Thank you.
00:01:37.292 --> 00:01:39.451
Thank you so much for having me, Wendy.
00:01:40.111 --> 00:01:57.962
I'm excited because as I've done this show, we keep talking about all types of self-care and I say it's from the practical to the woo, and today we're talking about resting and what that means because especially for female entrepreneurs, we can feel like.
00:01:59.001 --> 00:02:00.772
We go 24 7.
00:02:00.772 --> 00:02:01.581
Funny little thing.
00:02:01.581 --> 00:02:06.621
I actually had a pajama day by accident the other day and I was like, I didn't have to go out today.
00:02:06.652 --> 00:02:07.221
You should have seen.
00:02:07.227 --> 00:02:08.722
It was like the the best day ever.
00:02:08.722 --> 00:02:10.431
I was like, I have nowhere to be.
00:02:10.731 --> 00:02:14.722
No client just happened that way and I was like, I couldn't have planned this better.
00:02:14.727 --> 00:02:16.132
It was great to be in my pajamas all day.
00:02:16.137 --> 00:02:21.283
It's rare that it happens, but I love it because I think that we all need that depressurized day.
00:02:22.241 --> 00:02:25.872
So I wanna ask you, what does rest mean to you?
00:02:25.872 --> 00:02:29.132
So resting is so important for our self-care.
00:02:29.137 --> 00:02:36.912
And rest for me reminds me of the word respite, which is to take a break, to pull back from something that you don't want to do.
00:02:37.271 --> 00:02:41.782
And in Spanish, the word, respite is respiro which is too breathe.
00:02:42.762 --> 00:02:48.236
So to me, rest is to take a breath, a fresh breath and release.
00:02:48.537 --> 00:02:54.296
And that's the most minimum thing that we can give to our bodies, is to breathe, to give ourself that break.
00:02:54.926 --> 00:02:58.856
And I bring that up because I've noticed how we go about life.
00:02:58.856 --> 00:03:00.806
And some people don't breathe.
00:03:01.497 --> 00:03:05.516
They just wake up in the morning and they just go, go, go, go, go, and then just go to sleep.
00:03:05.516 --> 00:03:09.176
And it's this cycle and just giving yourself that.
00:03:10.317 --> 00:03:17.847
In the morning, the evening, just take a couple of deep breaths, can help you, your brain, your spirit, your everything just maximized.
00:03:17.847 --> 00:03:20.067
So that's what rest means to me to breathe.
00:03:20.387 --> 00:03:29.937
And it's so interesting because, I read somewhere, don't quote me, where that if humans were responsible for our own breathing, we wouldn't do it.
00:03:30.026 --> 00:03:31.187
It's like we forget to.
00:03:31.736 --> 00:03:35.697
Because we're so busy in our head, in our minds with all the things that we gotta do during the day.
00:03:36.766 --> 00:03:43.262
And even for myself, working out I have to remind myself, okay, breathe through this.
00:03:43.262 --> 00:03:45.435
You don't have to hold your breath the whole time.
00:03:45.435 --> 00:03:50.258
Going through anything That's anxiety written, I'm like, okay, take a breath.
00:03:50.318 --> 00:03:52.204
Before you start, take that deep breath.
00:03:52.503 --> 00:04:03.860
So when we're talking about breathing and that we're so busy, where do you find that those situations where people forget to rest, especially in entrepreneurship but where do people forget to rest?
00:04:04.170 --> 00:04:08.850
When we are initially starting, entrepreneurship becomes like our whole life.
00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:18.490
Nobody tells you that doing or being an entrepreneur, it's going to be one of the like more time consuming tasks in your life, more so than if you had a nine to five.
00:04:18.850 --> 00:04:20.985
So in the beginning, we just dive right in.
00:04:21.386 --> 00:04:26.440
And some of us hyper focus, and that's where we lose sight of that balance.
00:04:26.901 --> 00:04:33.350
So for me, it was so clear because my work ethic came from my family.
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:43.341
We migrated from Columbia 20 plus years ago, and we would go on 10, 12, 14 hour days and it was almost a validating system.
00:04:43.370 --> 00:04:48.201
The more you work, the more you bring value to you, to your family, to your business.
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:56.221
And so in my entrepreneurial, journey, I had to relearn that and I had to relearn to say, no, I don't have to earn my rest.
00:04:56.670 --> 00:04:58.350
I am worthy of rest.
00:04:58.411 --> 00:05:01.651
I can give my body rest and I give myself permission to rest.
00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:11.821
Because when people don't realize it, that when we rest, it may be us come and we flow and we feel recharged and we feel excited about our business again.
00:05:12.841 --> 00:05:20.040
My listeners can't see me, but I do not look at, but my family's Puerto Rican, and as you're talking, I'm like, oh, you're bringing up my whole childhood.
00:05:21.930 --> 00:05:22.261
Yes.
00:05:22.266 --> 00:05:26.790
Many of us first generation or immigrants experience that.
00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:29.911
I've had talked about it with other people on the show.
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:38.341
When you come from this idea, even though we, I came from entrepreneurs, which is really quite incredible.
00:05:39.571 --> 00:05:45.680
That my grandmother came from Puerto Rico and started her own businesses which I thought was groundbreaking.
00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:59.810
But that idea, I'd like how you said that, that idea of validation, that idea of if you don't do it this way, it's not the right way and you're not earning, or you're not as respected and that alone.
00:06:00.170 --> 00:06:06.980
If you come from a background of that, the mind shift it takes to work through that.
00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:16.100
So talk to me about how that happened for you, because I know for me, I'm still uncovering layers of what that looks like for me.
00:06:16.341 --> 00:06:17.471
Yes, definitely.
00:06:17.630 --> 00:06:40.526
So around 2021, I came across human design and based on my energy type, I was able to realize then that I wasn't meant to work 14, 15 hour days, I don't think anybody is, but it's realizing that I needed to take naps, so I started to schedule naps during my day and not.
00:06:41.021 --> 00:06:42.790
One thing is to schedule them and take them.
00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:46.271
Another thing is not to feel guilty about taking the rest.
00:06:46.690 --> 00:06:53.261
So it was a whole process and realizing that the more I gave my permission again to rest, I felt better.
00:06:53.531 --> 00:06:54.911
I was less cranky.
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:11.781
I was able to manage the afternoon tasks in a way that was more conducive to productivity than just running myself ragged from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM and earning the rest at 8:00 PM at night when I was completely flustered, when I was in tears almost cuz my body was so tired.
00:07:12.081 --> 00:07:20.935
So honoring those cues from my body really helped me, understand that I do better work when I'm rested my clients feel the difference.
00:07:20.935 --> 00:07:25.355
My projects, my post, everything feels different when I'm rested.
00:07:26.295 --> 00:07:31.380
So that's interesting cuz I'm curious because I know what my family's response was.
00:07:31.651 --> 00:07:33.060
How has your family taken that?
00:07:33.721 --> 00:07:35.490
I had to educate them.
00:07:35.610 --> 00:07:41.641
I had to coach them and say, Hey listen guys, this is what I need because my family doesn't really need rest.
00:07:41.850 --> 00:07:47.255
They could just go on for hours and hours and they're like that bunny the battery Yeah.
00:07:47.396 --> 00:07:48.086
Sell bunny.
00:07:48.086 --> 00:07:48.485
Yeah.
00:07:48.516 --> 00:07:49.956
They can just go on and on and on.
00:07:49.956 --> 00:07:51.846
And I was actually conditioned.
00:07:53.125 --> 00:08:01.415
race along with them until my body said no more, and until I started feeling the physical, outcome of running myself ragged.
00:08:01.815 --> 00:08:13.141
Right through stress, through unable to, sleep well through, unable to lose weight or gain weight in a manner that was too fast because I wasn't managing the stress, because I wasn't resting, because I wasn't sleeping.
00:08:13.141 --> 00:08:13.891
It's all a cycle.
00:08:14.370 --> 00:08:24.790
So I had to tell them, listen, this is what I need to do, and I had to step out of certain social, expectations of gatherings with family and say this doesn't align.
00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:36.140
And little by little they started seeing how I was acting differently after I rested, after I told them, no, I can't do this cuz it goes along with boundaries of my time, of my energy.
00:08:36.711 --> 00:08:39.750
And so now they're like, okay, we think you need to take a little break.
00:08:39.750 --> 00:08:42.120
You need to take a little nap because you're acting a little cranky.
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:48.380
So it's almost like a joke, but that really helps, telling the people around you, your needs so that way they can meet you there.
00:08:48.451 --> 00:09:05.581
So you said something very interesting, taking the nap and not feeling guilty because there is the one thing to schedule it, and then there's the other based on other people's expectations where A, you feel bad or you think you should feel bad, or whatever that could be for you.
00:09:05.971 --> 00:09:09.346
So how do you do that crossover.
00:09:09.346 --> 00:09:13.245
Especially if you, if we have listeners who are like, oh, that's my family.
00:09:13.245 --> 00:09:18.975
They have this expectation of me to always go, how do they do that?
00:09:19.025 --> 00:09:24.466
Set those boundaries, because that's a difficult thing, especially for female entrepreneurs starting a business.
00:09:24.466 --> 00:09:28.365
Like I know for me, when I started my business, my husband was like, why isn't the house clean?
00:09:28.546 --> 00:09:28.936
And why?
00:09:28.936 --> 00:09:30.066
And I was like, what?
00:09:30.655 --> 00:09:31.145
What?
00:09:31.145 --> 00:09:32.145
We're in a business here sir.
00:09:32.145 --> 00:09:37.576
If I was working nine to five you wouldn't come home at six o'clock and ask me that.
00:09:37.816 --> 00:09:39.835
Why are we asking me that now?
00:09:40.284 --> 00:09:46.351
So how do I do this and not feel guilty, especially somebody's so prone to answering to everybody else.
00:09:46.451 --> 00:09:47.802
First is self-compassion.
00:09:47.861 --> 00:09:56.772
You have to be compassionate towards yourself and towards your upbringing and the way I did it, cause sometimes I will just lay there and my mind would not let me go to sleep.
00:09:56.772 --> 00:09:58.392
My mind was still going and going.
00:09:58.851 --> 00:10:07.442
So practically I would actually chant, affirmations or I would put relaxing music to help my body to signal it to, okay, it's time to rest.
00:10:07.831 --> 00:10:11.501
And, I would tell myself, why am I doing this?
00:10:13.226 --> 00:10:22.197
What came up is because I need to come first in this moment because this is a love act for me, because this is what is good to me right now.
00:10:22.856 --> 00:10:28.346
And in order for the people around me to be good and to get the best that I can give them, I need to be rested.
00:10:29.381 --> 00:10:35.912
So as that continual repetition in your mind of I am worthy of this rest, this rest is needed and it's for the highest good.
00:10:36.241 --> 00:10:42.692
And little by little the resistance of my ego kept letting, okay, she's doing effort because it's what she needs right now.
00:10:42.932 --> 00:10:44.711
And it became easier and easier and easier.
00:10:45.942 --> 00:10:58.802
And I'm sure that's been quite the process, cuz like I said, it took me a long time for myself, one, to realize that there was an issue because I remember working in my twenties and actually that's what prompted me to go back to school.
00:10:59.621 --> 00:11:03.667
I come from a family of, hairdressers, whole family, 14 hour days.
00:11:03.876 --> 00:11:04.567
It's not for me.
00:11:04.567 --> 00:11:11.586
I f figured that out when I was 13, I washed blue-haired ladies hair in aquanet days and that was not for me.
00:11:11.616 --> 00:11:16.427
Anyway, I did get into retail and I moved up management whole thing.
00:11:16.576 --> 00:11:24.177
And I remember coming home after a six week stent opening up National Store 7:00 AM to 11 o'clock at night for six weeks.
00:11:24.177 --> 00:11:34.376
And I literally felt like I could not feel my legs and I share this for anybody who's going through this cuz my mom's like, see, told you you'd go back to school if you did this.
00:11:34.376 --> 00:11:35.216
Which was good.
00:11:35.216 --> 00:11:36.236
I'm glad she said that.
00:11:36.236 --> 00:11:40.197
And my grandmother wanted me to too, but I say this because.
00:11:40.767 --> 00:11:47.126
I don't think people know, they think they can go and we're gonna get into a little bit of that is that idea of hustle and grind.
00:11:47.787 --> 00:11:52.317
And what it really physically does to your body.
00:11:52.317 --> 00:11:57.057
Because my legs were like, unless you have to pee, you are not getting off a couch or a bed.
00:11:57.096 --> 00:12:03.981
I was down for a week after that because of physical exhaustion and I was like, what's wrong with me?
00:12:03.981 --> 00:12:04.851
I'm 20 something.
00:12:04.851 --> 00:12:06.772
I should just be able to keep.
00:12:06.772 --> 00:12:09.471
Cuz I watched the whole family just always go.
00:12:09.642 --> 00:12:12.611
It's an expectation that you gotta put up with the same amount of hours.
00:12:12.611 --> 00:12:24.642
And it's so crazy because we all are very different beings, energetic beings, and we have cycles and we have seasons of creativity and seasons of work, work, work and seasons of just rest.
00:12:24.981 --> 00:12:36.706
And that's what I teach my clients to honor their own cycle to realize, okay, if you're a woman, when you have your menes, the moon affects how you feel and also your energy levels.
00:12:36.706 --> 00:12:38.177
How are we honoring that?
00:12:38.746 --> 00:12:41.476
We are, right now, in summer, transitioning into autumn.
00:12:41.897 --> 00:12:44.956
We don't do the same activities from summer To Autumn.
00:12:44.956 --> 00:12:47.447
So why would we do the same with our business?
00:12:47.447 --> 00:12:49.517
Why would we do the same with our lives?
00:12:49.756 --> 00:12:53.481
And it's almost reteaching ourselves how to see time in a more flowy manner.
00:12:54.182 --> 00:12:56.371
Why are we trying to do this robot things?
00:12:56.371 --> 00:13:04.111
We're not robots and we coming to this entrepreneur trip from the corporate because we don't want to be rockets, we wanna flow.
00:13:04.167 --> 00:13:05.157
Absolutely.
00:13:05.456 --> 00:13:08.456
So let's get into that.
00:13:08.456 --> 00:13:12.027
Because again, when you start business, I wasn't starting a business at that point.
00:13:12.027 --> 00:13:14.397
I was young and I was like, this is not for me.
00:13:14.506 --> 00:13:15.476
But you realize it?
00:13:15.476 --> 00:13:16.647
And you listen to your body.
00:13:16.647 --> 00:13:18.986
There's a lot of people that are like, oh no, I gotta keep going.
00:13:18.991 --> 00:13:23.126
So I'm gonna drink more coffee and I'm gonna drink more energy drinks and I'm gonna do all of the things and more sugar.
00:13:23.277 --> 00:13:24.657
So I could keep going, going, going.
00:13:24.866 --> 00:13:29.772
And like you said, those physical results in their body in a couple of years.
00:13:29.772 --> 00:13:31.091
It doesn't even have to be 10 years.
00:13:31.091 --> 00:13:34.631
It could be as soon as three years, your body will start presenting symptoms
00:13:35.532 --> 00:13:36.312
to let you know.
00:13:36.371 --> 00:13:40.721
And, and I'm a big believer our bodies tells us everything that's really going on.
00:13:41.201 --> 00:13:50.902
So when we talk about that though, people leave corporate, that's mass exodus after the pandemic definitely start their own business and.
00:13:51.697 --> 00:13:54.517
There is that mindset out there of that hustle and grind.
00:13:54.517 --> 00:14:00.187
If I just try harder, if I work more hours, even for me, who does marketing?
00:14:00.187 --> 00:14:07.542
I have people who tell me if I just put out more content on more places and I'm like, just do one really well, but just this whole idea of more, more,
00:14:07.542 --> 00:14:09.131
more, more, more.
00:14:09.136 --> 00:14:09.461
Correct.
00:14:09.902 --> 00:14:10.782
What does
00:14:10.782 --> 00:14:11.251
it
00:14:12.341 --> 00:14:17.496
look like on the burnout side because I don't know, I think some of us are so conditioned to do that.
00:14:17.527 --> 00:14:23.136
I don't know if we realize we're actually burning out while we're burning out.
00:14:24.187 --> 00:14:24.547
Correct.
00:14:24.726 --> 00:14:32.466
So the first thing is when you don't want to work on your business, that's the first, that sign that you are burning yourself.
00:14:33.307 --> 00:14:39.576
When you're waking up in the morning and you're dreading to do the tasks, and we do the business because we like what we do.
00:14:39.647 --> 00:14:44.846
We hope that this entrepreneurship, it's all a journey to do what we are meant to do here in this world.
00:14:45.116 --> 00:14:45.927
And it's exciting.
00:14:45.956 --> 00:14:50.216
But when that stops happening every morning, that's my cue.
00:14:50.221 --> 00:14:54.897
I'm like, okay, if I'm dreading going to my business, then there's something that I need to do.
00:14:55.256 --> 00:15:00.091
And physical things like being unable to sleep is a sign of stress.
00:15:00.782 --> 00:15:06.841
It's a sign that the body is going through a lot like heavy things and you need to help your mind and your body to stress.
00:15:07.121 --> 00:15:17.032
And ultimately getting sick disease is a lack of balance and it's often brought up from a poor diet, stress or not sleeping well.
00:15:17.121 --> 00:15:31.626
And when you are hyper focusing on your business and you're no balancing the other aspects of your life, you may forget to eat healthy and you may forget or neglect to sleep the hours that you are recommended for you to feel better or you may, eat stuff to keep you going.
00:15:31.626 --> 00:15:33.576
So it's all a mindfulness thing.
00:15:34.011 --> 00:15:38.091
It's because life is a game and we're get, we're here to experience it.
00:15:38.302 --> 00:15:48.256
And so we are trying to decondition from this whole, you have to do all of this and now create our own experience of what it means to have our own business and be our own boss.
00:15:48.886 --> 00:15:51.917
So that's part of the entrepreneurship journey of this.
00:15:51.947 --> 00:16:04.111
Hey, I get to decide and call the shots and I make good decisions for myself, so I'm gonna eat well and rest well and make sure that everything that I do, for the highest good of my business, including resting.
00:16:05.371 --> 00:16:06.001
I love that.
00:16:06.001 --> 00:16:18.274
And when we talk about that highest good that in itself is a mindset switch when we talk about that and eating well and resting well that doesn't necessarily, mean every diet under the sun.
00:16:18.614 --> 00:16:21.884
I had to work with a nutritionist to be like, that's not what that means.
00:16:21.943 --> 00:16:25.203
That doesn't mean that you're harder yourself on one area.
00:16:25.264 --> 00:16:28.024
It's just implementing little things as you go.
00:16:28.073 --> 00:16:31.808
Listen to yourself because I think that's what people don't realize.
00:16:31.808 --> 00:16:40.739
And I think sometimes with entrepreneurship, we are all or nothing people because it's, in order to be in business, you have to have some thick skin and there's all sorts of things.
00:16:41.068 --> 00:16:44.908
But we do it in an all or nothing way sometimes.
00:16:45.099 --> 00:16:46.558
Yes, I can relate to that.
00:16:46.668 --> 00:16:47.639
I can relate to that.
00:16:47.999 --> 00:16:54.418
And it's also understanding that resting doesn't only mean taking a nap, it means listening to music.
00:16:54.418 --> 00:16:55.979
It means doing an activity that you.
00:16:56.864 --> 00:16:59.533
And taking yourself away from the current task.
00:16:59.538 --> 00:17:03.163
So when you come back to that task, you refresh your energy.
00:17:03.163 --> 00:17:11.814
Is that of a child or somebody that is, it's like a butterfly using Sprite and beaming because everything that you do for your business is imprinted with your energy.
00:17:12.084 --> 00:17:23.653
So if your energy is high when you're creating content or your energy is high, when you want to see clients, the results are gonna be better than if your run dry and drag it and you don't wanna create anything.
00:17:23.993 --> 00:17:32.124
So it's giving yourself permission to create the spaces of breaking away from the menial everyday task and do something that is fun.
00:17:32.663 --> 00:17:38.213
And it could be as easy as 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening of just listening to music.
00:17:39.653 --> 00:17:44.618
I'm glad you said that because I always say that success doesn't look the same to everybody.
00:17:44.618 --> 00:17:47.888
That means rest or taking care of yourself.
00:17:47.949 --> 00:17:50.709
Doesn't have to look the same to everybody too.
00:17:50.739 --> 00:17:54.219
It's finding out what works for you the best.
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.388
So for people who are listening to this and saying, 15 minutes?
00:17:58.388 --> 00:18:02.794
I have kids, I have spouse like I have four animals.
00:18:02.798 --> 00:18:14.834
God love them and they keep me pretty deep, busy, but plus the kid and the spouse and all that but for those who think this is such a foreign idea.
00:18:14.848 --> 00:18:17.128
What's a good starting point for them?
00:18:17.189 --> 00:18:24.449
That's really a foreign idea, because I know there are people out there, because that's where I came from, was okay.
00:18:24.499 --> 00:18:27.193
I'd go play, but then I'd feel guilty or whatever.
00:18:27.193 --> 00:18:27.463
But.
00:18:28.469 --> 00:18:31.019
For those who are really going well, where?
00:18:31.048 --> 00:18:33.598
Where would I put that in my day?
00:18:33.628 --> 00:18:42.719
Because the idea of waking up earlier to have 15 minutes when I could be sleeping doesn't seem so exciting either because you have those people who are like, unless you get up at five in the morning every day.
00:18:43.169 --> 00:18:45.118
There's a whole slot of those people too.
00:18:45.808 --> 00:18:46.949
And that works for some people.
00:18:47.009 --> 00:18:50.249
It really does, and they do all of their self-care during that time.
00:18:50.669 --> 00:18:52.108
But for those who don't see it.
00:18:52.169 --> 00:18:54.318
I don't see where I would be able to do that.
00:18:54.318 --> 00:18:58.354
How do you get them see that they probably have time if they don't know it.
00:18:59.374 --> 00:18:59.884
Definitely.
00:18:59.884 --> 00:19:00.124
Yeah.
00:19:00.128 --> 00:19:01.854
I a lot of my clients are mothers.
00:19:01.913 --> 00:19:06.544
Initially when the autumn season comes and school comes, that's another set of things.
00:19:06.844 --> 00:19:17.023
But I always ask them, there's always a five or 10 minute window, during the day, and most likely we're spending and scrolling because we want to disconnect.
00:19:17.354 --> 00:19:20.173
So I ask them, what do you do after you drop off your kids from school?
00:19:20.263 --> 00:19:24.794
Do you have five to 10 minutes then, or what do you do after you put them to bed?
00:19:24.854 --> 00:19:26.413
Do you have five or 10 minutes then?
00:19:27.013 --> 00:19:36.314
And it could be as simple of just right before you going to bed, allowing yourself to five more minutes before going to bed to get your mind into a playful mood.
00:19:36.493 --> 00:19:48.288
And if it's journaling, coloring, knitting whatever it is, five to 10 minutes, that's a good start but being honest with yourself that you do have time cuz you're choosing to honor other things.
00:19:48.348 --> 00:19:51.009
And sometimes, sometimes it's scrolling.
00:19:51.858 --> 00:20:00.729
Yes, I, well that's what I was really hinting at, cuz even I'm guilty of that and I, and it's so funny because I teach women about time management on social media while they're marketing.
00:20:00.729 --> 00:20:12.038
And one of the biggest thing is I don't wanna be on it because then I end up scrolling and I have my clients set a timer and intention and then a timer and then scroll if you have time left.
00:20:12.969 --> 00:20:22.128
But when you do that, you realize how much time you really get back in your life and I like that you said it's this mindless detachment that you do that for, right?
00:20:22.128 --> 00:20:24.648
Because it's too hectic here.
