If you don’t give your mind and body a break, you’ll break. Stop pushing yourself through pain and exhaustion and take care of your needs.

If you’re resting but guilting or shaming yourself for not being productive the whole time, that’s not actually rest. If you find that you’re chronically tired, this could be why.

You owe yourself one hour a day of self-maintenance. It can include reading, writing, yoga, exercise, dancing, meditation, painting, or whatever, but you owe it to yourself. One hour, 1/24 of your day. That is less than 5%. It matters, it really does. Make it count.

When you are resting because you are worn out, you need to remember that you are not wasting time. You are doing exactly what you need to do. You are recovering.

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

Never underestimate the power of a hot shower, clean sheets, and a long nap.

I don’t want to adult today. I don’t even want to human today. Today I want to dog. I’ll be lying on the floor in the sun. Please pet me and bring me snacks.

Mental health is sooo important. If you need a day, take a day. Find something to relax you. Bubble bath, nature, writing, painting, etc. Just do it.

Do what you can, when you can, with as much love and honesty as you can, and when you can’t, rest.

When the world feels like an emotional roller coaster, steady yourself with simple rituals. Do the dishes. Fold the laundry. Water the plants. Simplicity attracts wisdom.

Sometimes you just need to relax and remind yourself that you’re doing the best you can and everything is going to turn out just fine.

Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath, relax, and let things go. Focus on what matters to you and who matters in your life. The rest will work itself out. Just take it one step at a time.

Life is all about balance. You don’t always need to be getting stuff done. Sometimes it’s perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary, to shut down, kick back, and do nothing.

Your calm mind is the ultimate weapon against your challenges. So relax.

Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

Without giving up hope—that there’s somewhere better to be, that there’s someone better to be—we will never relax with where we are or who we are.

You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.

When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing. Sometimes you just need to relax, breathe, let go and live in the moment.

The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.

Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.
