The Rest Practice: Honoring Your Body Without Guilt (Action Wednesday)

What if rest isn't laziness? What if rest is expansion? In this Action Wednesday episode, Nyomi walks you through practical exercises to create your rest practice, identify where you're doing too much vs. being enough, and take responsibility without judgment. This is the work of unashamed expansion. Bring your journal and get ready to honor your body. **In This Episode:** - Exercise 1: Where is your body asking you to rest? (5 questions to identify signals you've been ignoring) - Exercise 2: Doing too much vs. Being enough (balancing the DOING list with the BEING list) - Exercise 3: Taking responsibility without judgment (reframing with the formula from the 6th card) - Exercise 4: Creating your rest practice (ONE specific, timed, non-negotiable commitment) - Addressing the guilt: "But I have so much to do..." - The choice: Rest now on your terms, or rest later when your body forces you - Real examples from Nyomi's life (altar time, saying no, lying down, pushing back deadlines) - The 7-Day Rest Challenge **The 4 Exercises:** 1. **Where is your body asking you to rest?** - Physical symptoms, when they started, what you're telling yourself, what your body is actually saying 2. **Doing vs. Being** - List everything you're doing, mark what drains you, identify where you need to BE more 3. **Taking responsibility without judgment** - "I take responsibility for [action], but I do not judge myself for [being human]" 4. **Your rest practice** - ONE specific form of rest, made specific and timed, with prepared responses to blocks **Your Rest Practice Options:** - Sleep (30 min earlier) - Stillness (10 min silence) - Movement (gentle stretching/walking) - Saying No (decline one draining commitment) - Support (ask for help with one thing) - Boundaries (protect one hour for nothing) **The Formula:** "I take responsibility for [action/situation], but I do not judge myself for [being human]." **Your Challenge:** Do your rest practice every day for 7 days. Notice what shifts. Journal at the end: What did rest teach me about expansion? **Share Your Practice:** Instagram: Tag or DM @AskNyomi with "This week, my rest practice is..." **Connect with Nyomi:** - Website: AskNyomi.com - Instagram: @AskNyomi @TheSeasonofSelfLovePodcast - Tune in: Ask Nyomi Bridging the Gap - Thursdays ** #ActionWednesday #SeasonOfSelfLove #UnashamedExpansion #RestPractice #HonorYourBody #RestWithoutGuilt #TakeResponsibilityWithoutJudgment #RestIsMedicine Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-season-of-self-love--6003379/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-season-of-self-love--6003379/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss) .

MINDSET MONDAY Unashamed Expansion: When Your Body Forces You to Receive Week 4: Unashamed Expans...

What if expansion doesn't always feel like moving forward? What if sometimes it feels like your body forcing you to stop? What if being "too much" means you're DOING too much and not BEING enough? In this raw, honest Mindset Monday, Nyomi shares what happened this weekend—chronic migraines in rare form, the mental battle between her human side and her soul side, and the powerful Monday morning altar moment that changed everything. Six cards fell out. A photo from years ago appeared. And every single message spoke directly to where she is RIGHT NOW. This is about redefining expansion. About taking responsibility without judgment. About honoring your body when it asks you to rest. About recognizing that sometimes the discomfort IS the expansion.  If you've ever felt like you can't afford to rest while everything is happening—this episode is for you.  IN THIS EPISODE The Migraine Weekend: • Chronic migraines in rare form—the kind of pain that makes you question everything • Expensive medication ($1000+ even with insurance) that doesn't even work • Saturday morning: 6 hours of full gratitude, then knocked back down by unbearable pain • Lying in bed thinking: "I can't afford to rest. I'm expanding. There's too much to do." • Never once thinking: "Maybe the best medicine for me right now is to rest"The Battle: Human Side vs. Soul Side: • Human side screaming: "I can't afford to lay here. I'm getting everything I asked for." • All weekend: sleeping on and off, body cleansing itself, head so heavy • Fighting the rest, fighting the stillness, fighting the pause • Rest = falling behind / not being productive / missing opportunities • The story: "How can I afford to rest when my dreams are coming true?"Monday Morning Altar Moment: • "Let's start this week over" • Shower, then altar • Lit candles, saged the room (golden rose room), saged body • Prayed for guidance, strength, help with tongue, words to self, visions, steps • Asked: "Are there any messages for me today?" • Six cards fell out of the deckThe Six Cards That Spoke: 1. Do Your Best Because You Love It - "Do your best and take action because you love it, not because you expect a reward. When you take action without expecting a reward, you enjoy every action and you can even receive greater rewards than you imagined." 2. Sacral Chakra - Abundance - "I am worthy and I deserve an abundance of anything that I require. I watch my thoughts to ensure that I am honouring and respecting myself. I honour myself by knowing that I am worthy to receive. I am open to receive—now! I remind myself that it is a sign of strength to ask for help." 3. Stay Present - New Dream - "Keep your attention on today, and stay in the present moment. This is the beginning of a new understanding. A new dream." 4. Don't Take It Personally - "When you see other people as they are without taking it personally, you can never be hurt by what they say or do. Even if others lie to you, it is okay. They are lying to you because they are afraid you will discover that they are not perfect." 5. Throat Chakra - Truthfulness - "I am truthful and honest with myself. I aim to overcome any fears about speaking my truth, and I speak in a loving and considerate way." 6. Being Impeccable (THE KEY) - "Being impeccable, you take responsibility for your actions, but you do NOT judge or blame yourself for anything."The Photo: • A photo from years ago popped up while taking pictures of the cards • Nyomi standing tall, full red head, fully in her power • She was already living it. She was already expansive. She just didn't know it yet.The Chills & The Lesson: • Chills down her spine when she saw it all together • The universe was telling her what her human side didn't want to hear • Expansion doesn't always look like MORE. Sometimes it looks like STOP. • Sometimes expansion means your body forcing you to rest so you can receive • Sometimes being "too much" means you're DOING too much and not BEING enoughWhat Unashamed Expansion Really Means: We think expansion means: • Doing more • Being visible everywhere • Saying yes to everything • Hustling harder • Never stopping • Always pushing forwardBut what if expansion also means: • Resting more • Being selective about where you show up • Saying no to protect your energy • Honoring your limits • Pausing when your body asks you to • Receiving instead of always givingYou Already Carry Everything You Need: • That photo showed: she was already living it years ago • I don't need to do more to prove my worth • I don't need to hustle harder to deserve rest • I don't need to be productive every second to be valuable • I already have everything I need. I just need to stop long enough to receive it.The Tension: • Expansion isn't always comfortable • Sometimes expansion hurts • Sometimes it feels like pressure, like your bod...

The Joy Audit: Reclaiming Pleasure Without Guilt (Action Wednesday)

When was the last time you did something just because it brought you joy? Not because it was productive. Not because it served a purpose. Just because it felt good.  In this Action Wednesday episode, Nyomi walks you through The Joy Audit—practical exercises to identify where you're blocking joy, release guilt, practice both/and thinking, and add one joyful practice to your daily life. This is about reclaiming pleasure without justification. Bring your journal and get ready to add joy back in. In This Episode: • Exercise 1: The Joy Audit (5 questions to identify where joy is blocked) • Exercise 2: The Guilt Release (reframing each guilt into truth) • Exercise 3: The Both/And List (claiming all your dreams) • Exercise 4: Choosing Your Joyful Practice (one daily practice for pure pleasure) • Nyomi's real joyful practices (altar time, music on set, green bathroom, laughter, podcasting) • Addressing resistance: "I don't have time" and "What if people judge me?" • The 7-Day Joy ChallengeThe 5 Joy Audit Questions: 1. What brings you joy that you've been apologizing for or minimizing? 2. Where are you feeling guilty about feeling good? 3. What dreams or callings have you been told you need to choose between? 4. What joyful practices have you cut out because they seem "unproductive"? 5. Who are you worried will judge you for pursuing your joy?The Guilt Release Formula: "I release the guilt about [thing]. The truth is [reframe]." Both/And Examples: • I can have BOTH a successful career AND a fulfilling personal life • I can have BOTH creative fulfillment AND financial stability • I can have BOTH rest AND productivityYour Joyful Practice: "Every day this week, I will [specific joyful practice] at [specific time]." Examples of Joyful Practices:  Dance to one song every morning, take a 10-minute bath, read fiction for 15 minutes, light a candle and journal, cook one beautiful meal, paint or create, sing, walk outside, watch the sunset, sit in silence with coffee, stretch, listen to music The Challenge: Do your joyful practice every day for 7 days.

Unashamed Joy: When Your Dreams Become Your Reality

What if you didn't have to choose between your dreams? What if you could pursue all of them—unapologetically? Fresh off a joy-filled production week, Nyomi shares the story of bringing back the original Chicago cast 10 years later, working 15-hour days fueled by gratitude, and almost getting lost in the "Hollywood set" mindset before being reminded of her other calling by Dr. Will's text. This is about having multiple dreams. Multiple callings. Multiple joys. And not apologizing for any of it. In This Episode: • Full circle moments: Original cast returning after 10+ years • The Four Agreements booklet setting the tone on set • Working 15-hour days guided by joy • Two dreams running simultaneously: production + coaching • Dr. Will's Saturday text as a loving reminder • Almost getting lost in one dream and forgetting the other • The tension: Which joy do I choose? • Why your joy doesn't need justification • The guilt we carry about feeling good • "Making my dream a reality"—Nyomi's childhood motto • Gratitude as the foundation of joy • Both/and, not either/or • 5 reflection questions on unashamed joyKey Takeaway: You don't have to choose between your dreams. It's not either/or. It's both/and. Your joy doesn't need justification. You get to have all of it—unapologetically. Week 3 Focus: Unashamed Joy - Pleasure Without Guilt Reflection Questions: 1. What brings me joy that I've been apologizing for? 2. Where am I operating from either/or instead of both/and? 3. What would my life look like if I pursued all my dreams unapologetically? 4. What guilt am I carrying about my joy? 5. What is one joyful practice I can add to my daily life this week?Connect with Nyomi: • Website: AskNyomi.com • Instagram: @AskNyomi @TheSeasonofSelfLovePodcast • (Tell me: What joy are you ready to stop apologizing for?) • Tune in: Ask Nyomi Bridging the Gap - ThursdaysNext Episode: Action Wednesday - The Joy Audit (identifying blocks + adding joyful practices) Episode Hashtags: #SeasonOfSelfLove #ReclaimedAndUnashamed #MindsetMonday #UnashamedJoy #JoyWithoutGuilt #PursueAllYourDreams #BothAnd #MakingDreamsReality #FullCircleMoments Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-season-of-self-love--6003379/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-season-of-self-love--6003379/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss) .
