Rest: simple concept, sometimes difficult to execute. But why? Shouldn't it be easy to take some time for yourself and recharge? And why do we sometimes tie our worth to our level of productivity? Unfortunately, we live in a society where rest often isn't appreciated as much as it should be, and productivity is idolized to the point of being toxic. On this weeks episode of Anxious Optimists, Mack and Kavita focus on the importance of rest. Kavita talks about her struggles with saying "no," and how it's led to burnout throughout her life, and Mack shares her struggles with not feeling good enough when she's not as overworked as so many others seem to be.
