Reclaiming You: The Value of Rest

In a fast-paced world where hustle and grind are often glorified, the value of rest is often overlooked. Rest is not merely the absence of work; it is a crucial component of overall well-being and productivity. Taking time to rest allows our bodies and minds to recharge, rejuvenate, and refocus. It is a time to relax, reflect, and restore balance in our lives.

When we prioritize rest, we give ourselves care and love. Rest is not a sign of weakness but a sign of wisdom and strength. It is a way to honor our bodies and minds, recognizing that they need time to recuperate in order to function at their best. By allowing ourselves to rest, we can prevent burnout, reduce stress, and improve our overall health and happiness.

Whether it’s taking a nap, spending time in a hobby, or simply doing nothing at all, give yourself permission to rest guilt-free. Remember, rest is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Let’s make time for rest and experience the benefits it brings to our well-being.

Social Justice for Beginners

At the MLK March and Rally at the State Capital today, I looked around and saw so many individuals who had come together to honor and celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was truly inspiring and I also felt sadness. The daily news is a reminder that there is still so much work to do.

Have you ever wondered how social justice fits into your life? Being curious is a great place to start. Therapy can be a space to safely explore attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors in relation to gender, race, sexual identity, and immigration (just to name a few).
