Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Restful Body, Restful Mind. Top Story - January 2022.
In a hectic modern world, rest may seem fleeting to most. We are expected to do, do, do with all the increasing demands in our careers, our relationships and even our personal growth. There seems to be an industry for everything nowadays, always pointing towards a problem. What if I were to tell you that there actually is quite a simple solution to our day-to-day problems. That solution, my friend, is rest.

Why And How a Person Becomes a "Rescuer" (No, It's Not a Good Thing)
Female saviors often describe their partner as a bum or drunkard, impotent or aggressor. Sometimes all these qualities are combined in one person. With a grin and sadness in her eyes, the woman admits that she understands the absurdity of what is happening. When viewed from the outside, her behavior is completely illogical, but as if some unknown force makes her stay in a relationship. In Agnia Barto's poem about a bear with a torn paw, the girl says: “I won’t leave him anyway, because he’s good.”

New Year's Reset
Of course, it’s the first year where I don’t try to make a New Year’s resolution that one falls into my lap unbidden. We all know how resolutions tend to go; they hang out for a week or so before you’re back to old habits - now with the added guilt of failure on top. Well, as a chronic goal-failer, I’d decided to simply not set a resolution for this year, and to just let things happen as they saw fit to happen. I’m mentally ill and disabled, with severe chronic pain, and year-long goals have just never been very achievable for me. Sometimes my brain, sometimes my body, sometimes all of me will just shut down and I will lose all momentum, coming to a screeching halt as I drop my plans like hot potatoes. So no, I’d decided, no huge lifestyle changes this year. No pressure to maintain momentum, and no guilt to feel when it inevitably all falls apart.

Prioritizing Rest
Who has time to rest? We are fed this attitude like resting is for the uber-rich or super lazy. That we “normal” people don’t deserve and can’t afford to rest. You have heard the phrase, “Time is money.” Yet, innately we all know, we all feel, resting is a necessity.

Self-Care
For as long as I can remember, I never thought to put self-care, rest, sleep or anything in that sense in the forefront of my resolutions. I always thought maybe some thing a little more cliché like losing weight, saving, budgeting, doing better in that sense was the right choice. I’ve always been one to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day life that rest came when I felt I had time. Now for someone who buried themselves in work, time definitely wasn’t on my side. I had to learn the hard way how imperative rest was. Not only for my physical health, but for my mental health as well. It wasn’t until I was on the verge of a complete mental breakdown that I realized I was worn out and exhausted.
