There is a kind of exhaustion that does not show up on the outside. You are still functioning. Still leading. Still showing up for work and family. But internally, something feels off.

Shame can creep in and say that this is just laziness. But it is actually depletion. And what you need is not another productivity strategy. You need rest.

Mindfulness has a way of slowing us down and bringing us into the present. Our to-do lists, anxieties, and traumas tend to toss us between the past and the future. We forget here we are right now in this moment, living breathing expressions of beloved creation.
