Feeling guilty when you take a break? Like if you rest, you’re falling behind or being “lazy”?
Let’s talk about it.
In this episode of Self Elevated, we’re unpacking the toxic conditioning that makes us feel like slowing down = weakness. And I’m here to remind you: rest is not the enemy of progress—it’s the foundation of it.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why you feel guilt around rest in the first place
✅ What really happens when you don’t pause
✅ How to rewire your mind so rest feels like power—not failure
✅ Plus: Reflective journal prompts + affirmations to shift your energy
It’s time to stop earning your rest and start owning it.
