I feel like I don’t have enough time to rest. Saturday and Sunday is not enough. I dread Sunday evenings because I’ll be going back to my miserably work life on Monday.

Late seeing your video, I just got up from a nap as usual. Resting, pausing have always been a part of my life. I don't need social media to remind me. I'm an only child and I was raised in a quiet restful home. Both parents took naps, and my grandmother too in north Jacksonville Florida. I have no health issues. I take technology free days every week. Religion free.. stay safe ladies............. from the hammock swaying away on the houseboat on the lakes this weekend, age 70, debt free and Child FREE

This video totally resonated. I love burning lavender oil.. it's soothing and calming. I love wearing fluffy pj's because they're so cozy😊. I used to be a workaholic, working 12, 13 hour shifts😢. I used to be soooo tired and always expected to be "productive" to the point I just felt worn out. The whole "strong blk woman" mantra never settled in my spirit. Thank you so much for your videos and messages ❤

If you ever say "I ought to be busy. I should be doing something, producing something." Ask yourself: for WHO and for WHAT? If it's at the cost of your peace, well-being and sanity, it's NEVER worth it.

For myself I have found so much greatness in sitting still, or being in one position in nature for long periods of time ❤

YOU ARE APPRECIATED! 🤎Your Words 🗣Truly Resonate. I were actually just having a silent conversation with myself the other day about 🚶🏾‍♀🚶🏾‍♂🚶🏾walking. Walking is GENTLE on the body, but yet VERY EFFECTIVE as well. Walking, Cardio, stretching, & Light 🏋🏾‍♀Weight lifting has been my Go To. ~Thanks For the Confirmation

Being an RN the greatest rest I can get is sleep but also performing self care helps me rest. Rubbing tissue oils and doing foot soaks helps a lot. A hot shower before bed, Sun bathing and bonding with my dogs are also relaxing.

Thank you for this video. I am trying to be more restful with my body and my life. I am trying to remove my stressors (people and things), especially because I have a very demanding job in healthcare which requires me to utilize my masculine side, to be ready for action and in charge. So it’s nice when I come home and get to be different. Very timely message! ❤❤

Today, I Felt overwhelmed and just felt like I couldn't finish my shift. Usually would tough it out as I had abt 3 hours left but took the rest of the time off and listened to my body. Btw, going through a burnout and need like a month or more off work

Hey Alecia hope all well...thank you for all the wonderful options you listed in your video.... What also works for me is that I make all my own skin care products...using Shea butter and essential oils...is another way that I love on my body daily... I love the smell of fragrances...so candles and wax melts in my home also creates the cosy comfy sense of feeling safe and protected in my space... I have times when I play dress-up, taking space to dress my body, exploring different outfits, just letting my inner girl play😊 Another great way to honour my body is that I dry brush my body and face...using brushing techniques helps the lymphatic draining...and releases tension and press...I dry brush morning and night...and I literally feel the stress leaving my body... Thank you for going deeper into the topic of rest... I'm based in London, England and I am writing this as I rest my body 😊

Alecia, thank you for the message of rest. I always feel guilty about taking rest. Time to let go of that which doesn’t make sense and does not serve me. You are such a gift to the world and so glad you are using your voice to do the work of truly helping people instead of causing more pain on us. I’m so glad we share the planet at this time. Love you much !
