If rest only happens when you have nothing left, rest becomes recovery from depletion instead of part of how you care for yourself. Try practicing rest before your body is begging for it. That can look like: • lying down for 10 minutes before you’re exhausted • closing your eyes without trying to fall asleep • listening to one song without multitasking • sitting somewhere comfortable without reaching for your phone • taking a pause between responsibilities instead of pushing straight into the next one Save this, and sometime today take 10 minutes of rest before you think you need it.
