Too often we push past signs of stress until we’re on the edge of burnout - exhausted, irritable, anxious, depressed, even having physical symptoms - sleep, digestive, flares of eczema, autoimmune symptoms, or hormonal problems.⁠

Lately, many of us have been dealing with stressor after stressor in our personal lives as well as in the world as a whole.
⁠
We also rarely let ourselves replenish after a big ‘push’ - having a baby, moving, changing jobs or relationships, launching something really big. Instead, we barrel into the next project and accumulate rest-deficit.⁠
⁠
But the pause is where the magic happens: replenish that energy, clarity, and creativity. Your well refills.⁠
⁠
I’m giving myself a gift today - I’m hitting pause to spend time with my loved ones, enjoy good food, move my body, read, rest and reset my brain, and enjoy being in the moment simply because I deserve it and so do you.
⁠
We don't need to accomplish something big, new, or incredible to deserve rest. We reap the reward of these things as a result of resting along the way- refilling our cups, replenishing our stores, and going at our own pace.

How do you know it’s already past time to hit pause? You’re...⁠
⚡more irritable than you want to be⁠
⚡reaching for sugar/alcohol more than usual⁠
⚡not jumping out of bed in the morning⁠
⚡resisting work or are unable to focus⁠
⚡losing your patience with everyone from your kids to the people at the post office⁠
⚡experiencing physical symptoms ⁠
⁠
Ideally we want to catch ourselves before we get to this point! Rest is part of the process of having a happy life with sustainable energy. It allows total repair of body-mind-spirit.⁠
⁠
I invite you to join me in welcoming rest as part of self-care - from now on before you get to your breaking point. Rest is the most important adaptogen we have, it's free, and we all need to make more time for it.

How will you refill your cup this weekend?

HOME BIRTH🍓
with Dr. T'Karima Ticitl, an Indigenous Certified, Licensed Midwife serving all 5 boroughs of New York + New Jersey and founder of Cihuapahtli Matriarch Council.

This month’s birth circle is focused on HOME BIRTH! I have the honor of featuring T’Karima as a special guest 😍 did I mention last post, that she’s attended at least 20 home births since the major outbreak of the pandemic / April? Yes... 2️⃣0️⃣!
Don’t miss out on our discussion of Indigenous midwifery, the importance of home births - especially for Indigenous peoples and reclaiming teachings and rites of passage, most importantly home birth in all of its forms. The best part about it, is that you get to hear first hand encounters from an Indigenous LM, CM herself, as well as ask any questions you may have.
