Your rest is sacred.Not earned. Not extra. Not up for negotiation.
This month, thousands of you resonated with these words:“Some people aren’t stuck because they stopped praying.They’re stuck because they stopped resting.”
You felt it.Because exhaustion isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.
Rest as Strategy
At Black Girl Sabbaticals, we teach that rest isn’t simply recovery. It’s a radical practice of leadership.
When you pause, you don’t lose momentum—you reclaim your power.When you rest, you don’t fall behind—you rise aligned.
This is the essence of our Theology of Rest™:
Rest as revolution
Soft power as leadership
Sabbath as strategy
A Rest Practice for You
Today, ask your body: “What kind of rest am I avoiding?”
Then listen.And take one sacred step toward it.
Sometimes leadership begins with a nap. Sometimes it’s a boundary. Sometimes it’s silence. Whatever your answer, honor it.
