Today in our A to Z coping skills series is Rest.
In a world driven by productivity and hustling, it is important to remember that rest is not lazy. It’s not weak and definitely should not be a reward you earn after burnout.
Rest is recovery.
It’s re-calibration.
It’s resistance to the pressure to be “on” and perform all the time.
Whether it’s sleep, stillness, daydreaming, or simply taking a break from over-stimulation, rest allows your body and brain to heal, recharge, and regulate.
Go ahead, give yourself permission to pause. You’re not falling behind. You’re recharging.
