Why Resting Now Is the Key to Thriving Later

As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting.

Finally. Because honestly, this thought has been nagging me, weighing on me, and totally messing up my peace...and I’ve been ignoring it.

Not my smartest move, I admit.

The niggling thought? That “there’s more to be done.”

I TOLD myself I’d take time off this year: to truly step back and recharge. I’m a spiritual life coach for goodness’ sake! I KNOW this stuff.

But then came the slippery mental negotiations: “I won’t take calls…but I’ll catch up on emails. I won’t plan too much…but I’ll keep posting (spontaneously, of course).”

Sounding familiar to you too?

This constant push isn’t just about the work or the season; it’s about honouring our own needs.

It’s not just what we choose to do, but what we consciously choose not to do.

The Key to Thriving

This ties into something I’ve shared with a few private coaching clients recently, a mantra that’s resonated deeply with me (especially when I finally fessed up to myself about this issue):

“How we get there, is how we be there.”

👉 If I compromise my peace now, why wouldn’t I compromise it later?

👉 If I move toward my goals in a way that feels misaligned, how can I expect those goals to feel truly fulfilling when I arrive?

Luckily, I know I’m not alone in this thought spiral. The holidays can be a whirlwind of expectations - both external and internal - so this week, I invite you to consider your own inner stories and routines:

✨ Are they serving you, or stretching you too thin?

✨ Are you giving from a place of love, or out of obligation?

✨ Are you honouring your boundaries and allowing yourself to truly rest?

And so to use this key to thriving successfully....

Don’t make this laborious.

Don’t make this a judgment.

BUT...

Do make this light.

Do make this honest.

Do make the time for it.
