Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that rest is something we have to earn. That only AFTER the project is done, the workweek is over, or the to-do list is complete we can finally allow ourselves rest.
.
You don't have to reach complete burnout or your breaking point before you slow down and rest. We all need rest no matter how much we have to do.
.
What would change if you gave yourself permission to slow down before you're completely depleted? Let us know in the comments.

If a farmer tried to give every crop equal time every day, nothing would thrive. Life works the same way. Some seasons you pour more into your job, others into your physical health, relationships, or hobbies. The “off-season” crops still get watered, just not as much. That’s balance.
