## Resource

In a fast-paced world, true rest can be really hard to find. Sometimes, we may think we’re resting when we actually aren’t. A great example is scrolling on your phone while watching Netflix. This keeps your brain wired and alert - the opposite of winding down. In today’s episode, you are going to assess why rest may be evading you and any behaviors you have that feel restful, but really aren’t nourishing you at all. Tune in to begin.
