Rest is Productive 1:06:54

2y ago1:06:54

1:06:54

This week we’re talking about rest & the constant need to feel productive. Whether we inherited it from parents, coaches, or western society in general, this belief that we have to “do” in order to “be” can feel so engrained that it doesn’t even feel conscious most of the time. No wonder we’re more burnt out than we’ve ever been! So this week we ta…

Our society has created two distinct categories: social/normal drinker and alcoholic. The reality is, a lot of us will find ourselves somewhere between the two extremes.
