Rest is a sign of worthiness is going to stay with me for a while. I think most of us only let ourselves rest after we've earned it, which kind of defeats the whole point. Taking a full month off right after writing about rest for two years feels like the real test of whether you believe what you teach. What are you most curious to find out about yourself once the doing stops for a while?
How much does curiosity expand when I rest and go into the dark? My values are calm and creativity so I am hoping this time will strengthen them. Thank you for the comment.
Calm and creativity, that’s such a specific pair to name as what you’re hoping rest sharpens. Most people would just say energy or motivation, but you went straight for the actual values underneath. Will you know they’ve strengthened by how the month feels while you’re in it, or by what you make once you’re back?

By both. Have you read Rest Is Resistance by Tricia Hersey? I highly recommend and felt called to mention it.

I haven't read it yet but I'm writing it down right now. The title alone feels like something I need. Thank you for the recommendation, Abby.
