Ep 81 // Can’t Find Time to SLOW DOWN? Why REST Can Be One of the Most PRODUCTIVE Things You Do! Biblical Perspective for Saying YES to that Summer Vacation;)

<p>How do you feel when I say the word REST? </p> <p> </p> <p>Does it feel impossible or offensive? </p> <p> </p> <p>Does it trigger feelings of guilt and laziness?</p> <p> </p> <p>Or does it sound like GOALS and something you are yearning for?</p> <p>…Maybe a little of all of it?</p> <p> </p> <p>I remember when rest felt like a ‘4 letter word’ to me and I would be EMBARRASSED to be seen not doing anything! </p> <p> </p> <p>Even after having a baby, I would feel so insecure about lying down to nurse my baby for a fear that others were going to think I was a lazy mom. </p> <p> </p> <p>However, the word “BUSY”</p> <p>...now THAT carried some 'worthy weight' and made me feel like a better person. </p> <p> </p> <p>I could throw that word around and feel proud that I was always DOING SOMETHING. </p> <p> </p> <p>Well, God busted me big time on my habit of striving and feeling that I had to work for my worthiness. He brought to my attention how my identity was wrapped up in what I DID rather than Who I was and WHOSE I was. </p> <p> </p> <p>I’ve come a LONG way and what I actually want to tell you today is how I’ve learned that REST is actually PRODUCTIVE. </p> <p> </p> <p>Yes, you heard me right. </p> <p>For a variety of reasons, you cannot afford NOT to rest if you’re trying to reach your goals and move the needle in your business!</p> <p> </p> <p>Today I’m going to tell you about how I was reminded recently about the power of pressing pause because taking time to SLOW down is necessary at times, so that you can speed up and get the WORK DONE. </p> <p> </p> <p>I hope this quick conversations frees you up a little this summer to say YES, to that vacation or to that everyday moment to kick your feet up and RELAX!</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect ~ <a href='http://www.nourishingmichelle.com/connect'>www.NourishingMichelle.com/connect</a> Email ~ <a href='mailto:Hello@nourishingmichelle.com'>Hello@nourishingmichelle.com</a> IG ~ @NourishingMichelle  FB ~ <a href='http://www.facebook.com/NourishingMichelle%C2%A0'>www.Facebook.
