Rest Is Not a Luxury—It’s a Radical Reset

National Relaxation Day

Relaxation gets a bad rap in a hustle-obsessed world. But here’s the truth: rest is not weakness. It’s resilience. It’s what fuels our ability to show up, think clearly, and reconnect with who we are outside of “doing.”

🌬️ If you’ve been waiting for a break, this is your sign to take one—without guilt.

Here are 5 gentle ways to honor National Relaxation Day:

• Take a screen break. Ten minutes counts.

• Journal about what rest actually feels like to you.

• Create a “Not Today” list—yes, what you’re not doing matters.

• Try progressive muscle relaxation or a slow breathwork session.

• Give yourself permission to be unproductive on purpose.

• 
  

💡 Reminder: You don’t have to earn rest. You’re allowed to just be.
