The Healing Power of Stillness: Why Rest Is an Active Part of Wellness

For years, I used to believe that rest was something you earned only after pushing yourself to the limit. I was the quintessential over achiever, type A, stay up til 2am and wake at 8am to go to my first of three jobs for the day kinda gal. I wore busyness like a badge of honor—always going, always producing, always giving. But my body eventually told me the truth: running on empty is not sustainable. Illness, exhaustion, and stress became my teachers, guiding me to discover what I had been missing all along—rest is not passive. Rest is active healing and it’s one of the most difficult lessons I’ve ever had to learn.

Why Wellness Matters To Me

I’ve been a massage therapist for 8 years, a yoga instructor for 5 years and a Reiki practitioner for 18 years. Wellness has been a part of my life since my young adulthood and I’ve made it my life’s work to help others find a higher standard of wellness in their own lives. Hell, I even put the world wellness in my business name! Why does it really matter to me though? This has never really been a question I thought the public needed answered because I made the incorrect assumption that it was obvious but not everyone’s life revolves around this subject and it got me thinking. Why does wellness matter so much to me? Why do I care so much about other people’s wellness? This is a very personal question we can ask ourselves to gain better understanding into why we do what we do, why we have certain habits and why we are motivated to live the way we do.
