Read it, or listen hands-free.

Quick answer

  • Rest does not need a holiday. Short, regular pauses restore body and spirit.

Even ten quiet minutes can lower stress.

Many traditions practise a weekly rest.

A rhythm of rest can give structure to busy weeks.

What you can do

  • Choose one ten-minute pause each day.
  • Step outside, pray, or sit in quiet.

When to get help

  • Exhaustion that does not lift with rest: talk to your provider.
