Rest often comes with guilt in a culture that glorifies nonstop effort.

You may feel like you should always be doing more, pushing harder, achieving faster.

But constant effort without rest leads to burnout, not success.

Rest is not wasted time.

It is maintenance for your mind and body.

When you allow yourself to rest, you return with clearer focus and renewed energy.

Your worth does not increase when you are exhausted.

It remains the same.

Resting is not falling behind.

It is preparing to move forward in a healthier way.
