Learning How to Press Pause, Rest, and Be Refreshed

Sometimes we set aside time to rest and unwind, but we end up feeling unsettled and unrefreshed. Why is that?

What do we need from our times of pause? What do we need to give ourselves in order to feel rejuvenated?

A rejuvenating pause can look different for everyone. You and your partner may need very different things from your times of rest, even if you're unwinding in the same room, together. I'll tell you what that looks like for my husband and me.

This episode will help you to ask yourself a question you may have never asked before: "What do I need from my times of pause? And what can I do to be sure my needs are met?"
