    Podcast Summary

    • Embrace the power of doing nothing for self-careScheduling rest time is a productive choice for self-care, leading to better well-being and care for others.

      Taking time for self-care and rest is not a sign of laziness or unproductivity, but rather an essential act of self-love and care for others. Kate Cocker shared her friend's struggle with feeling guilty for taking time for herself, leading to exhaustion and mindless scrolling through social media instead. Instead, we should intentionally schedule rest time into our days and view it as a productive choice, allowing us to recharge and better care for those around us. As Kate reminds us, "Choosing to sit and do nothing is choosing something," and self-care is crucial for maintaining positivity and well-being. So, let's embrace the power of doing nothing and trust ourselves to make time for self-care. Remember, you're not letting anyone down by taking care of yourself; instead, you're ensuring that you're at your best to support those around you.

    Warning: some people might find this podcast seriously restful.

    If that sounds appealing, it should do, because rest is something we all need to prioritise. So says this week’s guest, Claudia Hammond, who argues that being busy isn’t a badge of honour – and taking time out is definitely not lazy. We examine the science behind our struggles to relax and she shares some brilliant insights on our attitudes to downtime, the top 10 activities most likely to help us switch off, and what the benefits are for our health, wellbeing and productivity.

    If you need a reminder of why rest is so important – and permission to do it, without feeling guilty – this is it. So put your feet up (or head out for a walk, if you find that more restful), and listen in.
