Rest is not the same as stopping
You can stop working and get no rest at all. Most of us prove this every evening.
Scrolling is stopping. So is collapsing in front of something loud. The work pauses and the nervous system does not, which is why four hours of it can leave you more tired than when you began.
Rest is different. Rest is the thing that puts something back. For some people that is silence, for others it is music, a long bath, hands in soil, a conversation with somebody who does not want anything.
Worth knowing which is which for you — and worth knowing that you probably have not asked.
What actually rests you?
