Rest is not lazy

Helloooo friends 😃

Today's newsletter is inspired by a quote that genuinely made me pause when I read it : 

« Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you. » — Anne Lamott

We live in a world that glorifies being busy. 

We push through exhaustion, skip breaks, and wear burnout like a badge of honour. 

But what if the most productive thing you could do today… is actually pause?

Just like your phone needs to recharge to function at its best, so do you 🔋. Rest isn't laziness, it's maintenance.

Taking a 5-minute break every hour can increase your focus and energy for the rest of the day. Most of us don't even take one.

The version of you that's rested, recharged, and present will always outperform the version running on empty.

💭 Put your phone in another room for a whole evening

💭 Go for a 10 min walk outside

💭 Sit in front of a window and look outside

Give yourself permission to pause 🫶

See you in 3 weeks!
