Rest Without Earning It

A nervous system rebuild guide for the chronically overextended.

If you’ve ever said:

“I can rest once I finish everything.”

“I’ll relax after I catch up.”

“I didn’t earn a break today.”

Then this is for you.

Most people are not struggling with laziness.
They’re struggling with permission.
Permission to pause.
Permission to slow down.
Permission to stop performing.

We’ve been taught that rest is something you unlock.
Something you only get after you’ve proven yourself.
But that’s not how your nervous system works.
And that’s not how healing happens.
