How does taking a break or resting impact your mental health?
Hi, Mighties! 💙
Last week, as we kicked off the new month, I took an actual break from "most" of my never-ending list of responsibilities. In doing so, I realized that resting is really challenging for me.
I noticed that when I slow down, my mind has more time to ponder, wander, ruminate, and reflect. Sometimes that's a good thing, but other times my thoughts can become dark or lonely in what feels like the snap of a finger. It was an uncomfortable experience, but it's also something I'm learning to navigate.
What's your relationship with rest? How does taking a break affect your mind and your mental health?
I'd love to hear your perspective. What helps you to actually rest and recharge?
