It was 10am. I asked how she had been. She’s been working so much, hurt her back, and tired. Today, she finally had a much deserved day off. Her: I have so much to do, but I was tired so slept in. As soon as I woke up I was wished I could have had those 4 hours to be productive… *cue the reject* ✋🏼👇🏼

Being retired , I still struggle to rest. My brain tells me I am lazy! 🥲

There's a reason nature rests over the winter. Pull in, embrace silence, nourish yourself from the inside out the way the sun helps you make vitamin d in the summer. There's a reason people rotate crops and let fields lie dormant, a reason soup simmers on the stove to let the flavours deepen, a reason tea needs to steep.
