Rest Isn’t Optional, It’s Survival

Rest is not optional, it's survival. Your body will force you to stop if you don't choose it

first. That burnout everyone warns about? It's real and it steals months,

not days. We glorify the grind but ignore that rest is when your brain actually processes,

when your muscles rebuild, when your immune system recharges. Guilt around resting

is just programming from a system that profits from your exhaustion. You're not lazy

for needing downtime. You're human. Your worth isn't measured by productivity. Schedule rest like

you schedule meetings because honestly it's more important. The world will keep spinning while you

lay down. And those routines everyone swears by? They're not universal
