Incorporating REST and PLAY w/ Sadie

Today we are chatting with Sadie from This Curious Life Coaching! She specializes in working with women to help them get back to what they want more of in life, without burning out.

So often  people say they want to achieve "balance" but is that even possible? Sadie talks about how there will be different seasons of life and rather than searching for balance, we should seek harmony.

Harmony is tuning into what feels right for you and what you want. There are practical things that we need to do as adults, but the key is to weave in the various types of play into our life.

Types of Play:

1. Movement - moving your body in ways that feel good
2. Object Play - Manipulation of objects (puzzles, baking a cake, etc.)
3. Imaginative Play - anything that uses your imagination
4. Social - shared activates (sports games, etc.)
5. Ritualistic Play - creating your own rituals
6. Story Telling - creating or reading stories
7. Innovation - Using your imagination

I challenge you to really think about how you can incorporate these into your life, even for just a few minutes a day. Sadie reminds us that the inner work isn't easy but we are so worth it!

Notice what comes up when we are operating on auto pilot and get curious about where it it's coming from. We tend to lean into who others say we are and forget who WE know we are. Everyone processes things differently so finding what works for you is important when recognizing your individual auto pilot.

If you're wanting to work on this you should really look at where you're currently spending your time. There might be pockets where you can be really intentional and reclaim your time. And remember to be compassionate towards yourself as you are working through this.

If you are ready to grow and evolve, you need to be prepared for the work it's going to take. Which fight do you want to put your energy into? You need to be willing to create the space and allow space for receiving.

And as we embark on this, Sadie reminds us to always smoother ourselves in self compassion!
