Card of the Week: Rest

Renewal. Surrender.

Rest isn’t laziness. It’s wealth alignment in action.

When you give yourself permission to slow down, you make space for new creation to be born.

Rest restores your energy and flow.

This week, the Universe dropped a little whisper into our Wealth Digest inbox: “Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.”

(Affirmation 301 nails it, doesn’t it?)

You’ve already done enough, you are enough, and you’ve even exceeded your own expectations.

Which means it’s officially time to unclench, exhale, and let abundance flow without the constant hustle.

You’re allowed to just be.

Affirmation of the Week

“I will stop putting so much pressure on myself.

"I enjoy the wonder of it all and I'm thankful for the magnificence of my life.

I am enough already. I've already met and exceeded my highest expectations."

Fabulous 365 Nr 301.

Journal prompt

“What part of me needs rest right now?”

Wealth Ritual for the week

Practice / Ritual: Permission to Pause

1. Pick a day (or even just an afternoon) to unplug completely. No emails, no “just quickly checking.”

2. Create a small sanctuary: light a candle, put your phone in airplane mode, play gentle music, and either nap, read, or simply stare at the ceiling like it’s the Sistine Chapel.

3. Before you begin, say aloud: “I allow rest to recharge my wealth frequency.”

4. Notice how your energy feels afterward.

More open? More grounded? That’s wealth manifesting through your nervous system.

A personal note from me

When I pulled this card, I had to laugh. Spirit basically staged an intervention. I’ve been putting pressure on myself to keep producing, creating, and building. So many projects, so little time.

But the truth is, every time I step back, abundance flows in easier. So yes, this week I’m scheduling naps like they’re business meetings. (Spoiler: they are.)

👉 You don’t have to earn rest, darling. You’re already magnificent. Let your exhale be your wealth practice this week. Here’s the truth: when you rest, money doesn’t stop flowing. Energy does not dry up. In fact, your abundance magnetism actually gets stronger.

So exhale. Nap like it’s strategy. Rest like it’s your birthright.

Love,
