#14 on Rest
It's time to cozy up in your jammies for this one because our third to last theme *of the Self Study Program* is rest.
Bet you didn't think rest was coming did ya?! We tell this story in this episode: in the 2020 Self Study Program, the participants were guessing what theme would come next, and one woman guessed "accountability!" When she found out it was rest, the RELIEF that she felt really made us laugh. Accountability is a great theme! But it's not one of the 9 core themes of the Self Study Program because accountability is built into the Self Study Program on every level: first of all, it's up to you to show up and do the exercises and practices. And, "accountability is also built into having a sense of your own self. You keep yourself accountable. Accountability isn't like an external force. You keep yourself accountable because once you start to get in touch with who you are and what you need, the only other thing other than accountability is self-betrayal."
So... Welcome to rest. Get into your jammies, and get out a pen and paper for this one because those stories that are swirling around in your head need a place to live. And it's on paper, not in your life.
