Do you use rest as a reward to overcoming chaos? Do you feel like you need to deserve rest? That you can’t allow yourself to rest until you have checked off all the boxes and got everything done?

I feel like in the world today it’s so easy to treat rest as a reward because people will say “you have plenty of time to rest when you are dead” or YOLO so do everything right now! Or if you want to make it big and do big things you have to be go go go go all the time and that rest comes second. Rest is for the weak…

I’m here to break the news to you, girl. That is SOOOOOOO wrong! 

I found something from Integris health that sums up the reasons why rest is needed so perfectly! It says “Rest is vital for better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, reduced stress, improved mood and even a better metabolism.”

So it’s time to change to narrative about rest! You don’t need to deserve rest.. you don’t need to wait until you are at rock bottom and burnt out! Have some grace with yourself!
