You are allowed to rest. And rest some more.

You are allowed to keep resting. Even if you’ve already rested, listen to yourself and if you need more rest, do it. You aren’t lazy. You aren’t failing. Your health, sanity, and joy all require rest. Your to do list will wait.

P.S. If you’re listening to yourself with compassion and really feel like your tiredness or need for rest is excessive, talk to your doctor! There are many medical issues that can cause this and I don’t want you to ignore your health. The message above is meant for those times when we struggle to rest because we’re beating ourselves up about taking a break.
