At the beginning of my personal development journey I had some serious resistance around rest. I’ve always wanted to feel busy. And because of that, I’ve been experimenting with it for just as long (see this blog post from 2014).

I feel like I’m now in quite a healthy place with rest - i.e. I actually allow myself to do it, without the guilt! I recently had two weeks completely off my business and was able to do so without even a twinge of regret. And my business continued to grow while I was away!

Not only has forced downtime allowed me to create an identity for myself outside of my business but I’ve become WAY more productive and successful. When I have less time to get shit done I can’t be as sloppy with it!

In this episode, I’m sharing why perfectionists hate to rest, how to skyrocket your productivity levels and my own journey with guilt-free downtime.
