#52 Why Rest Feels Wrong (and How to Rewire That Guilt)
Stop the rest guilt. Make rest feel natural again. Help your mind and body accept downtime. Retrain your nervous system to feel safe in rest again.
Do you ever feel like resting makes you lazy — even when you desperately need it? Or that rest is a reward, not a right. And that belief keeps you trapped in cycles of exhaustion, overwhelm, and guilt.
​
In this episode, I dive into the psychology behind rest guilt, why rest feels wrong and why you feel “lazy” when you stop. You will discover how your nervous system interprets rest, why it can feel unsafe and how to retrain your nervous system, so you stop feeling guilty, reclaim your downtime, and recharge your energy.
​
Rest is essential, not optional. It’s time you stop feel guilty whenever you try to rest and you start showing up fully in all areas of your life.
​
So, tune in!
