I Choose to Rest

I choose to rest now

Whatever could be done, would be done, should be done will wait

I am pushing pause on the outside world

So I can be with my inside world

I choose to rest

I don’t even have to breathe deeply

I simply rest

I recharge, I recover, I rejuvenate 

Rest is important to me

Rest builds up my immune system

Rest builds up my mental clarity

Rest builds my spirituality

I choose to rest now and regularly

I give myself many gifts

One of them is rest

And I choose to continue my rest

As the music continues...

You Are Worthy ❤️

 

Feeling down about yourself? Struggling with setting boundaries? Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present?

Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes!

But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.
