  • 00:00:00
    When was the last time you actually
  • 00:00:01
    rested? Like really rested. Not just
  • 00:00:04
    scrolling through TikTok for 3 hours and
  • 00:00:06
    calling it me time. Because let's be
  • 00:00:08
    real, doom scrolling until your eyes
  • 00:00:10
    hurt is not rest. Binge watching six
  • 00:00:13
    episodes of a show and feeling like a
  • 00:00:15
    zombie after, not rest. Lying in bed
  • 00:00:18
    thinking about emails you haven't
  • 00:00:19
    replied to, definitely not rest. So
  • 00:00:22
    today we're talking about something we
  • 00:00:24
    all need but totally suck at. Resting
  • 00:00:26
    like a pro. We live in a world that's
  • 00:00:28
    obsessed with being busy. If you're not
  • 00:00:30
    hustling, grinding, or building
  • 00:00:33
    something, are you even doing life
  • 00:00:34
    right? But the truth is, we're tired all
  • 00:00:38
    the time. Tired from work, tired from
  • 00:00:41
    people, tired from pretending we're not
  • 00:00:43
    tired. And the worst part, when we do
  • 00:00:45
    have time to rest, we don't even know
  • 00:00:47
    how. We think rest means doing nothing.
  • 00:00:50
    We think rest is lazy. We think if we
  • 00:00:53
    stop moving for one second, we'll fall
  • 00:00:55
    behind or worse, someone else will pass
  • 00:00:57
    us. But real rest isn't about being
  • 00:01:00
    lazy. It's about being smart. Chapter 1.
  • 00:01:04
    What we usually do. Here's what most of
  • 00:01:06
    us do when we're tired. Open Instagram,
  • 00:01:09
    scroll, compare, spiral, play a video
  • 00:01:12
    game for 7 hours straight. Fun? Sure.
  • 00:01:16
    Restful? Debatable? Tell ourselves,
  • 00:01:19
    "I'll relax after I finish this to-do
  • 00:01:20
    list." But that list never ends. Lay in
  • 00:01:23
    bed, but check emails. Just one more
  • 00:01:26
    time. Spoiler. It's never just one more
  • 00:01:29
    time. We trick ourselves into thinking
  • 00:01:31
    these things are rest, but they usually
  • 00:01:33
    leave us feeling just as drained,
  • 00:01:35
    sometimes worse. Chapter 2. What real
  • 00:01:38
    rest looks like. So, what does rest
  • 00:01:41
    actually look like? It's not one
  • 00:01:43
    sizefits-all, but here's a hint. If it
  • 00:01:45
    leaves you feeling more human, more
  • 00:01:47
    grounded, more like yourself, that's
  • 00:01:50
    real rest. Here are some ideas. Sitting
  • 00:01:53
    in silence for 10 minutes, no phone,
  • 00:01:55
    just you and your brain. Terrifying
  • 00:01:58
    maybe, but powerful. Taking a slow walk,
  • 00:02:01
    not to get steps in, not for cardio,
  • 00:02:04
    just to walk. Doing something creative
  • 00:02:06
    with no productivity goal. Doodle, bake
  • 00:02:09
    cookies, write bad poetry, laughing with
  • 00:02:12
    a friend, not venting, not trauma
  • 00:02:14
    dumping, just laughing, saying no to
  • 00:02:16
    plans without feeling guilty. Yes, it's
  • 00:02:19
    allowed. I promise. Chapter 3. Why we
  • 00:02:23
    avoid resting. You know why rest is so
  • 00:02:26
    hard? Because it makes us feel
  • 00:02:28
    unproductive. And we've been taught that
  • 00:02:30
    unproductive equals worthless. That if
  • 00:02:32
    we're not doing something that can be
  • 00:02:34
    measured, monetized, or posted about, it
  • 00:02:36
    doesn't count. But here's the truth. You
  • 00:02:39
    don't have to earn rest. You don't have
  • 00:02:41
    to justify it. You're a human, not a
  • 00:02:43
    machine. And even machines shut off
  • 00:02:45
    sometimes. Practical tips. So, how do
  • 00:02:48
    you start resting like a pro? One,
  • 00:02:51
    schedule your rest. Actually, block it
  • 00:02:53
    out in your calendar like a meeting. Do
  • 00:02:55
    nothing. 7 p.m. Boom. Two, protect it.
  • 00:03:00
    Don't let it get bumped by chores,
  • 00:03:02
    calls, or quick tasks. Treat it like it
  • 00:03:04
    matters because it does. Third
  • 00:03:06
    experiment. Not all rest is created
  • 00:03:08
    equal. Try different things and see what
  • 00:03:11
    refills your energy mentally,
  • 00:03:13
    emotionally, physically. Four, release
  • 00:03:16
    the guilt. Seriously, resting is not
  • 00:03:19
    stealing time. It's restoring it. You
  • 00:03:22
    can't pour from an empty cup. You can't
  • 00:03:24
    keep giving if you've got nothing left.
  • 00:03:26
    Rest isn't what you do when everything's
  • 00:03:29
    done. It's what helps you keep going. So
  • 00:03:32
    rest on purpose without shame like a pro
  • 00:03:36
    because you're not lazy. You're human
  • 00:03:38
    and even superheroes need naps. If you
