Episode 38: The Power of Rest in Business: Nurturing the Feminine Entrepreneur
Manage episode 407397143 series 3561299
It's time for the era where women are not only well-paid but also well-rested.
Rest has not been easy for me. My parents could have won the Olympics for workaholism. I grew up being societally “trained” to value productivity above everything else and see rest as being idle. Things are very different now but it's taken me a LOT of discipline to make rest part of my life.
The truth is, many women have proved that they can build huge empires. But often… at the cost of their rest, aliveness, peace, intimate life. We've got it all upside down. What if conscious rest IS the place where we access more aligned productivity, reset our nervous system, and source limitless energy?
In all of my business containers, before we do any business work, I always ask my clients : "where are you at with your body and your nervous system?". Because the success of any business strategy is directly related to your nervous system capacity to implement it and have staying power.
So, why is rest hard? Because many people don't actually feel safe or familiar with the state of being rested and relaxed. Just like in meditation, we have to face our restless monkey mind. All the addictive behaviours come up. And deep down, we unconsciously believe that our self-worth equals how much we get done and achieve.
On the other hand, rest is what feeds your nervous system. A deeply relaxed body is resilient. Open to flowstates. it can surrender to the subtle waves of pleasure and stay there. A deeply relaxed body has the spaciousness to receive love, wealth, and clients.
Enjoy this episode to receive that paradigm shift that rest is productive and it is a vital fuel to receive all that you desire.
