Maybe you’re like me—always thinking rest is lazy. I used to feel guilty if I wasn’t “productive.” But burnout doesn’t care about your hustle. I started small: ten minutes with tea, no phone, no to-do list. Felt weird at first. Like I was stealing time. Then I noticed—I wasn’t snapping at coworkers as much. Sleep got deeper. Guilt didn’t vanish overnight. I had to whisper to myself: “Rest isn’t reward. It’s repair.” Some days I still cave to the grind. But now I catch myself faster. Ask: “What’s really urgent?” Most times? Nothing. You’re not a machine. Even phones need charging. Try resting like it’s part of the job description—because honestly, it is. You’ll last longer. Work better. Feel… human again.
