Why You Feel Guilty When You Rest
If rest makes you anxious… it’s not because you’re lazy.
It might be because your body learned that usefulness equals safety.
So when you stop, your nervous system doesn’t soften.
It scans.
It waits.
It prepares.
Rest feels unsafe to a body that only felt valued when it was useful.
But your worth was never meant to be measured in output.
You are allowed to exist without performing 🤍
Have you ever felt uncomfortable when things are finally quiet?
