Today I'm sharing something that's been on my heart.
After a busy season of caregiving, farm life, and the many responsibilities that come with both, I found myself asking an important question:
Do I need rest... or am I trying to escape?
They can look the same, but they're very different.
✨ Rest restores us. ✨ Escaping helps us avoid what feels too heavy.
The beautiful thing is that neither deserves shame. Sometimes our urge to escape is simply our nervous system asking for care.
In today's video, we're exploring how to recognize the difference and how meeting ourselves with compassion—not judgment—is where healing begins.
🤎✨ Affirmation: "I choose restoration over avoidance. I meet myself with kindness."
I'd love to hear from you. ✨ Have you ever mistaken escaping for resting? Let's chat in the comments. 🌿
