Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is slow down. Rest doesn’t mean you’ve stopped growing — it means you’re giving your mind and body space to catch up with your heart.
Healing often happens in the quiet moments: the walk outside, the long shower, the deep breath that reminds you you’re safe now.
Today’s HOPE Shift:
H — Honor your need for rest.
O — Observe any guilt that tries to talk you out of it.
P — Practice giving yourself permission to pause.
E — Engage in something that replenishes your energy — even five minutes of stillness counts.
What does rest look like for you today? 💛
