This is so real. I work with the elderly and so many of them have anxiety issues because they feel like they should be doing something. Some feel like they are āuselessā to society. Itās so terrible that after decades of work, they canāt just relax. We have attached all our worth to our āproductivityā. Sometimes, itās okay to just chill out. Itās enough that youāre here.

Some us are not lightyears ahead of several years ago. Sometimes life becomes worse, not better. Life is not a steady progress bar. We don't always get to rest on the fruits of our labour. Sometimes we need to rest from an onslaught of drama and suffering. Rest isn't earned, it is a necessity.

This mindset kills me. I constantly feel like I am not enough. I am a 25 year old who owns a home! I own a car, no payment itās mine! I have a full time job, not great money but enough to invest in retirement and not live paycheck to paycheck. Why have I still convinced myself I am not good enough? Logically I know I should be more proud but emotions often win that battle

My partner passed away seven months ago. I decided to leave work to take things slow during this bereavement, while keeping expenses as low as possible so I donāt drain my savings as I adjust to life without him. The number of messages Iāve received from acquaintances and former-colleagues, not so much checking in on how Iām doing, but rather pestering me about my employment status, is insane.

Being a parent has been the biggest wake-up call I've ever had to slow down. One of my children is already a teenager, and my youngest is a baby still. Watching them hit their milestones in different ways makes me sit in those moments just a bit longer.

I literally grew in so many ways this year and I forget to stop and acknowledge how far Iāve come. I know where I want to be next year, but I think I can take a moment and rest and enjoy the life Iāve created for myself š thank you for the reminde

My running philospohy through my late teens and early 20s was "if im not learning, im not growing; if im not growing, im stagnating; stagnation is death If im not learning -> im dying Got me through dark times and a push to strive but burnt out and it stopped suiting my situation

Very true! Things are going to change ANYWAY. Nothing stays the same for long. Being content and enjoying how things are is a blessing.

We're not encouraged to "improve", generally. We're specifically encouraged to become more profitable for our bosses.

Needed this today because I am pushing through the exhaustion. I donāt need to go 75 MPH today, and my boss certainly has communicated to me that rest is OK and take the time if I need to, but I also canāt help speedingā¦. lol
