As a creative who has to reach deadlines, I agree wholeheartedly with this. Burnout doesn't produce a piece of writing---a rest does. Also, it's crucial to shut off television news when suffering with 'news fatigue'. Short and sweet, this video--and needed. Thank you.
It's been 9 months now since I've written those words in my notebook. I read them whenever I feel the urge to be productive all the time and whenever I notice that my mind plays its game to convince me to ignore my body's needs. Thanks, Jeff.
Je suis en train de re-lire ton livre Jeff. :"Se reposer" et je me dis :" oui c'est bien cela que je ressens au plus profond de moi.." merci Jeff..... Une autre vague de l océan......
I've finally become so dissolutioned from seeking God because I don't think I really care to find Him. And I do see my mind reaching for whatever trendy thing there is that I believe will bring me peace next. From returning to my religious roots, to doing daily yoga, to finding all the items that brought me short bursts of joy from my past, material items that I didn't appreciate enough when I had them like an old cookbook or a childhood doll or piece of clothing. It's like im grasping grasping grasping. I'm not terribly depressed or upset about it, just a noticing that not much has changed in 53 years. The wanting and restlessness and hiding is still who I am around my core.
Jeff, one thing I've been grappling with is this theme in my life about hiding out from my life. It's almost like I came to Earth to hide out from God. Do you understand?
I would love to rest but anytime that I do end up forgetting what makes me whole when I rest I get into a dark side that shouldn't even be or maybe I'm rambling on too much I try to keep my teachings at Bay so I can learn and not be so opinionated I would love to rest and just settle
Actually I always believed the same but I found through experience that if I lowed myself a “time out” (say a 5 minute Power Nap or a sit and breathe/silent sitting) when needed, I would return to work with more vigor, inspiration, and enjoyment leading to accomplishing more with less effort and time.
Yes, I learn a lot from our cat:)
What a lovely reminder. As an adult, I often feel anxious if I’m not “being productive”.
Same here, we‘re so conditioned😬
Someone make a 10 hour version of this. I feel like I need to hear it many many times to sink in :)
Put it on loop❤
At some level I sort of knew this, but I really needed to hear someone say this because so many people are saying the opposite.

Totally resonate… you can’t pull water from a dried up well. It’s the interval of rest that allows the refill. All the best on your creating
This brought tears❤
Jeff foster you made my day.
I was forced to rest. I love it. Finally given myself full permission to sleep long healing hours.
Just in few words such profound wisdom. Thank you.💖
This is great. It came at a time where rest is what I need
Reminds me of
Charles Bukowski. How awesome is this!!!
Thank -you from the bottom of my heart. This is permission to let go , to rest in the deepest peace of yourself. Who knew it was there all along ?

Today I had a family gathering and, like many times, I didn't feel to talk at all.
