In our culture, rest is often treated like a reward.
In Chinese Medicine, rest is treatment.
Winter teaches conservation.
Burnout teaches limits.
Your fatigue is not a flaw — it is information.
Rest:
• Rebuilds depleted Qi
• Nourishes Yin
• Regulates hormones
• Strengthens immunity
• Allows the Heart and Kidneys to communicate clearly
When we override exhaustion, we deepen imbalance.
When we honor it, we restore rhythm.
Rest is not laziness.
It is biological repair.
If your body has been whispering “slow down,” consider this permission.
Comment RHYTHM if you’re learning to see rest differently this season.
