We have to thank the good and bad days.. sometimes we need that rest to see where we were running too much and needed to be still.

Why is it that whenever you feel like you’re on a roll, life comes at ya. Progressing nicely these last few weeks and then hit with sickness I haven’t had in years. Two unexpected days off, but listening to my body and resting. Stay healthy everyone! #lifehappens #restmattersforhealth

F I N D. T I M E. F O R. R E S T. I know it’s really hard to prioritise rest and sleep. It’s not something most of us put on our to do list. And I get it! I’m as guilty as anyone of have ridiculous expectations about what’s achievable in any given day. But I know how harmful this is to me and those around me. So, for example, this week when little one fell asleep in the car and the drive wasn’t long enough. We pulled over so she could sleep a little longer and I could join her. Be ready to spot opportunities for rest. That doesn’t just mean sleep. Meditation, breathing practices, yoga Nidra, listening to music or a relaxing story with your eyes closed. There are loads of ways to find deep relaxation that don’t rely on being able to fall asleep during the day. Science showing the benefits of rest just keeps coming. So what are your ‘rest hacks’? How do you squeeze it into your day? #restmatters #restmatterstoo #restmattersforhealth #restmatters❤️ #restandrelaxation #restandrecharge #restandrelax #restandrecovery #restandrestore #restandreset #restandrecover #restandrejuvenation #snooze #snoozefest #snoozetime #snoozes #snoozebutton #snoozetime💤 #howdoyourelax #howdoyourelaxwithkids #howdoyourelaxactually #howdoyourelaxyourmind #howdoyourelaxyourbp #howdoyourelaxwithatoddler #make #time #maketime #maketimeforyou #MakeTimeForHealth

Day 10, Popped in to say a quick hello and a toodaloo. In honour of my self care, im taking today off for some week deserved me time. When starting something new or bringing a new routine, remember to factor in You Time, it is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and excitement of creativity that e forget to take pause, every moment counts including rest. So I hope you all rest really well and get right into the joy of pause. Lots of love Minqwa #day10 #beautyrest #pause #joyofdoingnothing #hustlewithease #joyinresting #selfcare #selfresponsibility #everypartoflifecounts #restmattersforhealth #thespacesinbetween #livingisapractice
🥱We all know when it’s time to stop or take a break don’t we. Or do we? It can sneak up on you, can’t it, fatigue and it has so many subtle levels and nuances: You can be physically tired but mentally wired or mentally drained but physically edgy. There’s heavy eyelids, there’s catching yourself shallow breathing, headaches, clenching jaws or aching shoulders drifting up towards ears. There’s unexpected irritable, defensive, snappy or downright aggressive reactions. There’s too tired to sleep, too tired to wake up. Loss of motivation or wired obsessive determination. There’s reaching for a chocolate bar, a drink, a smoke, a drug, a spend. And there’s good old bones deep exhaustion 🥱 It’s amazing that at different times and for different reasons we’ve probably all experienced these and either been unable or unwilling to listen to the need to put our feet up, close our eyes and rest - however much we needed it! With caffeine, artificial light, long work hours, high expectations and our ‘always on’ culture it’s too easy to fool your body and mind that you’re not tired. That ‘there’s plenty of time for sleep when you’re dead’. So I just wanted put it back on your radar. What’s your tiredness level right now? And does it have a type, texture or repercussions? #restmatters #restmatterstoo #restmattersforhealth #restmatters❤️ #downtime #howtired #howtiredareyou #howtiredami #restmore #restmorelifestyle #prioritiserest #prioritiserestdays #prioritiserestandrecovery #prioritiserestwhenweneedit #prioritiseresting #prioritiserestandrelaxation #restisntlazy #yogafordeeprest #restisbest #restmoresleepbetter #prioritisesleephygiene #yoganidra #putyourfeetup #putyourfeetupandrelax #putyourfeetupfriday #learnhowtorest #learnhowtorestnotquit #worklifebalance #worklifebalancegoals
Been up since 3am so day ten was a rest day!! #fitness #restday #restmattersforhealth #healthylifestyle
Just talking with a friend yesterday trying to figure out why we keep feeling a dip in energy. She asked if I’m empathetic which means I can take on others' energy/problems and this could be a possibility why I’m dipping. But no, it's more personal than that. It’s me! It’s my problem solving- time management skills. I love to give until my cup is empty and this then leads to adrenals that drop, immune response weakening, and depression slipping in as I hit bottom. A cycle that needs to get reset. If only I’d listen to my advice. Rest! Recharge! Self care is so important to refill the cup /mind/ body. So I’ll be finding time during the day to disconnect from my phone and my people just to sit quietly to journal, pray or even shut my eyes for 20 mins. I will also make bedtime a priority and an important event in my body's recharge and long-term vitality. It’s just that SIMPLE…Rest does the mind and body good!!!!! Will you also make rest a priority? What will you put into action to make rest an event that matters? #sunflowers🌻 #restmattersforhealth #friendskeepyouaccountable

Happy Friday! Wishing you a very happy and restful weekend! ❤
🇪🇸: La mentalidad “sin días libres" puede ser más destructiva para nuestra salud y objetivos que cualquier otra. ⚠️Formamos parte de una cultura obsesionada con trabajar rápido y de forma eficiente, pero Incluso los mejores del mundo saben la importancia de los días de descanso y de dar al cuerpo el tiempo adecuado para recuperarse. Lo ideal es tomar entre 42 y 72 horas para que el cuerpo se repare de un entrenamiento y es durante esta fase de recuperación que el progreso realmente se lleva a cabo. 🚫Si ignoras los días de descanso y simplemente sigues entrenando, tu cuerpo se descompone, pueden producirse lesiones y puedes quemarte muy rápidamente. 🇺🇸:The "no days off or no rest" mentality can be very destructive for our body. ⚠️ We are part of a obsessed culture of working fast and efficiently, experts know the importance of rest days and giving the body adequate time to recover. Ideally, it should take between 42 to 72 hours for the body to repair itself from a workout and it is during this recovery phase that progress really takes place. 🚫If you ignore rest days and just keep training, your body breaks down, injuries can occur and you can burn out very quickly
I found this quote just a few days before my 'Self-care - a powerful tool to bring about social change' workshop last weekend. Slightly cheating by creating three self-care activities out of one post but I hope you'll forgive me! Day 11 - Find a powerful quote to inspire myself and others (i.e. during my workshop) Day 12 - Take time to talk to others about valuing rest (in conversation with friends yesterday over lunch) Day 13 - Rest (after the build up to the event last week, the event itself and the reflection afterwards) #powerfulquotes #socialchange #socialchangemakers #socialchangemakersnetwork #restmattersforhealth #talktoothersandmakeadifference
Are you struggling with quality of sleep? Did You Know Certain Foods Can Make You Sleepy? The good news is that not all foods are bad for bedtime. In fact, some are great for falling asleep. Foods containing tryptophan, serotonin or melatonin can help you unwind, feel calm, and sleep better. Here are my favorite nighttime superstars: Kiwi slices Tart cherries/tart cherry juice(frozen are amazing too) Almonds Milk Oatmeal Bananas Chamomile tea Passionflower tea Valerian root tea I'm serious. Eat a kiwi before bed for a week and let me know how it goes. #qualitysleep #restmattersforhealth #foodforthought #wholefoods #foodstips #loveyourbody #foodisfuel #hblcoaching #nutritioniskeytohealth #actionplan #eatsmart #youonlyhaveonebody #makeaplan #fruitsandveggies #grains #proteinshakes #saynotosugar #praisegod🙏 #eatclean #moveyourbodychangeyourmind #nomoreemotionaleating #godsway

My physio broke up with me after three months on Wednesday soooo I took action and got a guided ultrasound injection for my bursitis yesterday! The nurses told me I should take it easy for the next few days and no waving my hands in the air or gym work for the next week (this won’t be hard 😂🤣😂). Usually I feel guilty for taking time off work for ailments but not today, I just woke up so I really needed sleep and to take things easy so that is what I will do. Shoulder still feels terrible but pain killers help and I am looking forward to no pain in a couple of weeks as the steroids kick in 💪🦾💪 #healthmatters #restmattersforhealth
Do you have trouble sleeping 😴? . . . I'll admit sleep is always last on my mental wellness check list. For one, I've lived by the saying, "I'll sleep when I die💀." This limiting belief has cost me some good night 😴, but I believed that you had to hustle and grind until I met 2020. #shutdown . . . As a mother it's difficult to get to bed at exactly 10 or 11pm. I'm good to even get 5 hours of sleep before my son burst into the room ready to start his day 🤠. . . . I've watched YouTube videos and researched new ways to rebuild my evening routine 🌆. I know for my mental wellness, I need a good nights rest otherwise I'm useless in the morning, well at least until my ☕ kicks in. . . . I didn't want to rely on caffeine or B12 💉this year. Amazon recommended this book by @ariannahuff The Sleep Revolution. Let's explore this book together and find a new routine for 2021. . . With a better sleep routine we can look forward to better mental, emotional and physical health, which leads to increase energy, productivity, creativity and so much more. #restmattersforhealth #sleeplessintexas #blackmothersbelike #blackmothershealth #blackwomenhealthmatters #blackwomenheal #blackwellnessbloggers #mentalwellbeing #emotionalhealthmatters

Mental Fatigue is a thing 💦 Basically, it sends your brain into overdrive, leaving you exhausted, hampering your productivity and overall cognitive function. The most common symptoms include mental block, lack of motivation(ME RIGHT NOW!)irritability, stress eating or loss of appetite and insomnia. 💦 CBD may help lower feelings of isolation. It seems CBD can calm the brain and support the hippocampus, which is a brain area important for healthy emotion and memory 💦 It’s #selfcaresunday Take a long bath and boost your mood with some delish CBD fruit chews. This kit is a work in progress but we will have some mood boosting boxes up and running for 2021💫 🌸

If you get tired, learn to REST not to QUIT! Last week I had a massive migraine for a day& 1/2. And if you are like me, then you are always on the go checking off all the things on your checklist for that week, that day. Well I’m here to tell you that IT IS OKAY for you to REST when your body is telling you you need to slow it down. Rest is super important to our body and our mind. Maybe you don’t need physical rest but maybe you need some mental rest, take a step back babe and BREATHE. This was not easy for me to do because I keep a pretty decent routine daily, and get in my 30 minute workouts too. These two days I did try and give it my all but ended up having to press pause and lay back down bc the room started spinning. The next day I woke up NO MIGRAINE (praise) and was able to check off all the things 🙌 Just bc you need to rest your mind and your soul doesn’t mean that you are/ having to quit! LISTEN TO YOUR BODY | REST | &&& ʏᴏᴜ ᴡɪʟʟ sʟᴀʏ ʙᴀʙᴇ✨

Stressed due to lack of sleep? Or lack of sleep leading to stress? Try out a simple technique widely used in the military, to help you sleep amidst chaos. Studies show that it works for almost 96% of people after a practice of 6 weeks. So, fret not, if you don't see it working as soon as you start it. ➡️ Steps: 1. Get into a comfortable position. 2. Relax your face 3. Drop your shoulders 4. Let your legs go limp. 5. Clear your mind for 10 seconds. ( This might be the most challenging bit. Picturing one of the following three images can help: 🛶Lying in a canoe on a calm lake, nothing but blue sky above you. 🌑Snuggled in a black velvet hammock in a pitch-black room. 🙅♂️ Saying “don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” over and over for ten seconds. ( This one works best with me 😇) And that's it. When you have a fully relaxed body and a mind that's still for 10-plus seconds, you will fall asleep. 😴🛌💤 These weeks of practice are a worthwhile investment, because once you have it down, you can nap and sleep anywhere. #restforstress #sleepstressfree #letsbeatstress #goodsleephealthylife #restmattersforhealth #thegoodlifeprojects #thegoodlifeprojectsbynimisha #stressmanagementcoach #sleeptips #relaxedmindbettersleep #restfulsleep @monicakbundy #yogiclife #yogisofinstagram #yogaforstressmanagement #yogaeverydamnday #doyouyoga
