Most of us spend our weekends catching up on laundry, emails, errands, or even unfinished work. But true rest isn’t about getting ahead. It’s about slowing down. If your weekends feel like survival mode rather than restoration, it’s time for a reset. The hustle culture taught us to fill every minute with something productive, but your nervous system needs gentleness, not pressure. These six habits aren’t productivity hacks. They’re small shifts that allow your body and mind to recover deeply. Because when you truly rest, you restore your energy, and that fuels everything else in your life.
