Hey, welcome back to Rooted&Real.
And today we're going to talk about Rest.
Okay, rest is not a reward.
It's a requirement.
You know rest? 'Kupumzika' (Resting).
You don't have to earn rest.
You don't have to burn out fast.
You don't have to collapse fast.
You don't have to deserve it by being exhausted, 'hapana' (no).
Rest isn't something you get after you're empty.
It's how you stay full.
If you feel guilty for slowing down,
there's something called 'Grind Culture'.
That is what is talking.
You're not a machine. You're a human.
Humans need sleep. Humans need stillness.
Humans need silence.
Saying, "I'm tired!" is not weakness.
It's actually wisdom.
The world will take everything you give.
Your job is to protect what you keep.
So you take the nap. Log off.
Say no to one more thing.
Rest is resistance.
Rest is holy.
Rest is how you come back whole.
You don't have to earn your breath.
You just get to take it.
Rest is not a reward. It's a requirement.
Protect it.
Thank you.
