Self-Care Saturday: It's About Time 6/7

🔄 Self-Care Saturday: Strategic Rejuvenation on The Suite Spot Podcast! 🎙️ 💆‍♂️

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." - Anne Lamott

After a week of making moves, taking action, winning races, and finishing strong, we've reached the most revolutionary concept in our time journey—the power of deliberate rest.

This week, we're reframing self-care as "strategic rejuvenation"—because in a world that glorifies busy, pausing isn't a weakness. It's wisdom.

⚡  SUITE SPOTS: The Restoration Revolution Framework:

1️⃣ Neurological Necessity — Your suprachiasmatic nucleus (brain's timekeeper) requires rest cycles. REM sleep processes information, reduces stress, and enhances creativity. This isn't luxury—it's neuroscience.

2️⃣ Physical Imperative — Just as athletes need recovery between performances, your body needs strategic downtime. Without it, blood pressure rises, immune function diminishes, and your body will eventually force you to rest through illness.

3️⃣ Energy Protection Protocol — Identify your reset buttons (meditation, walking, reading, prayer) and schedule them with the same priority as your most important meetings.

🧠 Why we resist rest: Society equates busyness with importance, movement with progress, and stillness with wasted time. 

But nature teaches otherwise—everything cycles between activity and rest. Even in creation, there was a day set aside for renewal.

Today's Challenge: Schedule a non-negotiable 15-minute rejuvenation period today. During this time, activate your vagus nerve (the body's relaxation pathway) through deep breathing, meditation, or complete disconnection from technology.

Remember: "Burnout isn't a badge of honor—it's ignoring warning signs that will eventually catch up with you."
