The Power Of Rest
Why doing less can be more…
In a world that celebrates hustle culture, slowing down can feel shameful. Especially for us women, it’s engrained in us to do more, act more, and be more than we are. But here’s the truth, rest is not lazy or unproductive - it’s a way to connect and ground you to your true sense of self.
True feminine energy doesn’t exist in busy mode, it exists in fluidity, spontaneity. Feminine energy flows, it is not forced. When we override our natural systems, we disconnect from our inner wisdom, our authentic selves. This is why taking rest is so important.
So here’s how you can rest properly in a way that honours your feminine energy:
Rest is not just sleep
Rest can be stillness, providing space for yourself, surrendering your responsibilites. Rest can look like:
Meditation
Slow movement (walks, slow flow yoga)
Having a nice long bath
Reading your fave book with no distractions
Colouring/painting
Relaxing Massage
Eating with no guilt
Rest is when you say to yourself, “I chose to honour and accept where I am, I don’t need to prove my worth, I trust that my value exists in this stillness”.
How does resting heal our feminine energy?
Taking rest allows our nervous system to regulate itself. When we slow down, our body’s stress responses calm down also. This creates a safe space for our femininity to flourish.
It reconnects you to your inner voice. When we are constantly busy with external activities, we never sit and listen to our thoughts + feelings. Resting allows you to hear yourself again.
Rest teaches you to receive, a key trait of femininity. Whether you’re receiving support from loved ones or divine guidance - the feminine receives gracefully.
It makes you magnetic. A well-rested woman glows differently, she radiates a sense of self-trust and grounded presence.
Resting without guilt
Learn to say no to things that drain you, without the need of having to explain yourself. Swap out the voice in your head that tells you “how can you be more productive?” for “how can i nourish myself more in this moment?”. Let go of the need to rush everything you do, learn to take your time and practice mindfulness. Honour your menstrual cycle by taking softer days when needed.
Rest isn’t just taking a nap, it’s a constant mindset that keeps you safe and grounded. The deeper you go into your softness, the stronger you can become. You set clear boundaries, your body moves in alignment with your soul, you radiate self-trust and compassion.
So if you needed the reminder today, let this be it:
You are allowed to rest
You are allowed to slow down
You are allowed to do less.
Hope this helps!🩷
