Thanksgiving is behind us, and the holiday season is officially here. The world is buzzing with all the things we should be doing—decorating, shopping, hosting, planning.
But over here at A Beautiful Fix, we’re slowing things down. We’re Team Rest.
That’s right. Rest.
Rest isn’t just about relaxing on the couch or scrolling through your phone. It’s deeper than that. True rest is intentional—it’s a pause with purpose. It’s stepping away from the noise of life to recharge your mind, body, and soul.
Here’s what it could look like:
- For 3 minutes: Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and let yourself fully exhale. Even a few moments can create space in your day.
- For an hour: Unplug completely. Set aside your phone, grab a cozy blanket, and let your mind wander or simply rest.
- For a day: Clear your schedule, cancel the to-dos, and give yourself permission to do nothing.
- For a weekend: Imagine a retreat dedicated entirely to rest—a sacred space to restore, reflect, and recharge.
Rest isn’t indulgent; it’s essential. It’s how we refill our cups, reconnect with ourselves, and show up fully for the life we’re building.
Your beautiful shift this week
Ask yourself: When was the last time I truly rested? Then, carve out just a little time—3 minutes, an hour, or more—and gift yourself the rest you deserve.
With calm and care,
xoxo Tracy
