Excellent points Jill, and very well worded. Also timely for me, as I, too, struggle with transferring my work-work habits to my creative-work world. I am looking at my relationship with my (perimeno-changing) body right now, hoping to create a better foundation of trust and appreciation. There's a lot going on! PS: I will take every opportunity I can to take a wee break and give my fur baby a cuddle! :)
I hadn't either! I naturally gravitated toward the idea because I really have to pace myself to manage my health, but then I found the teachings to back up the idea and I thought WHY AREN'T WE ALL TAUGHT THIS?! In general, we'd all be so much better off if we knew how to tend our nervous systems.

Thank you for these words! Resting is loving ourselves and a way to tend to our creative practice <3
Ahhh, reading this was like a cup of tea in the afternoon when the sun is shining. By which I mean, just right.
I'm glad! :)
Wonderful. The flow-hangover is familiar to me. I seem to work in flow or not at all. Never thought of limiting it before.

I haven't been in a flow state for a while, so all I can say is... must be nice 😅.
And especially nice when paired with rest! You'll get there. I know it.
