<p>What’s something that really helps you feel energized in the morning?</p> <p>Do you ever give yourself a moment to reset during the day?</p> <p>Today, Jay shares a powerful reminder, rest isn’t something you need to earn, it’s something you absolutely need. If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking a break or felt like you had to justify a vacation, this conversation challenges that mindset and offers a refreshing shift. Rest is not a luxury, it's the fuel for everything we do. Just like your phone needs to recharge, your body, mind, and soul require consistent, intentional recovery.</p> <p>Jay offers simple, practical habits you can start using right away to feel more rested and centered. From scheduling micro-breaks throughout your day, trying out the box breathing method, to practicing the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique to bring yourself back to the moment, these tools are small shifts that can make a big difference. You’ll also be encouraged to create tech-free spaces, embrace short daily walks in nature, and carve out intentional pauses in your schedule.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Schedule Micro-Breaks Every 60–90 Minutes</p> <p>How to Redefine Rest as a Need, Not a Reward</p> <p>How to Release Guilt and Shame Around Taking Breaks</p> <p>How to Hydrate and Refocus During Short Breaks</p> <p>How to Reframe Rest as a Tool for Productivity and Creativity</p> <p>Making space to breathe, reflect, and recover won’t just help you feel better, it will help you show up better, think clearer, and live more purposefully.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.
