Hey, welcome back to Rooted&Real.

2
00:00:23.585 --> 00:00:27.578
And today we're going to talk about Rest.

3
00:00:29.602 --> 00:00:33.514
Okay, rest is not a reward.

4
00:00:33.608 --> 00:00:35.510
It's a requirement.

5
00:00:35.605 --> 00:00:37.669
You know rest? 'Kupumzika' (Resting).

6
00:00:38.087 --> 00:00:40.515
You don't have to earn rest.

7
00:00:40.609 --> 00:00:43.523
You don't have to burn out fast.

8
00:00:43.618 --> 00:00:46.518
You don't have to collapse fast.

9
00:00:46.612 --> 00:00:50.524
You don't have to deserve it by being exhausted, 'hapana' (no).

10
00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:54.531
Rest isn't something you get after you're empty.

11
00:00:54.625 --> 00:00:58.537
It's how you stay full.

12
00:00:58.632 --> 00:01:03.542
If you feel guilty for slowing down,

13
00:01:03.636 --> 00:01:07.548
there's something called 'Grind Culture'.

14
00:01:07.643 --> 00:01:09.545
That is what is talking.

15
00:01:09.639 --> 00:01:12.553
You're not a machine. You're a human.

16
00:01:12.648 --> 00:01:17.558
Humans need sleep. Humans need stillness.

17
00:01:17.652 --> 00:01:20.566
Humans need silence.

18
00:01:20.660 --> 00:01:23.574
Saying, "I'm tired!" is not weakness.

19
00:01:23.669 --> 00:01:26.569
It's actually wisdom.

20
00:01:26.663 --> 00:01:29.577
The world will take everything you give.

21
00:01:29.672 --> 00:01:34.582
Your job is to protect what you keep.

22
00:01:34.676 --> 00:01:37.590
So you take the nap. Log off.

23
00:01:37.685 --> 00:01:42.595
Say no to one more thing.

24
00:01:42.689 --> 00:01:45.590
Rest is resistance.

25
00:01:45.684 --> 00:01:49.596
Rest is holy.

26
00:01:49.690 --> 00:01:55.612
Rest is how you come back whole.

27
00:01:55.707 --> 00:01:58.607
You don't have to earn your breath.

28
00:01:58.702 --> 00:02:01.615
You just get to take it.

29
00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:04.624
Rest is not a reward. It's a requirement.

30
00:02:04.718 --> 00:02:06.620
Protect it.

31
00:02:06.715 --> 00:02:08.239
Thank you.
