thank you, and yes, exactly, needing rest made me feel so guilty, but once I took it, I realized how valid it was and how much I needed it. It was sacred also in that I told almost no one the details of my "rest journey" (except a couple of key supports) and took a break from social media during that time, to protect myself. I will encourage everyone to do this when needed.
I took a sacred pause. I was away from work for 3 months. I worked on so much healing. This led to some writing as well. Thank you for this episode Nicole, and for the words 'sacred pause' which is a lovely way to describe my time off and my seeking of rest and healing and peace.
Isn't 'sacred pause' a lovely way to frame it? Like you said, they're so important to encourage healing and peace—always a good reminder when we're tempted to think that resting is somehow setting us back. Really glad to hear you were able to get the support you needed, and that some writing came through too.
Oh, these insights are so powerful! I feel like I am always in the midst of a sacred pause. 😄 For years now my heart and soul have been whispering and sometimes speaking more loudly reminding me to slow down and reconnect. I truly appreciate these words of wisdom and reflections. Looking forward to soaking in more of this beautiful Substack. Subscribed!!💖💖💖
