Embracing the Power of Rest: A Message from Dr. Gary

Ever catch yourself pushing through the tired, whispering in the back of your mind, "I can't stop now"? 😡😡😡

That was my daily echo. A relentless drive, fuelled by guilt and the fear of falling behind, never giving myself permission to simply... pause. I was on a ceaseless quest for the next big thing in self-improvementβ€”new strategies, cognitive drills, anything that promised a step forward. All the while, ignoring the most powerful step of all: rest.

It took me far too long to realise that rest isn't a full stop. It's the deep breath that recharges us, the quiet moment that refuels our spirit. Without it, progress isn't just slow - it's stalled.

If this message finds you in a whirlwind of self-imposed expectations, let it be your reminder: Rest is not a luxury; it's a necessity. πŸ’› Your journey forward begins with giving yourself the grace to pause, recharge, and embrace the power of rest.

So to anyone feeling the weight of 'shouldn't' - let's change that narrative. Rest as deeply and as often as you need. Your future self will thank you for it. πŸ’–
