Rest is more than sleep; it is the deep renewal that comes from allowing myself to pause without guilt, to release the weight I carry and let my body and mind recover. When I embrace this affirmation, I feel the difference between mere survival and true vitality—my thoughts are clearer, my spirit lighter, my movements filled with purpose instead of exhaustion. Energy is not just the product of rest but of knowing I am worthy of it, that I deserve to wake up replenished, ready to step into the day with strength, presence, and a heart open to possibility.
