Finding Inner Warmth

In this episode of the 'Warming the Soul' series, the discussion covers practical gift exchange ideas, such as giving a furry blanket and gourmet treats, and explores themes related to inner warmth and rest. The hosts recommend the book 'Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times' by Katherine May and share personal anecdotes about learning to prioritize rest and joy. They also delve into societal pressures around busyness, implementing 'rest-offs' among friends, and shifting perspectives to value happiness and ease over hard work. Additionally, they touch on concepts like non-competitive gratitude, the influence of mentors, child upbringing, and the importance of allowing oneself to receive appreciation.
