Want to Achieve More? Then STOP. This One Shift Will Change Everything.
I need you to hear this: You do not have to grind your way to greatness. In fact, the secret to unlocking your best ideas—the ones that we NEED right now, that will change our careers, our lives, the fate of our collective future—is NOT pushing harder. It’s rest.
Yeah, I know. We’ve been trained to believe that success comes from doing more. From waking up earlier, working later, optimizing every second of our day. But here’s the truth: Your brain needs space to think, to create, to innovate.
And I’m not talking about wellness. Or yoga. Or a rigorously disciplined mindfulness practice. Those things are great, sure, and they may lead to rest…or they may become yet another item on a list of to-do’s that never gets fully checked off.
This week on Hello Monday, I get into this with Octavia Raheem. Her new book is Rest Is Sacred. Octavia’s on a mission to change the way we think about productivity. And what she shares is a total game-changer.
At the end of this episode, Octavia leads a simple, powerful rest exercise that will shift your energy in minutes. So if you’re listening while driving or multitasking, promise me this—when we get to that part, pull over, close the laptop, put down the phone, and actually DO it.
