Why tiredness is not linked to lack of rest

Share this article:

I came across this from an interview with David Whyte (a poet who has worked extensively in the corporate world). He was being interviewed by Michael Lerner for The New School podcast at Commonweal:

“The cure for exhaustion isn’t rest. It’s wholeheartedness. We feel exhaustion when we are not doing what we are in this life to do.”

That coupled with this quote from Michael Bungay Stanier:

“Two key questions – 1. And what else? 2. What will you say no to?”

What does this mean for you today? Are you doing what you are in this life to do? What are you saying no to?
