Rest is not a reward. It’s a necessity.

But if you're like me, you’ve probably felt guilty for doing nothing — like if you're not grinding, you're wasting time.

This video is about reclaiming rest — learning the art of stillness, and why “doing nothing” is actually powerful and productive in its own way.

🛋 In this video we’ll talk about:

  • Why we feel guilty for resting
    How to rest
    intentionally (not just scroll in bed)
    The science behind boredom & burnout
    How to build true rest into your routine without shame
