If Resting Makes You Feel Guilty, Watch This

Can't sit down without feeling guilty? Your brain isn't broken — it's running programming that says rest equals failure. If you grew up learning that productivity equals worth, rest feels dangerous. This video explains why your nervous system treats doing nothing like committing a crime, and how to finally give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

What's really happening:
Your amygdala treats rest as a threat (because it was coded as dangerous in childhood)
Productivity culture taught you that worth = output
Rest triggers the same guilt as violating a moral rule
Your brain confuses rest with laziness because of inherited work ethic trauma
Cognitive function requires rest — you're sabotaging productivity by refusing to stop

This isn't about being lazy. It's about unlearning the lie that you're only valuable when you're producing.
