Over the past year, how often did you truly step away—unplugged evenings, real weekends, guilt-free holidays, actual vacations?
Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s infrastructure. It holds up everything else.
Maybe you found a rhythm that gave you space to recover and recharge. Or maybe breaks felt more like interruptions—rare, rushed, or filled with the quiet hum of unfinished work.
But here’s the truth: rest doesn’t just restore energy. It sharpens focus, strengthens creativity, and protects your long-term well-being. It’s not the opposite of productivity—it’s what makes productivity sustainable.
In the year ahead, how might you protect your rest like any other high-value priority? What boundaries, rituals, or plans would help you stop earning rest and start honoring it?
Because balance doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by choice.
