What do you do when life goes sideways?
Power through? Or pause and reset?
Even as a coach, I’ve been guilty of choosing hustle over healing at times. But after four soul-soothing days at my Spirit of the Mountain retreat, I’m reminded: Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a requirement.
Here’s some cool science to back this up: When you slow down (think yoga, breathwork, meditation), your parasympathetic nervous system kicks in—that’s your body’s “rest and digest” mode. It’s where healing happens, stress drops and even metabolism improves.
So here’s a challenge for you:
Don’t wait until you’re fried to rest. Build it in. Daily. Intentionally.
Some ideas:
Prioritize 7–9 hours of sleep
In addition to your cardio workouts, add in gentle movement for your body. Restorative yoga, mobility work, an evening stroll.
Start your day with breathwork or journaling
Unplug—especially before bed
Actually take a vacation (no emails!)
