Rest as Resistance

Embracing Stillness in Uncertain Times With so much happening in our country right now, it’s easy to feel like we should be doing more—staying informed, taking action, holding everything together. But when we ignore our need for rest, we risk burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. In this talk, I share my personal experience with pushing past my limits and what I’ve learned about rest as a necessary act of self-preservation, not a luxury. We’ll explore why rest feels so hard, how to let go of guilt, and simple ways to restore your energy—whether through meditation, mindful pauses, or aromatherapy. You are worthy of rest, and you don’t have to do this alone. Get full access to Meditate with Deb | Peaceful Wellness at debphelps.substack.com/subscribe
