Let's get the conversation going about how we can move at a more natural, less busy pace so we can have beautiful, calm and abundant lives. I'm your host Kim Stark and I'll be talking about how to deal with the fears and feelings that come up around slowing down, learning how to follow your intuition rather than your mind’s to do list, money mindset for thriving, knowing when to take aligned action versus unnecessary efforting, the difference between resting and procrastination and heaps more.
Do I need rest or am I in resistance to taking action?
Hello friends I'm back after a break to talk about how to tell the difference between needing rest (and giving ourselves full guilt-free permission to do so!) or are you experiencing fatigue because you're avoiding something you know you should be doing... I give some handy hints to tell which one you might be experiencing and some tips to work through it. I also talk about what's been happening with me over the last few months and a few more learnings on going through a really quiet void period of stillness!
