Coffee can’t fix everything… but 20 minutes of rest might.
So many times I’ve grabbed a coffee and pushed through, even when I was completely depleted, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Can you relate?
It’s not our fault; we live in a culture that glorifies busyness, rewards constant doing, and bombards us with the idea that rest is lazy or selfish.
I often resist rest, but this mentality doesn't serve me or anyone else. And it’s worth asking: what’s the real cost of always being busy?
For me, practicing yoga is a radical act, and rest is a vital part of that practice.
When I take even a 20-minute savasana, it allows me to show up more fully in my work, be more present with the people I love, and be more compassionate in all my interactions. In that way, savasana becomes both a gift I give myself and the world at the same time.
Here’s a 20-minute guided savasana for you. Just roll out your mat, lie down, and give yourself permission to rest. I’d love to hear how you feel afterward.
