The Albertian News Letter 01

Try this

ancient remedy:

When you are tired, rest.

The world constantly tells us

to hustle. To work harder, longer,

stronger. Hustling is placed at the

highest rung in things prioritized

by the society. While working is

important, we often times do the

mistake of undermining rest. A

toxic hustle culture tries to

associate rest with weakness and

tries to induce a sense of shame

and anxiety into the idea of rest.

We need rest. Rest is rejuvenation

and enhancing the body and

mind's capacity to be at peace and

reflect on one's current state of

being. We must never undermine

our body's need for rest, and our

mind's. Give your self a break

w h e n y o u n e e d o n e .

You deserve it.
