Welcome to Black Girl Burnout Podcast, Kelly here.

And today I want to talk all about how to opt out of the grind and how to prioritize

and really opt into a rest-centered life. We're going to talk about what it

looks like to truly build a life where rest just isn't a moment, but it's a foundation. This whole

month, the theme has been building on what our theme for the year is, which is New Year healed

me. And we have narrowly focused in on rest as a way to facilitate healing.

And rest is a way to keep healing at the forefront of your life.

And of course, I have acknowledged that anytime people are sick, what do we tell them?

We always tell them to rest.

And so much a part of us healing ourselves

emotionally and mentally and spiritually is all about incorporating rest in our lives. This whole

month, we've talked about ways to do it. We have gone through boundaries. We've talked about dealing

with guilt. We have talked about the enemies of rest. We've talked about dealing with guilt. We have talked about

the enemies of rest. We've had a fantastic guest, Amanda Miller, Little John, who talked all

about through her book, The Rest Revolution, the tools that we need to build up in our arsenal

to be able to appropriately manage and prevent burnout

and to do it via rest.

And so as we close out this month, focusing on rest, I want you to visualize something

for me.

I want you to imagine waking up in the morning and not feeling rushed.

Imagine having a life where rest isn't something you just kind of squeeze in,

but it's something that you build everything else in your life around.
