All we truly need is simply to rest—not only the body, but also the mind, our nervous system. We cannot rest if everything we think about, while we are “resting,” is the things we should be doing, or the guilt we feel for not doing anything. We live in a society sick with productivity; we always want to do more, always want to have more, always have to be better, always have to “update” ourselves. At what cost? What is the cost of this on our mental health? What is the cost of this on our hearts?
