Summary: Restlessness, we all have felt it in our lives and especially motherhood. Because it is this weird mix of waiting, mundane chores, and mental chatter around relaxing.<br> <br> <br> <br> I asked the Facebook community what we should work on as a challenge for the month of July and there were great ideas around this general uplifting in our lives. As I talked with my besties, Sophie and Rae, about it they told me they were feeling restless lately.<br> <br> Restless! Exactly! That is what I was feeling too and when I looked back on all the suggestions I thought we could all use a general uplifting whether from restlessness or just the desire to get more intentional with how we are showing up in our homes, for ourselves and for our families this summer. <br> <br> Restless: “the inability to rest or relax as a result of anxiety or boredom.”<br> <br> Doesn't that feel too accurate of a description of motherhood? <br> <br> There are three components I want to touch on when it comes to restlessness:<br> <br> * Permission to rest<br> * Why we have anxiety in our day, what to do about it<br> * What to do about the boredom<br> <br> <br> Links Mentioned:<br> Summer on purpose (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/ss28/">episode</a> // <a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/how-to-plan-your-summer-on-purpose/">blog post</a>)<br> <br> The Pause Podcast (<a href="https://www.thepausepodcast.com/">website</a>)<br> <br> The Simple on Purpose Community (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/simpleonpurposecommunity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">facebook group)</a><br> <br> I stopped calling myself a lazy mom (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/lazy-stay-at-home-mom/">blog post</a>) <br> <br> Brain dumps (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/ss3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">episode</a> // <a title="Do Life Better with the Brain Dump" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/brain-dump/">blog post</a>)<br> <br> The Life on Purpose Academy (<a href="https://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">monthly life coaching for moms</a>)<br> <br> Live your values (<a title="How to get that feeling (why values matter + free LIVE YOUR VALUES worksheet)" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/live-your-values-worksheet/">free worksheets</a>)<br> <br> The Life on Purpose Workbook (<a title="The Workbook" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/the-workbook/">in print or digital</a>)<br> <br> How to make a daily routine that works for you and your family (<a title="56.
