How Do I Let Myself Rest?

from We're All Growing Together Hosted by Leah Goldstein

It seems silly to make an episode about rest: you lay down at the end of each day, go to sleep, wake up, and do it all over again. However, rest has many more layers than simply hitting the pillow each night. Can you think of how many times you have advised someone to give themselves a break, take a day off, or allow themselves to say no to something they felt obliged towards? Why can’t we give ourselves that same energy? It’s more important than ever to advocate for mental health resources and daily routines that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being and this episode is dedicated to learning how to let yourself rest. To find out how can achieve deep restfulness, I sat down with Anna Ghinea, a 22-year-old photographer and influencer with over 16,000 followers and 1 million likes on her Tik Tok account @annajasmineee. She is not only super passionate about mental health and uplifting others, but is here to help you make time for yourself.
