Appreciative Rest is Taking in and Appreciating the beauty around you. (Phase III of The UnVeiling Method - 7 Forms of Rest Other Than Sleep)Creative rest practice is the active form of appreciative rest where you are creating by painting, writing, sewing, singing, playing an instrument etc.Signs of Appreciative Rest Depletion:● focus on the needs of others and don’t consider your needs a priority.● talk yourself out of self-care as if you don’t deserve being cared for.● feel you are being selfish whenever you consider doing something for yourself.● often feel your work is not of value or that others do not appreciate your contributions.● find it difficult to enjoy things in nature or in your environment.How are you being creative in your life?What's your favorite way to express your creativity?How do you feel when you are being creative?What do you notice when you haven't spent time creating like you'd like to?Myrko Thum quote:“The present moment is the only thing where there is no time. It is the point between past and future. It is always there and it is the only point we can access in time. Everything that happens, happens in the present moment. Everything that ever happened and will ever happen can only happen in the present moment. It is impossible for anything to exist outside of it.”Active forms of creative rest allow us to be in the present moment and to allow space for our mind, body and higher self to align.Spend 10 - 15 minutes on your chosen creative rest.
