Happy Wednesday, gang! I’m back with ANOTHER Tee Talk this week. Can you believe we’ve been doing this together for 7 months now?! I know… me neither!

Today’s episode is short and sweet because I have an insanely busy weekend last week and my balance is feeling completely off. I need to spend some extra time recovering and resting. But, I wanted to catch you all up on the FIRST KEYNOTE that I presented last week–so pumped about this! Then, I recently read a passage that I needed to share with you all because I think it’s VERY relevant to what we do here on the show and an important reminder.

Key Takeaways:

• Rest is productive
• What your soul needs.
• Balance is the highest priority

As promised, here is the passage I share in today’s episode:
On the days when it hurts too much to dream, to hope, to think of anything beyond the line of sight ahead of you–just rest. You were raised in a world that believes your productivity can only exist in outward measure, that the only things watch doing are the ones that others can consume. Your soul cannot be fooled by this, no matter how much your mindset can try to superimpose such rigid beliefs upon you. Eventually, you give way to the guidance of your inner being, the part of you that knows how vital it is to recover, to reintegrate, to reflect, to balance all doing with the simplicity of being. There is nothing wrong with you for needing to take life at your own pace, in your own timing. In fact, there is something emerging from deep within you that is so strong in its conviction that it is making balance your highest priority. Your unwillingness to press forward in outdated ways is not a sign of your noncompliance, but that the spiritual freedom you have cultivated from within is finally beginning to take root. - Day 38, The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest
