Going With the Flow: Allowing Ourselves Time to Rest, Work, and Play with Meridith Bienvenue

<p>The earth has seasons, the moon has cycles, the day has rhythms of light and dark, warmth, and cold. As humans, we also live with cycles. Women have monthly cycles, we all live in seasonal cycles, and we have daily cycles as well. Each season of part of these cycles comes with natural places for rest, motivated work, and play. However, we often internalize the message that we constantly need to push through our need for rest or stillness and constantly achieve. This pushing can lead to burnout and frustration.</p> <p>In this episode, we discuss the idea of leaning into cyclical living instead of fighting against it with Meridith Bienvenue. She explains how we can actually harness the power of the different cycles that we live with and learn to honor our need for both healing calm and empowering movement. It requires trusting ourselves, honoring our bodies and our minds, and flowing with life.</p> <p><strong>BOOKS AND LINKS:</strong></p> <p>You can connect with Meridith on her website, <a href="https://www.shewhocan.com/"><u>https://www.shewhocan.com</u></a> and on instagram <a href="https://instagram.com/shewhocan?utm_medium=copy_link"><u>@shewhocan</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3lGIMrl"><u>The Universe Has Your Back</u></a> // Gabrielle Bernstein</p> <p><strong>RELATED EPISODES</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000427659925"><u>Discovering YOUR Life Essentials</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000450854528"><u>Finding Joy and Enthusiasm in Every Day</u></a></p> <p><strong>EPISODE SPONSORS</strong></p> <p><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mamazen-mindful-parenting-app/id1523198397"><u><strong>U</strong></u></a><u><strong>s!&nbsp;</strong></u></p> <p><strong>Our journal is fantastic:) </strong>Are you feeling lost, unanchored or listless in your days?
