In this episode, I delve into the challenging balance between 'doing' and 'being'.

I discuss our cultural obsession with productivity and how it even extends to our self-care practices, creating a tension between implementing health routines and simply being present.

Sharing some personal anecdotes and reflections, I emphasize the importance of rest and the need to cultivate more moments of doing nothing, as well as the benefits of practices such as yoga nidra to rejuvenate the nervous system.

I also explore how modern distractions, like smartphones, can impede true rest, and suggest ways to build more mindful awareness in everyday routines.
