We have become a culture where busy is synonymous with productivity, and rest is equal to laziness or not making things happen.
The opposite is true, and burnout and breakdowns are real.
Rest and productivity became a healthy cycle, versus the unhealthy burnout one.
When you rest, you become more productive. And when you're productive, you need the rest from all the hard work.
Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
So even if you're bedridden from symptoms and "physically resting", how much are you allowing your mind and heart to rest from painful thoughts? How many times are you allowing yourself the space to be still in meditation and prayer?
See how much more productive you can be when you take rest as seriously as you do with your daily grind.
Something I have gotten SO much better at this year! When I work, I work hard. When I rest, I rest hard.
Drop a 💪if this is something you want to live out more too!
