“I have great respect for the past.
If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going.”
— Maya Angelou
Most of us would agree that rest is critical for our wellbeing.
We know that we are not actually machines.
We know that we have bodies with needs that cannot be put off indefinitely without consequences.
We know that the breathtaking pace that has come to define modern life is not only unsustainable, but also making people and the planet sick at scale.
And we know that we’re not satisfied with the status quo.
So why isn’t our intellectual understanding translating into change?
Why isn’t awareness leading to more rest?
Why isn’t knowledge enough?
Because your current rest story – the one you are living out day-to-day – resides beyond your conscious mind.
It lives in your subconscious, silently shaping your perception and invisibly influencing your decisions to affect how you feel about rest.
But here’s a little secret…
You have an irrevocable relationship with rest.
You always have and you always will.
Because your need for rest is a biological imperative. Put simply: you were born to rest.
No matter how you feel about your relationship with rest right now, I am here to remind you of this important truth.
This means the rest story you are currently embodying might not align with your values.
It might not even have your best interests at heart.
It might not even take your humanity into consideration.
It might not even be YOURS to begin with.
The beautiful thing about stories is that they’re perpetually in process, constantly changing, ever emergent.
What was once written to serve the status quo can be rewritten, again and again, as many times over as necessary, until it’s your rest story.
Somewhere along the way – through lived experience, systemic oppression, and socialization by family, friends, school, work, the media, and other aspects of culture – the rest story you were born with was replaced by one that would help you survive.
Join me for this 2-part event series all about rewriting our rest stories — not just for ourselves, but for our families, for the community, and for the culture.
For the first time ever, I will publicly teach the foundational framework that has enabled participants of Rewriting Our Rest Stories – my signature 4-month group program for tired API women & femmes – to make rest a tangible, practical, and central part of their busy lives.
