    Hiiii Beautiful People! I hope this video finds you well rested. If not, no worries and no shame. We are learning to rest *together*. This video spoke to where I am right now, and I figured I could not be alone in this, so I reshared this. This series is dedicated to you, to us. As Tricia Hersey says, "We Will Rest" even if it takes some practice. I'm sending you so much love, grace and peace.

    I did this for years out of survival mode, trauma & just wanting to prove to myself & others that I am worthy. it took 29 years to force myself to rest for my life. I was running my body, mind & spirit to the ground. I am resting for at least for a year & see how it goes. others are pushing me to grind harder & no I no longer subscribe to that.

    It’s so hard to😢 I’m unemployed and living off savings for 3months but even my dreams won’t let me rest. I dream of job applications and the anxiety is almost deathly

      sending you love. this society puts too much expectation on those of us who need time to heal. praying the perfect occupation that fills your soul finds you right on time.

      ​@@teatime.beautyPerfectly said! It is to much pressure, and the social shaming, criticizing, and judgement doesn't help.

    This is true for me as well. Winter has always been a season where I'm in an extreme rest n planning state. Since Im unable to regularly chill in front of a real fire right now, I've been using the real live crackling fires RUclips offers.( like the one u have at the end of this video )
    Doing nothing and hibernating in my own form used to be a challenge for me, up until recently.

    Thanks for sharing this. I'm recovering from a burnout atm. I'm so exhausted. Do you have any other videos related to your burnout that I could watch?

    Happy New Year Alecia! I've been sleeping on your content sadly, but I will use the time off to catch up ;)
    I, too, am trying to intentionally not do anything. It's funny you mention trying not to read self-improvement books or content. Because for me, it is my new hobby/special interest, lol! It helps me, as a lifelong people pleaser and survivor of narcissistic family abuse, to focus on myself. Which is something I'm not used to doing. But I've definitely been sleeping in. Extra cuddle time with my kitty. Walking outside when weather permits, reading books. and EATING! Omg, I've been eating so much lately....but I feel that my body needs the nourishment. Before, when dealing with my toxic family situation, I tended to eat less and undernourish myself. So perhaps this is my season of rest and recovery. Enjoying every minute of it so far!

    Alecia, you hear my soul. I am trying to be in this rest break. Looking for talking about this with Cat (Rebloom Room) tonight.
    Thank you for this healing space.

    Wishing you the best on your album process! I’m also in this process. I’m giving myself two weeks to do NOTHING. I’ve had to fight myself to not work 😭. So true working past tired isn’t sustainable. Also happy belated birthday! 🎉

    I like to cook for myself and wake up crazy early. Then I don’t do work after 8. I’m like nope I have time for me, but not for all that “other” stuff. Lovely video!

  • @fracklov

    I give myself a day each week and also 3 hrs in the morning ( I wake up at 5 because I have a child) it feels weird after so many years of running. Also… the Winter months I realized I tend to pull back and instead of fighting through I need to just listen to myself and slowdown❤

    Thank you so much for this video, Alecia. I'm in a great phase of change in my life, I'm going to take a long pause from my job 'cause I really feel exausted and I need to escape this crazy rat-race and take time to reappropiate of MY life and my passions. I also write songs and I'm also a singer (but my job it's not about it) and I started to suffer about Hashimoto's desease, and I think that distress for a very long time had been one of the causes of it. So... thank you. I need to hear the things you say. Happy new year!
