For Rest

← Back to Blessings

For the moments when your body, mind, or spirit is asking you to stop.

May you release the idea that rest must be earned through exhaustion.

May the unfinished things wait without becoming evidence against you.

May your breathing soften, your shoulders lower, and your body remember that it is safe to pause.

Rest is not a reward. It is part of being alive.

Take This With You: I do not have to finish everything before I am allowed to rest.

A Blessing for the Part of You Still Keeping Watch

For the part of you still keeping watch when the day is done.

Rest does not have to be another thing I get right.
