Claim Your Rest

Claim your rest.

December 21, the shortest day of the year, reminds us that the constant churn of productivity cannot be sustained. The earth invites you to rest with her today.

Stop wearing your exhaustion like a badge of honor.

Take time to sleep, to laugh, to let the email sit, unanswered, while you sip tea and read a novel.

Leaders, share with your team how you are going to unplug and invite them to share how they will prioritize rest.

We have to normalize rest or reap the whirlwind: burnout, stagnating creativity, irritation and infighting.

If this year has taught us anything, it is that everything (our bodies, our economies, our coworkers) has a limit.

Honor yours today.
