What does it mean to take an intentional break? When is it quitting? When it is hitting pause? Why do we feel shame when it’s time to get started again? How do we know when we’re ready to start again? When is it “rest” and when is it “laziness?” Is “lazy” a real thing? (Hint: no, it's not.) This week we're talking about how to get yourself going again after stepping back- intentionally or not! There doesn't need to be shame about not being productive, and we're sharing our own experiences and tips as the podcast comes back from its own little pause!

Topics this week include:

• Strength training
• The plural of octopus
• Spring Equinox energy and all the spring cleaning vibes
• Gardening and how 2 hours of pulling weeds can bring up all the metaphors for life
• Punxsutawney Phil and earthworms as icons of rest
• Rest as resistance
• Taking money out of the definition of success
• Celebrity Fit Club and Bobby Brown
• On ramps to motivation
• Doing "the thing before the thing."

This weeks challenge: Define your April goals, and then identify the thing BEFORE that thing. Write it down, bring a friend in, or email to us so we can share.
