This has been a season of holding so much joy and excitement, along w deep exhaustion.

Most days however what I’ve been holding is a level of overwhelm and stress that have felt untenable.

Managing the million details of preparing a home to sell, packing up and moving across the country. Caring for our beloved sick pup at end of life (she’s a strong little one despite how sick she is 💗🙏🏽), and settling ourselves in a new house and province. It was a LOT. And some days, I got scared at how much anxiety and pressure my body was feeling, how on edge and unresourceful I felt, the to do list that felt like everything was an emergency…the mind that wouldn’t stop. I felt ill.

This move to Nova Scotia was a deep desire for both of us, AND it brought me to an internal space I didn’t think I’d reach again.

I’ll share more about the delights of this move, the fun discoveries and the enchanted forest by our house soon. It’s been so full of beauty and all the reasons we made this move🙏🏽💗

For now I’m just sharing the truthy truth of where this season of life has brought me. I’m learning to accept where I am, without judgement. With compassion and care instead. That’s still a humbling practice.

If you’re moving through a challenging season, here’s a few things to remember 🩵

- your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between something exciting/that you want and something stressful or unpleasant. It all reads it as activation. And when we spend too much time in that fight or flight /activation mode without breaks or enough restoration, we become depleted. Don’t underestimate the impact of stress on your system over time. 🙏🏽

-Sometimes we need to override our body’s signals to get through something. But the body, in its infinite wisdom, will always force you to listen, in one way or another.
And when it does, be gentle on yourself 💗

-Facing the truth of what we’re living sometimes feels so inconvenient. You might feel like you don’t have the time to stop and acknowledge what lives within. But in the end, it always sets us free.

Yours in patiently making our way back to a more rested space inside 🥰

I looked at my calendar and I couldn’t breathe…

All week I’ve been feeling tightness in my chest, the familiar buzz of anxiety when I’m reaching the unsustainable edges of my capacity.

Operating at this pace for two many weeks in a row, my body always gives me the signals.

This week it was feeling overwhelmed and short of breath when I’d look at the full calendar, the one with barely any white space.

It was also the edginess, strong reactions at the smallest of things (like the dog peeing in her bed for the second time in a few hours).

I felt ungrounded and incapable of taking in even one more thing.

So I had a good cry 😭- releasing the pent up energy while my hubby just stroked my arm gently and listened.

That cry felt good, but telling the truth about what I was feeling out loud, was even more relief.

I then knew what I needed to do to reclaim some mental and emotional spaciousness: cancel plans.

Create space to breathe again…

I wrestled with my fear of disappointing the people I had plans with….worrying they’d feel certain ways I was trying to avoid for them.

What I’ve learned in this season of life, is that I cannot continue to disappoint myself (and ignore my needs) in that dance.

The result was kind, empathetic and understanding responses 🩵🫶💗

And a sense that I can always reclaim ease, and soften the unrealistic expectations - a part of what I call my path back to Ease and remembering myself in the shuffle.

If you’ve been feeling any of this. I see you. 💚

And I wish you the courage to take even the smallest step to return to your needs as the foundation.

When we honour our body’s signals, we begin to embody trust that we matter too, even when it feels impossible or uncomfortable.

This is the self care we’re really yearning for 🩵

Ps. In case you're wondering, I'm not a Rest Guide bc this path comes easy to me...I'm here because this is the medicine I've always needed.

We’ve inherited a story that says productivity is THE way.

But the problem is that the satisfaction of a completed to-do list is short-lived and illusive - because something always gets added.

There’s always more…no real end point.

Instead, a sign post that always gets moved by a few inches…

Other things always seem to come first...

🌿 Before our right to rest
🦋Before the things that actually fill us up, nourish our joy well.

Q: What are you unconsciously trading to keep up with that part of you attached to being productive? 🩵

Because when productivity becomes our Master, we sacrifice the Sacred.🪷

Are you the kind of tired that sleep won’t fix?

Rest is way more than getting enough sleep.

We don’t need to overhaul life. We just need one small rested step.

Because we carry layers of fatigue that just sleep doesn’t always address.

😮‍💨 the physical + emotional exhaustion of carrying it all for too long
🤯 the tiredness from expecting so much of ourselves
🔊 the mental noise that doesn’t let us relax
💚 the spiritual tiredness (the “Is there more to life than this?...” feeling)

💗Rest is our capacity to move out of constant doing and rushing
💫Rest is our capacity to slow down and Be enough.
💗Rest is learning to trust that it’s safe to relax, and soften into the here and now.

It’s offering a softer alternative to that part of us that learned she’s only worthy when she’s doing all the things.

Rest is a lens on your life that whispers:
🌿How could I make this more restful and easeful?
🌿How might I weave Ease into this day, difficult conversation, or busy week?
🌿How might I soften my expectations of myself, even for a moment?

Restful = Easeful ✨💗✨

Easeful = space for more Relaxation + Aliveness!

Ask yourself:

🌀How might I infuse my day with more ease and grace?

Notice how your body responds to this Q. 🤔

I'd love to hear how this Q felt in your body? (or what's resonating most for you)?

Yours in remembering it was always meant to be softer, and more nourishing. 💙
