A client once told me her massage was a “reward” for sticking with her workout routine.
And while I understood what she meant… it also made me think about how often we treat care and rest like something we have to earn.
You are allowed to take care of yourself simply because you are a person who deserves care.
Not because you were productive enough.
Not because you worked hard enough.
Not because you finally hit burnout.
Rest, care, and support aren’t indulgences reserved for after we’ve depleted ourselves completely. They’re part of being human. 💚
You don’t have to earn rest.
