Beyond the Shuffle: Episode 5 - Resting or Avoiding?

LISTEN

SHOW NOTES

Have you ever told yourself you were resting or taking a break, but it didn’t feel quite… right?

 

We talked about rest a few episodes ago in The Art of Just Hanging, but today I want to dive into the idea that sometimes, what we say is resting, is actually an act of avoidance.

 

  • What is avoidance?
  • Avoidance vs Rest
  • How it shows up in our lives, and why it’s such an important thing to bring awareness to
  • Cards that show up to represent the act of avoidance (and what they encourage us to do instead)
