Rachel McDoveFar too many of us feel ashamed of resting, for various reasons including trauma, the culture we live in, and the way we were raised.
Unlearning that isn't easy. It's so important to remind ourselves that rest isn't something we earn, it's something we require in order to be able to do all the things we need to do. Especially if we have extra demands on us in some way.
Rest is not a reward. Resting is an action, one that is essential to our wellbeing. And, in a culture that demands we work ourselves to death, rest is resistance. In a culture that prioritises "The Hustle", resting is punk as fuck!
