Who fucking knows?

But I'm not afraid of resting anymore.

I feel so transformed from that week.

Like I can't forget that.

Like I know I now have experienced the value of true rest.

And so I'm going to allow myself.

I'm not going to feel guilty about rest anymore because I think I've been shown how truly valuable it is.

Now, what's the point of this whole episode?

It's not actually to share with you all the value of rest.

It's not that.

The point of this episode is not for me to say, hey, look what I did to help me feel rested.

Like,

Here's how you can feel rested too.

It's not even really about the rest, I don't think.

I think why I wanted to make this episode is because I felt really bad about the fact that I knew how to effectively rest, but I couldn't figure out how to do it myself.

I had so much guilt and shame around that.

But what I ultimately had to do was for whatever reason, it was part of my journey that I needed to get to a low enough point where this would happen.

I think the learning lesson for me in all of this has been sometimes you need to crash and fucking burn in order to bloom.

I'm so grateful that I hit that breaking point because without it, I don't think I would have had that week of truly effective rest.

I don't know that I've ever effectively rested before that week.
