“sleep helps you wake up—it helps you wake up to the truth of who and what you are.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“Fear and scarcity are a big part of how the culture keeps us bound up in the hamster wheel.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“Resting can look like: Closing your eyes for ten minutes. A longer shower in silence. Meditating on the couch for twenty minutes. Daydreaming by staring out of a window. Sipping warm tea before bed in the dark. Slow dancing with yourself to slow music. Experiencing a Sound Bath or other sound healing. A Sun Salutation. A twenty-minute timed nap. Praying. Crafting a small altar for your home. A long, warm bath. Taking regular breaks from social media. Not immediately responding to texts and emails. Deep listening to a full music album. A meditative walk in nature. Knitting, crocheting, sewing, and quilting. Playing a musical instrument. Deep eye contact. Laughing intensely. Rest simplified my life.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“You are worthy of rest. We don’t have to earn rest. Rest is not a luxury, a privilege, or a bonus we must wait for once we are burned out.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto
