Creative Overflow with Jenny Kiehn

Why Rest Unlocks your Greatest Potential

27 Jun 2025

Description

When I went on holiday last week, I had an epiphany while I was relaxing in the water. The gentle waves were so soothing and I thought "Why do I even bother having a hectic life at all?" Connecting deeply to myself over the holiday has helped me understand why rest is vital to work in a profound way. My approach to painting has totally changed, my management of my family has hugely improved, and I am realizing that I have much more potential than I ever knew.There is something about deeply relaxing that helps you realize that you're enough. It's okay to just be. You don't have to do anything to prove yourself. You don't have to justify your place at the table. You can just be here.Letting go of all that extra effort means you get to let your energy flow into new areas. Suddenly you have access to greater ability than you ever new. You can access new levels of creativity and innovation. It's magical.So take the time to deeply rest. Go to bed really early for a week and see how your perspective changes. Dial all your roles back to basics and coast. If you can, take a week off.And most importantly, say "No" really often. Every time you do you say "YES!" to yourself. This was definitely the magic ingredient I was missing. I'm so excited for a deeply restful future.If you enjoyed this episode, definitely tune in every Friday because I will be releasing a new episode each week. If you're interested in a conversation on how you can bring more abundance into your creative life, leave a review of this podcast, take a screenshot of it and email it to [email protected]. I'll invite you to a free group coaching class where we talk about exactly that!
