✨ Rest vs. Avoidance ✨
They can look similar on the outside—but they feel very different on the inside.
🌿 Rest is intentional. It recharges your mind and body so you can return with more clarity and energy.
🌪️ Avoidance is fueled by anxiety or fear. It gives temporary relief but usually increases stress in the long run.
💡 Ask yourself: Am I choosing this break to care for myself—or to run from something I’m afraid to face?
Both are human, but only one truly restores. Today, give yourself permission to rest—not avoid. 💛
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” - Matthew 11:28-30
