Rest isn't the prize. It's the power source.
Ever feel like you're sprinting through life, only to wonder where all the time went? Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, tackles this fast-paced dilemma in her latest episode, 'The Power of Pausing: What Rest Really Reveals.' Boysen invites listeners to hit the brakes and explore what true rest can uncover. In a world obsessed with speed, where fast food and rapid replies are the norm, pausing seems almost counterproductive.
Yet, Boysen argues that rest isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. She delves into the notion that our value shouldn't be tied to productivity but rather to our ability to connect with ourselves and our surroundings. Boysen shares personal anecdotes and insights from notable figures like Carl Jung and Tricia Hersey, emphasising that rest is not weakness but a powerful form of resistance against the hustle culture. The episode encourages listeners to redefine productivity and create rituals that incorporate intentional pauses.
Whether it's scheduling a micropause or recognising personal red flags of burnout, Boysen offers practical advice on how to honour rest as a vital part of life. So, are you ready to shift gears and find your middle lane? This episode might just be the nudge you need to start valuing the quiet moments. After all, rest doesn't make you fall behind—it helps you catch up with yourself. Why not press pause and see what rises to the surface?
