Why Rest is the Most Important Boundary!

Rest is necessary and it’s regenerative.

Our bodies rejuvenate while we’re at rest.

That’s why you feel so great on vacation. But rest shouldn’t only be for vacation. Can you imagine how your car would run if you only checked the oil and added gas once a year?

There’s danger in the fact we are doing it to ourselves, but the devastation is that we continue to do it to our children too. Believing and teaching that we have to “work hard” and “do something important”, and “hustle” from dawn till the middle of the night in order to “be good”.

This idea that hard work is the path to riches is a MYTH. The real truth is that we are all connected to each other and this planet we share (what do you know about atoms and energy?). We have enough resources to care for every human being on earth. Not only that, but the value YOU bring to this planet is shared simply because you exist.

You don’t have to do anything else EVER to be massively valuable. Your mere presence on this planet is priceless and every single thing above and beyond that is just icing on an already delicious cake.

So, we see rest as a luxury, but in fact, it’s a necessity and the only reason we see it as a luxury is because capitalism has been working to convince us of that for the entirety of it’s existence.

I mean, rest IS a luxury for something that’s seen simply as a cog in the wheel, right? Just oil it up and keep it spinning.

But YOU, my dear, are NOT a cog.

You a unique, perfectly imperfect, PRICELESS human being and you Deserve Rest.
