If rest makes you restless, your body isnât broken.
Itâs doing exactly what it was đđżđŽđśđťđ˛đą to do.
When a nervous system has learned to stay alert, stillness doesnât feel like relief
it feels like exposure.
Silence feels unsafe.
Slowing down feels like losing control.
So the body tightens.
The mind races.
And rest becomes something you endure instead of receive.
This isnât because youâre resisting peace.
Itâs because peace was never modeled as safe.
Trust is built slowly.
Not through forcing stillness
but through being met inside it.
Your body isnât behind.
Itâs waiting for safety before it softens.
𫶠If this resonated, save this for the days rest feels hard
