Growing up, a lot of people developed the belief that they have to work for rest. They believe that if they don't achieve a certain goal, then they are not able to rest. As adults, this manifests as overworking oneself to feel worthy of "a break" or rest. The truth is that rest isn't earned or achieved and despite those beliefs we learned as kids, we could develop new beliefs that align with who we want to become now. Give yourself the permission to rest. You might feel guilt and fear when allowing yourself to do this and that is okay! Remember to observe and let go of those uncomfortable feelings.
