Darling, You Are Allowed to Rest 💞💕

Rest is not something you have to earn. It’s not a luxury. It’s your birthright.

In a world that glorifies exhaustion and rewards constant productivity, choosing rest becomes more than self-care, it becomes an act of courage. An act of resistance. And most importantly, an act of healing.

You don’t need to explain why you’re tired.
You don’t need to finish the to-do list first.
You don’t need to prove how much you’ve given before you choose to pause.

🌿 You Are Not Lazy: You Are Tired

Maybe you’re tired emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually.
Maybe your mind has been racing for weeks. Maybe your shoulders have been carrying more than they should.
Maybe you’ve been holding space for everyone else, without anyone holding space for you.

Whatever it is, you’re allowed to stop.

You are allowed to lie down.
You are allowed to not be available for a while.
You are allowed to leave things undone if it means protecting your peace.

✨ Let This Be Your Permission Slip

Let this be your invitation to:

• Take a long, deep breath and unclench your jaw

• Say no without guilt

• Take a nap in the middle of the day

• Choose softness over striving

• Do nothing, and still be worthy and gorgeous

Darling,
You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to exhale.
You are allowed to be still, to feel, to heal, and to just be.

You do not need to exhaust yourself to be valuable. You do not need to earn rest by breaking down first.

You are enough. You’ve always been enough.

And you are allowed to rest fully, unapologetically, and often.
