A Reminder to Rest in a Chaotic World

Beloved,

The world has a way of pulling us in every direction at once.

Deadlines whisper. Notifications shout. Even our silence hums with pressure to be more, do more, produce more.

But rest—real rest—has always been a radical act.

It is not laziness, nor is it luxury. It’s a return. A way of remembering that you were not created to live in constant reaction to chaos.

When the noise outside grows louder than the voice within, rest becomes your sanctuary.

It is the soft space where you meet yourself again.

It is the pause that reminds you: your worth was never attached to your output.

🖤Ritual for the Week:

Before reaching for your phone tomorrow morning, place your hand over your heart and breathe in for four counts. Whisper, “I am safe. I am guided. I am held.” Let that begin your entry for the day in your Rest & Reflect Journal.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, take our Rest Archetype Quiz. It’s a mirror for where you are and a map for what your spirit needs.

With radical rest + soft power,

Kristen Renee Ingram
