Eating Disorders

Hi, Mighties! 💙

Last week, as we kicked off the new month, I took an actual break from "most" of my never-ending list of responsibilities. In doing so, I realized that resting is really challenging for me.

I noticed that when I slow down, my mind has more time to ponder, wander, ruminate, and reflect. Sometimes that's a good thing, but other times my thoughts can become dark or lonely in what feels like the snap of a finger. It was an uncomfortable experience, but it's also something I'm learning to navigate.

What's your relationship with rest? How does taking a break affect your mind and your mental health?

I'd love to hear your perspective. What helps you to actually rest and recharge?

How can we practice being thankful for all of it? The highs and the lows- all of it made us who we are today. Even though there's pain in our stories, it all shaped us into who we are.

Go little. So often we forget that we are allowed to do LESS. Especially when we are overwhelmed. The trick isn't to do more, it's to have grace and slow down.
