Why Rest Is No Longer Optional

Rest used to feel like a reward. Something you earned after pushing hard, checking all the boxes, and keeping up with life’s demands. In today’s world, that mindset is no longer sustainable—and your body knows it. Rest isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s a requirement for clarity, emotional stability, creativity, health, and soul alignment. And if you’ve been feeling more tired than usual, less motivated, or oddly foggy even when life seems “fine,” that’s not a personal failure. It’s feedback.
