Rest.
All of us need it. Most of us reject it.
In fact, for many of my overachieving, perfectionist friends out there (also speaking from experience myself here), “rest” is just another dirty, 4-letter word! A word that shouldn’t dare be muttered from our lips!
(Yes, Enneagram 3 friends… I am looking at you!)
The internal dialogue goes something like this:
If I rest, I will fall behind. If I rest, I won’t be relevant anymore. If I rest, I will be seen as weak.
So clearly if I connect the dots there, ‘to rest’ is the antithesis of ‘to achieve’….(or, is it??)
Hmm… If any of these statements resonate with you, then you are definitely in the right place today, friend!
In my new book “Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots” (hitting the shelves in April!), I talk all about how we can’t achieve our way into worth! Quite the opposite actually.
In fact, no matter how hard you run, you can’t outrun you. You will be left exhausted. Longing for rest. Longing for peace.
Friends! I am SO excited about today’s guest (a 3rd time guest to the show)- Morgan Harper Nichols – because the words from her new book, “Peace Is a Practice” ring so true to me! And! They also compliment the heart behind “Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots” just perfectly.
Today Morgan offers up practical advice to become a peacemaker in your own life… starting right where you are, and in some of the most unexpected places.
It resonated with me so much when Morgan said:
