1
When was the last time that you felt fully, fully, deeply rested?
2
According to research done by Garmin, nearly 70 % of their users had either fair or poor sleep scores.
3
So it's no surprise that we end up constantly feeling depleted or on the brink of burnout, looped into these vicious cycles of toxic productivity or hustle culture.
4
And as someone who's survived this hustle culture and come back from the brink of burnout, I've learned that you can genuinely do almost everything restfully,
5
including work, and move through your day with ease and enjoyment.

8
In this video I'll be going through three toxic beliefs about rest
9
and productivity that I've had to unlearn
10
and I'll share exactly how I've learned to reframe
11
and reclaim them to actually be able to relax and regulate my nervous system.
12
So without further ado let's dive right in.
13
The first belief I've had to unlearn is that rest is unproductive
14
and I only deserve it after I work my butt off.
15
This was a limiting belief that I was very rudely during my pregnancy and postpartum.
16
About a year ago, I had a baby, and during especially the last stages of pregnancy and then the few months postpartum, I was just so exhausted.
17
But one thing I noticed is that I kept fighting against myself, I kept telling myself in my mind, oh, like I should get up and do something productive,
18
or basically do anything other than just rest.
19
And it wasn't until both my husband and my mum pointed out, why do you feel like you need to be working?
20
You've literally just had a baby.
21
Your job is to rest right now and to recover.
22
interesting.
23
And so I did some journaling and thinking about it and I realized that underneath this drive to constantly be productive, to be working, to be not resting,
24
is this judgment that oh actually resting is not being productive.
25
Something that you just do in order to then be productive.
26
And I actually realized that this is rooted in deeply ingrained capitalist values where we are taught from a young age.
27
We need to study hard, we need to get good grades, go to uni, get a then we can be happy.
28
And this mindset is very helpful for a capitalist society
29
because it encourages all the members of society to push themselves to generate more and more economic output.
30
With this underlying toxic belief of, oh, the more that I work, the more useful I am, and the more useful I am, then the more value I have,
31
and then I can actually be safe and loved and cared for if I'm valuable.
32
The problem with this mindset is that it prioritizes productive reward.
33
But if you're a bit like me and work gets super busy sometimes, often rest gets pushed back because our to -do lists never seem to end
34
and kind of keep extending and we keep adding more things to our plate
35
and so then we never really make that time to really enjoy our lives.
36
And so during these later stages of pregnancy and early postpartum when I wasn't really able to do much work, I often had a narrative in my mind that I was being lazy and useless just laying about.
37
But then I also realized that I have loaded the word useless with a negative value judgment.
38
If you look around in there are a lot of things that don't have a clear use, and that they're not being used by somebody.
39
Additionally, let's just take the example of my baby.
40
She is arguably somewhat useless in that she needs so much help from all of us, she doesn't produce any economic output right now,
41
she mostly sleeps and eats and plays and walks around and cries and basically does that on repeat every single day.
42
In eastern philosophy there's something known as the parable of the crooked tree which is famously attributed to the Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi,
43
and this is one of my favorite parables because it really highlights this whole thing of useful
44
and his apprentice are looking for trees for wood in order to be able to carve things from.
45
And they come across this massive ancient oak tree with branches
46
so crooked and twisted that no straight planks of wood could possibly be cut from it.
47
The apprentice is amazed by the tree, but the master carpenter doesn't even give this crooked tree a second glance and walks right past it.
48
And when the apprentice asks, "Oh, what about this tree?" the master carpenter calls it useless and worthless.
49
The tree explains that it's precisely because society doesn't find it useful
50
that it has gotten the chance to grow this large and majestic and old.
51
Because all the other useful trees that grew straight
52
and had useful wood end up being chopped down and turned into useful things.
53
hold these capitalist values, which I haven't necessarily actively chosen for myself.
54
If I tried to be useful all the time, what would that get me?
55
That would get me burned out, miserable, exhausted, and living a totally unbalanced life.
56
And so then when I look at my baby or myself, and I notice, oh, right now we are actually not being useful in any way.
57
We're not trying to be useful.
58
Rest is actually one of the highest ROI to return on investment things that you can possibly things with your life.
59
In her best -selling book Sacred Rest, Dr. Sondra Dalton -Smith talks about seven types of rest.
60
First category is physical rest, so this includes passive, such as sleeping or napping, but also active, like yoga or stretching.
61
The second category is mental rest, so this is taking breaks, slowing down, mindfulness, rest for your brain, essentially, and this will mean switching off from social media.
62
The third type is sensory rest, which is resting your senses, reducing your sensory inputs, avoiding overstimulation, maybe going without music or no podcast,
63
or not watching TV or not watching something on your screen all the time.
64
The fourth type is creative rest which is reawakening a sense of awe
65
and wonder and inspiration and passion and this might be in the form of art or nature.
66
The fifth type is emotional rest which is time and space to really express your feelings, being authentic and honest.
67
The sixth type is social rest so spending less time on exhausting relationships
68
and more time with supportive people who actually leave you love,
69
acceptance, and purpose may be found in prayer, meditation, community, and connection.
70
And I've started actively incorporating elements from each of these seven into my own life.
71
If you'd like to do the same, I've actually created a completely free resource pack with a bunch
72
of ideas for ways to rest in each of these seven subtypes.
73
So if you'd like to check it out, I've popped a link in the description down below.
74
One common objection to resting is, "Oh, what if I don't have time to rest?
75
I don't have time to meditate for 20 minutes, or like, once said this to me, you should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day unless you're too busy.
76
Then you should sit for an hour.
77
One thing that I personally struggled with in the last couple of months was work spilling out into rest time.
78
So work spilling into evenings, into early mornings, spilling into weekends, spilling into family time.
79
But I've learned that rest needs to be viewed as sacred, protected time that cannot be impinged on by work.
80
And actually a lot of religions do this, helps you to actually build a sustainable life rhythm.
81
The second limiting belief is that I cannot possibly be ambitious while also being relaxed and rested.
82
Because for a long time my brain and body learned to tie ambition and working hard with feeling stressed and tense.
83
And it almost became a thing where if I wasn't feeling stressed I'd think oh maybe I'm not working hard enough.
84
So let's go through a little bit of neurobiology first.
85
Our nervous systems are divided into two main parts: the sympathetic part and the parasympathetic part.
86
light response.
87
So heart rate goes up, adrenaline and cortisol go up, and you breathe faster, because all of these mean
88
that the body is ready to either attack or run away when it comes across a threat.
89
Then you have the parasympathetic nervous system, which is in charge generally of resting and digesting, because it activates when there are no threats and we're actually free to relax and rest.
90
The problem is that for a lot of us, our brains keep perceiving daily stresses as a bit threatening, and so we often get locked into a sympathetic activation.
91
There was a book that I read in
92
medical school called Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Dr. Sapolsky
93
and he talks about how whenever zebras encounter let's say a lion
94
or a predator in the savannah they experience a lot of stress
95
and their sympathetic nervous system kicks in there in fight or flight or mostly just flight.
96
Very soon after when the threat is gone, when the lion has been left behind or heads off somewhere else, the zebras will almost immediately calm right back down again
97
and he wrote that this is often because we create mental stress for ourselves.
98
The zebras they're not constantly that's gonna show up tomorrow, so then I need to think about what I'm gonna do when the lion comes.
99
But we as humans often do, and we often borrow worry from the future.
100
We borrow fear and stress from the future and bring it into every single present moment.
101
And so here were a couple of shifts that really helped me.
102
One thing is just a reminder to myself that
103
if something is already beyond my control or the ball is not in my court, to not worry about it.
104
For example, let's say if I've put in an offer on something and I'm waiting to hear back, actually taking it off my mental plate for a while.
105
A quote from the Relaxed Woman, which I love, is, there's nothing you can do right as well relax.
106
Another thing that really helps me is my journal and
107
so actually I keep my journal right next to my bed
108
and before bed I will often brain dump to close any of my open tabs
109
if something comes up while I'm trying to sleep at night.
110
Instead of just thinking oh like I will worry about
111
that tomorrow but then my brain's still kind of keeping it as an open tab
112
because it's like oh I don't want to forget about this.
113
My journal is right there so I just open it straight away
114
and I write down the thing that I was thinking about
115
and I just tell myself I'm gonna see this tomorrow
116
when I wake up so I can totally let go of it right now.
117
And this is related to something called the
118
open loops and open tabs keep our brain activated and thinking about it until we have closed that loop.
119
And so then in as many areas as possible in my life, trying to close loops, close open tabs, to be able to ease that mental load.
120
When I was juggling all these different areas of my life at once, even the smallest tasks like sending messages or quick updates to the team started to add stress onto the plate.
121
And that's where Whisperflow came in handy, and they're very kindly sponsoring today's video.
122
Whisperflow is a voice -to -text tool that works across every app that you already use, Slack on both Mac and Windows.
123
I've been using it for the last couple of months on my Mac
124
and it's completely changed how I get thoughts out of my head and onto the screen.
125
If you've ever tried to type the speed of thinking, you'll realize actually there's a big slowdown between your brain and your fingers.
126
And so here, let me actually show you.
127
I'm going to message my YouTube producer right now.
128
And so I simply start recording by pressing the FN key.
129
Hey, callers, just checking in on the outline for our next video.
130
The nervous system one, did you?
131
Actually, Wait, before that, did you manage to find the Sapolsky book on zebras?
132
Um, I want to make sure that we're including that one in the video.
133
Oh, and let's push the editing deadline to Thursday morning, not Wednesday like we said.
134
Thanks!
135
So as you can see, Whisperflow did a pretty neat job of cleaning up every um and ah, it handled the mid -sentence correction without me having to start over,
136
and it even spelled "Cawless" and "Sapolsky" correctly.
137
And this is a big level up over what standard native voice dictation does, because trust me, I've tried it and it would have butchered the names
138
and left all of the filler words and corrections in.
139
If you want to check out Whisperflow, there's a link in my description and a code that gets you one month of Whisperflow Pro for free.
140
So now let's get back and relaxation, and especially in the context of being a mum.
141
Because if you're an ambitious woman, and also a mum, in the daytime you're doing your work, in the mornings and evenings and weekends you're spending time with your baby,
142
there isn't very much time to actually have you time.
143
People often talk about doing it all, but I really don't believe that anybody can actually do it all, unless you redefine what your all actually is.
144
And so that's something that I've been actively doing over the last year or so, is figuring out, okay, what actually are the priorities, and what are my in terms of how I'm spending my time and how I'm feeling.
145
And I've realized that I don't want to be rushing through life, I want to be an unhurried woman, I want to be a relaxed woman and feel rested every day.
146
And there's a question I like to ask myself these days, of how can I be just 5 % more relaxed in this moment right now?
147
There's almost always a way that you can make it slightly more restful if you just ask yourself that question.
148
The third limiting belief is I am weak and useless if I can't check and follow up on everything myself.
149
is something that is put on a bit of a pedestal, seen as something to be aspired to.
150
And to a certain extent I do agree, because it's actually amazing that we're living through one of the most liberating generations that have ever happened for women.
151
At the same time, we as humans are fundamentally social beings, and we evolved in tribes of multiple families, where people really depended on each other for support and survival.
152
Recently on a flight, I was re -watching one of my favourite movies ever, which is Everything Everywhere All At Once, and in one scene, Evelyn, the main character, was talking to Chad, who's a chef, and Chad was saying to her,
153
"Evelyn, I'm useless alone." To which Evelyn responds, "We're all useless alone.
154
It's a good thing you're not alone." There's often a voice in my own head which says, "Oh, if I need to reach out for help, then that means that I'm weak, and I'm being a burden on them,
155
and I'm annoying them if I don't sort everything out myself."
156
But we literally evolved to be in a village and to be in a support network with so many other people.
157
For example, I think I'm using a lot of motherhood examples here, that actually doesn't make me weak,
158
that just makes me human.
159
And this also applies in terms of hiring and delegation.
160
When the channel or the business was smaller, it was easy to say, oh, like, I just do everything myself.
161
If I want it to be done well, then I do it myself.
162
But now at increasing levels of scale, you actually have to delegate.
163
Otherwise, you're going to literally go crazy with stress and too much on your plate.
164
And so I've learned that it's actually a progressive game of learning to buy back more
165
and more of your time in order to be able to actually scale and a life.
166
And so those were the three limiting beliefs that I've chosen to unlearn and reclaim for myself around rest.
167
Now it's all good and well watching videos like this and feeling inspired, but the most important thing is to actually take action.
168
So I'd like to invite you to choose two action points
169
that you're taking away from this video that you're going to put into practice starting today.
170
And to make sure they stick, I'd like you to write them down somewhere.
171
Maybe that's your journal, your notes app, an email, a friend, in the comments down below, wherever.
172
If you're stuck on ideas, here are two options.
173
Firstly, choose one limiting belief on rest that you might now, maybe one of the three from this video, and sit with it to rewrite and then reclaim it.
174
And the second one is to pick one of the seven categories of rest
175
and try a single practice from it for the next seven days as a tiny experiment.
176
The totally free guide that I've made, which is linked down below, will help if you're not sure where to start.
177
If you like this video, I think you'll like this one over here, where I walk you through how to romanticize your evenings after work.
178
As always, thank you so much for watching, take care of yourself, and remember that the journey is the destination.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
