<p>Hey Brave Table fam! Today, we’re diving into a topic so many of us wrestle with — rest! Why is it that we feel guilty when we take time for ourselves? Why does resting sometimes make us feel lazy or unproductive? Growing up in a household where rest was synonymous with "not enough," I get it. In this episode, I share my personal journey with redefining rest, unpacking those old narratives, and learning to truly savor the slow. I also reflect on insights from Dr. Avanti Singh, who reminds us of the dangers of constantly "pushing" — especially around the holidays when the pressure to "do it all" can feel overwhelming. So let's get comfortable, release the guilt, and step into a mindset where rest is not just okay — it’s necessary. Let’s explore this together and make peace with rest as part of our growth.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What you'll get out of this episode…</strong> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Rest is an essential part of productivity, creativity, and well-being.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Learning to Let Go</p> <p><br></p> <p>Savor the Slow</p> <p><br></p> <p>Rest creates space for miracles and unexpected opportunities</p> <p><br></p> <p>Simple rituals remind us to slow down and embrace the present</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>[00:00:00] - Intro to the Brave Table</p> <p>[00:04:00] - Personal story: Family, rest, and health challenges</p> <p>[00:10:00] - Can we savor the slow and embrace boredom?</p> <p>[00:16:00] - The power of letting go and manifesting through rest</p> <p>[00:19:00] - Reframing rest with the “That Sucked, Now What?” Affirmation Deck</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to [email protected] 😘</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Follow along for more tips, community, and resources to brave a better you!</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>IG / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neetabhushan/?hl=en" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neetabhushan</a> </p> <p>IG / <a href="http://www.instagram.com/thebravetable" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thebravetable </a></p> <p>TIKTOK / <a href="http://www.tiktok.com/neeta.bhushan" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neeta.bhushan</a></p> <p>WEB / <a href="https://neetabhushan.com/10-day-emotional-reset" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://neetabhushan.com</a></p> <p>YOUTUBE / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NeetaBhushanOfficial" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NeetaBhushanOfficial</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Want more?</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Visit the website and order your free copy of “That Sucked, Now What?” ( just pay for shipping)  → <a href="http://neetabhushan.com/free-book-bonus/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">neetabhushan.com/free-book-bonus/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Grab your Affirmation/ Conversation Card deck here → <a href="https://thatsuckednowwhat.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thatsuckednowwhat.com/</a> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Take just 2 minutes and find what YOUR emotional type is by taking  my FREE quiz here →  <a href="http://theemotionalreset.com/quiz" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">theemotionalreset.com/quiz</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>For a weekly dose of my hacks, tools, & tips to emotionally reset, join my newsletter here → <a href="http://yourweeklyreset.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">yourweeklyreset.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>If you loved this episode, check out…</strong><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Ep.#196: The Secrets to Stepping Into Your Soft Girl Era Revealed with Simran Handa  (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/196-the-secrets-to-stepping-into-your-soft-girl-era/id1608226580?i=1000644229991" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1yfDIrD6WNMd8LPqxm7n8N?si=G3fSRuEeSm25M-dXWxfT4g" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://youtu.be/5PpHeKNHkpA?si=BUckbCfL_91IhFaS" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Ep.#221: How to Calm Your Nervous System During Chaotic Moments with Dr. Navaz Habib  (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/221-how-to-calm-your-nervous-system-during-chaotic/id1608226580?i=1000654158293" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple</a> | <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/global-grit-media/episodes/221-How-to-Calm-Your-Nervous-System-During-Chaotic-Moments-with-Dr--Navaz-Habib-e2j3mlv" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://youtu.be/Oe7KaEByNLY?si=r1hF3QF16vuaSeUC" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Ep.#230: Why It’s NOT Selfish to Take Care of Your Mental Health with Karishma Patel (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/230-why-its-not-selfish-to-take-care-of-your-mental/id16082265
