How to Rest: It is perfectly fine to say no, especially if saying no means you are taking care of yourself. Rest means taking a break from doing all the things, removing excess stimuli, and just being quiet for a bit. Sometimes rest involves getting lost in a story or watching a movie or just taking a nap with the cats. Go take a walk in the park, in the woods, or by the water. Sit down, smell the air, count the birds, and watch the clouds and people go by. It’s not being lazy, it’s refueling.
