In this episode I talk about the concept of "Active Mental Rest". It is something we often hear when it comes to exercise, the idea of resting after growing and stretching our muscles but we less often apply that to our productivity as well. I talk about what it is, why we need it and ways you can include it in your own life. I also recommend a few books and apps that I like: - Burnout: The Secret To Unlocking The Stress Cycle - Smiling Mind Meditation App - Breath App You can download the free PDF Daily Reflection and Journal that I talk about in this episode at the Gather Goods Co website here: https://www.community.gathergoodsco.com/resources/ --- Gather Goods Co is an intentional gathering space encouraging community, conversation, design & discovery.
