Let’s Talk About Rest (And Why You Probably Need More of It)
‍

In a world that celebrates busyness, choosing to rest can feel rebellious. But research — and experience — says rest isn’t a waste of time. It’s actually one of the best ways to get more done.

Whether you’re building a business, managing a household, juggling classes, or just navigating life — your body and brain need breaks to function well.

The Science of Rest & Productivity

When you rest, you give your brain a chance to:

• Consolidate memories and learning
  
  
• Make new connections and ideas
  
  
• Reset decision-making abilities
  
  
• Reduce mental fatigue
  
  

That means after resting, you’re sharper, faster, and more focused.

What Rest Can Look Like (No, You Don’t Have to Meditate on a Mountain)

Rest doesn’t have to be dramatic or time-consuming. Try:

• A 10-minute walk without your phone
  
  
• Sitting in silence with your favorite drink
  
  
• Power napping
  
  
• Doing something just for fun
  
  
• Delegating dinner to a Citrus Pear freezer meal
  
  

Permission to Pause

Rest isn’t a reward for doing enough. It’s a necessary part of functioning well — just like eating or sleeping.

So this week, schedule your rest the same way you’d schedule a meeting or workout. Your body (and your productivity) will thank you.
