Rest

Rest in Stillness

1 to 3 minutes

Choose this when…

Movement feels like too much or your body is asking for less.

Illustration demonstrating Rest in Stillness, resting in a supported position.

Try this

  1. Find a position that feels supported—seated, lying down or leaning against something steady.
  2. Let your eyes remain open, soften your gaze or close them. Choose what feels best.
  3. Notice the places where your body is being supported.
  4. You do not need to change your breathing or make yourself relax.
  5. For this moment, there is nothing you need to achieve.

Notice

What happens when rest is treated as a valid form of caring for yourself?
