Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Monday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Important Reminders
This week I want to give you thoughts that you should be reminding yourself of on the regular for being on that journey to become your best self & live your life with as much ease as you can get.
These reminders will also be helpful during this super busy week of the year, leading us up to Christmas. This holiday can be stressful enough as it is, so there is no need to add in any extra introspective thoughts, but don't count next week out! These important reminders will also push you to take of yourself first more often than not.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- This week I wanted to talk about reminders that we should all be telling ourselves & talk about something a little bit lighter, since it is Christmas week & some of us have enough stress to deal with, I didn’t want to take you on any emotional whirlwind.
- Maybe next week, though!
- I thought it would be helpful to start with talking about reminding ourselves that it is okay to rest when we need it.
- I know this can be a really tough thing for a lot of people to admit to themselves, that rest is needed, but we need to get in the habit of doing so. There won’t always be someone there to remind you to do so, even if you do have that right now.
- Today I want to share with you not only different ways you can implement rest into your life, but also reasons why you need to.
- Let’s jump into 3 tips/reasons for rest:
- Tip #1: The first reason we need to rest is that our brains need a break. Giving your brain a rest will help to improve general everyday performance, improve mood & increase your ability to concentrate & give attention to whatever it is you need to focus on. Idea for resting the brain: Unplug from as much as you can.
- Tip #2: The second reason we need to rest is because our bodies can only take so much. According the the website, nectersleep in the UK, when our bodies do take some time to rest our cortisol levels are lower (which is our stress hormones), our sympathetic nervous system relaxes, which lowers our blood pressure & other hormones get to work that help to grow & repair things inside our bodies. Idea for resting the body: Sleep is the most obvious, but if that isn’t what you need, meditation works really well & for something that lets you still move your body but minimally, yoga or general stretching.
- Tip #3: The third & final reason we need to rest is because burnout is a real thing. Burnout is the mental, emotional & physical exhaustion created from prolonged stress from being overwhelmed, feeling unable to perform under pressure & just emotional drained. It’s the idea of not stopping, despite feeling the stress overflow. Idea for resting due to burnout: Delegate & be firm about your needs.
Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
