Far too many of us feel ashamed of resting, for various reasons including trauma, the culture we live in, and the way we were raised.

Unlearning that isn't easy. It's so important to remind ourselves that rest isn't something we earn, it's something we require in order to be able to do all the things we need to do. Especially if we have extra demands on us in some way.

Rest is not a reward. Resting is an action, one that is essential to our wellbeing. And, in a culture that demands we work ourselves to death, rest is resistance. In a culture that prioritises "The Hustle", resting is punk as fuck!

A pale green and blue gradient background, with a snail silhouette in the top left corner, and black writing that reads: NOVA SEILCHEAG, THE NEUROQUEERING SNAIL, SAYS... Rest is not a reward Rest is vital, especially if you have a chronic condition. It's not fair you have to rest more but it does make it even more important It's OK to be frustrated if you need more rest than other people, try to rest anyway When you're resting you're not "Doing nothing", you're RESTING! You deserve to rest, no matter what the Shame Goblin is telling you (Each statement has a snail emoji at the start.)

Slowly, slowly, working on my stamina and capacity after months of brain fog and years of burnout.

I'm glad I held off pushing myself til now, when Imbolc and spring are on the way. Midwinter is no time to be doing more!

Part of building stamina, for me, is learning when to rest, to avoid burning back out again. I do learn, eventually! 😂

I've done a lot today, so now it's DS9, knitting, and a nap.
