In this episode of the Rest of Us podcast, host Dana Tenille Weekes kicks off a three-part series on the rest continuum, focusing on identifying personal rest patterns and activities. Listeners are guided through a reflection exercise to list their recent rest activities or desired forms of rest and categorize them into 'doing nothing,' 'restoring,' and 'liberating.' With an emphasis on self-acceptance and agency, the episode encourages listeners to observe themes and patterns in their rest habits without judgment. Dana also invites the community to engage with further reflections and resources on Instagram.
