Ever experienced that stalking feeling of guilt when you can’t meet life’s demanding expectations? We're plagued by society's messages to "keep going", push on through, don’t be a loser, even when every fibre of your being screams "enough!"
We're almost wired to resist resting, even when we're hanging by a thread.
While the world around us sets an array of standards and benchmarks, there's a relentless commentator within us that often turns out to be our harshest critic.
This inner voice is a collection of societal norms, past experiences, and our personal fears.
When external pressures weigh us down with responsibilities and expectations, the internal one ensures we're doubly hard on ourselves!!!
It’s both intriguing and concerning how we humans tend to function or more precisely stated create dysfunction.
Society cleverly conducts the demands and expectations in our lives, constantly setting the direction and pace at which we play along.
It skillfully and slyfully dictates that we constantly outdo ourselves, no matter the cost.
Our society has mastered the art of instilling the fear of missing out or being left behind. So, we tend to equate rest with laziness, self-care with self-indulgence, and boundaries with weakness.
Pushing ourselves too hard without taking enough time for restorative rest can seriously undermine both our physical and mental health.
When we ignore the need for rest, we risk falling into burnout, which leaves us feeling exhausted, both emotionally and physically, all the time. This chronic stress can lead to serious issues like insomnia, a weakened immune system, heightened anxiety, and deeper bouts of depression.
Overstretching ourselves without adequate downtime can stop our bodies from repairing themselves and can make existing health issues worse. This not only impacts our overall productivity but can also affect our quality of life.
It's clear that making time for regular rest isn't indulgence—it's crucial for maintaining our mental well-being and keeping our bodies strong and healthy.

7 个月Stillness speaks, yes Caroline Ribeiro-Nelson. It's not often the noise that bothers us, it's the silence that deafens. When we sit in stillness we're confronted with our truth - the full gambit of human emotions, which we've fooled into thinking we should shove down so far that they end up feeling consumed by.
