Rest is Love

I’ve been writing and editing a book (yay!) which is why I've been coming to your inbox every other week more recently, but you're going to start seeing me weekly again. For the most part.
 
I understand the importance of consistency in any endeavor one may undertake and simultaneously, if you're exhausted, if you need extra recovery, that comes first.
 
It's OK to say no to your commitments. It's OK to step back and give yourself more time downtime if that's what you need. Honor your cadence.
 
You don't have to do it all. Rules can be arbitrary. You make the rules for your life, and you can change those rules at any point.
 
The time I spent focusing on my creativity and limiting my commitments was needed to conserve my energy and focus. And it really taught me that if at any point I feel that I need a week off, I will take that week off.
 
Remember, you are the boss of your own reality.
 
As Danielle LaPorte says, "Rest because you Love- yourself, your body, your mind, the world. Rest because there is always more beautiful work to be done. Rest to become stronger. Rest to become wiser. Rest is love."
