The False Rest

Recognizing the difference between being distracted and deeply regenerating.

On Saturdays we delude ourselves into thinking we are resting, but we often merely replace the stress of work with the noise of distractions (scrolling social media or filling every hour with forced social commitments so as not to feel the void).

True rest is never a state of escape or anesthesia. It is a lucid and vibrant return to your silent nature. Allow yourself today to sit in non-doing. Let your attention rest at the bottom of that inner lake where absolutely nothing needs to be solved.

Can you allow yourself to spend an entire hour today without consuming any information?
