Rest is not a reward. It’s a requirement.
Arianna Huffington collapsed from exhaustion in 2007.
She was overworked, overtired, and obsessed with doing more.
That moment changed her life and sparked a global movement around wellness.
She didn’t just recover. She rebuilt smarter.
You’re not invincible. You’re not weak either.
You’re a system, and systems need maintenance.
Take the break. Recharge the mind. Protect the mission.
Take this weekend to unplug.
No guilt or grind. Just restoration.
I am rooting for you.

1moI completely agree with you, burnout doesn’t just happen. It builds up slowly, often quietly, until it feels like too much. That’s why it’s so important to pause, breathe, and listen to ourselves along the way
