171. How to Stop Feeling Guilty For Resting | 5 Min Journal Prompts

Exhausted but still organizing drawers at 10pm? Staying up for "one more episode" when you should sleep? This isn't about discipline - it's about the hidden beliefs keeping you from resting.

This 8-minute strategic journaling session reveals why you can't give yourself permission to rest, even when your body is begging for it. We'll uncover the hidden beliefs keeping you running on empty and give you four powerful prompts to shift your relationship with rest.

You'll get to know;

• Why "I'll sleep when the kids are older" is actually fear in disguise
• The real reason you feel guilty sitting still when there's stuff to be done
• What you're really afraid it means about you if you rest
• How to stop believing rest has to be "earned" through exhaustion

Strategic Journaling Prompts:

1. What thoughts go through your head when you try to rest but there are still things to be done?
2. Who in your life would judge you for resting? What would they say or think?
3. What do you believe you have to accomplish before you're "allowed" to rest?
4. What would change if you believed rest was productive, not lazy?

Perfect for the mom who works through lunch breaks, volunteers for one more committee, and checks emails on vacation. Your worth isn't measured by your productivity.
