If resting makes you feel anxious, congratulations—you’ve trained your nervous system to believe productivity is safety.
So when you finally sit down, your brain helpfully reminds you of:
• The washing
• The unanswered message
• That embarrassing thing you said in 2014
• Seventeen jobs that absolutely do not need doing tonight
Don’t wait until rest feels comfortable.
Start with ten intentional minutes and let the discomfort be there.
Your nervous system learns safety by experiencing it repeatedly—not by waiting until it magically agrees.
