As a gymnast, I was conditioned to believe that I always needed to be productive and working hard. Even now, resting can feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I catch myself feeling anxious because it feels like I should be doing more. It’s a habit I’m actively working to break. It isn’t easy, but it gets a little easier every time I choose to see rest as something productive and necessary. Instead of mindlessly scrolling on my phone and feeling guilty afterward, I’ll read, take a nap, go on a walk, or do a craft. And yes, I still scroll on my phone. But the difference is that I do it intentionally and let myself enjoy it instead of spending the whole time feeling bad about it. I’m still learning this too. So this week, I want to encourage you to be intentional with your rest. Rest isn’t taking you away from your goals. It is helping you get there❤️ #fyp #gymnastics #mindset #mindsetcoaching
