The 7 Ways to Relax this Summer are also the ways we can learn to bring more rest into our lives. We have seven areas that influence our energy and each needs care as we learn to release, relax, and rest. Our society is infused with stories that pull us away from our humanity, which includes devaluing rest. Part of the process of truly relaxing is recognizing the stories we’ve internalized that keep us from relaxing. This allows us to see the systems that feed us these stories more clearly. Another part is forgiving ourselves, not because it’s our fault, but because beating ourselves up is another way we’ve been conditioned to dehumanize ourselves.
In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I explore 7 ways to relax this summer that support healing beyond the vacation.
Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:

• The pressures of perfectionism & productivity
• Releasing the lie of lazy
• Embracing a growth mindset
• Learning and forgiving yourself
• 7 ways to make space to relax
