If rest is a challenge for you and something you want to add to your routine, one of the most important things you can do is let your body know it’s safe to rest. Start by taking short resting breaks - even 1-2 minutes is enough. Let yourself know the amount of time you’re taking and honor it. If it starts to feel uncomfortable, stop, have compassion for yourself and try a shorter amount next time. If you feel comfortable and safe, add a little more time next time.

Honoring how you feel when you rest helps you and your body feel safe. Take your time. There is no rush as you let your body know it’s safe to rest.
