Rest or avoidance? How to differentiate between the two
In a world that glorifies constant motion, rest has become both a remedy and a refuge. We’re encouraged to slow down, log off, take breaks, and protect our energy. And for many of us, that advice is necessary. Exhaustion is real. Burnout is real.
