Why is it so hard to stop?? I love a walk, looking up! Lately I've spent hour after hour seated, reading, and it's driving me to explosive goofy dance breaks. Must be what my body needs!

I wish I were there to dance too!

Playing the ukulele helps me rest, even though it requires focus, but a different kind of focus than writing. True fact: the ukulele is the happiest instrument in the world.

Ukulele! I love it. It does seem like it’d be the happiest instrument.

I too am learning to trust the process more and more – resting & nourishing > grinding & brute forcing

some of my favorite forms of rest are walking, doing yoga, baking, spending time with friends

happy resting!

Rest is so nourishing! And so far I haven't lost interest in returning to the other part of the cycle ;)

Working out (exercise) isn’t rest but it is what I need to do to balance between work and the rest

And I like stitching (embroidery)

And I love getting Thai massages
