Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
When your body is seated but your heart is racing, it is because your mind has mistaken rest for danger. In a world that equates busyness with worth, doing nothing can feel like a failure. You have trained your nervous system to stay on guard, constantly waiting for the next task or threat. So when the schedule clears, the silence feels unnatural. Rest is not something you earn after completing everything—because the list will never be finished. Rest is a prerequisite for living. Start small. Take five minutes to breathe without checking your phone. Tell your mind: There is nothing to fix in this moment. We are safe to just sit.
