REVIEW OF THE WEEK:



One of my top favorite podcasts... seriously!



I’ve been listening to this podcast forever and was sad that I couldn’t leave a review because I listen on Spotify... turns out I can! Trish is so positive and uplifting. Her advice on changing your mindset is so motivating, and it makes it even better that she is a Christian and encourages us with her faith at the same time. It’s impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to one of Trish’s podcast episodes!

REST IS KINDNESS



Let yourself be human.



Let's stop competing in the insane competition of doing more and sleeping less.



A unrested you is not a badge of honor - it's a declaration of mismanaged priorities. 



I resisted this for years. I didn't want to be human. I wanted to burn the candle at both ends. I didn't want to have to say no to some things. 



But when I tasted rest. 



It turns out it was what I had been seeking all along. 



I had to learn to break my own rules. 



Sleep … boosts your immune system, prevents weight gain, increases mood, strengthens your heart, increases productivity, improves exercise performance, increases mental clarity, improves memory, reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and heightens sex drive.
