🌙 Rest as Resistance: Why Your Recharge Fuels the Movement 🌙

We’re not meant to be exhausted soldiers in a never-ending fight.

We’re meant to be rooted, resourced, and responsive humans in a living, breathing movement.

Rest is not laziness.

It’s how your nervous system recalibrates.

It’s how your body metabolizes grief, anger, and urgency.

It’s how you return to center — so your “yes” is full and your voice is true.

In a world that asks us to grind for justice while neglecting our own wellbeing,

rest becomes a radical act.

Not because you’ve “earned it,” but because you’re alive.

Because your body — your soft, electric, wise body — is the bridge between your values and your voice.

Somatic practice teaches us this:

If we are always reacting, we cannot root.

If we are always pushing, we cannot feel.

And if we cannot feel… we lose access to the depth that fuels sustainable change.

So today, pause.

Feel your breath.

Feel your feet.

Feel where life is still whispering under the noise.

Because the movement needs your fire —

but it also needs your stillness,

your capacity to receive,

your deep, regulated YES.

You don’t have to burn out to prove you care.

You don’t have to be loud every day to be powerful.

Let your rest be part of the revolution.

We rise better when we rest together.
