Catch up with any friend, and the phrase will inevitably come up: “I’ve just been so busy!” In the chaos of today, our lives can feel overbooked, our schedules jam-packed, and our sleep ever-shrinking. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Well+Good’s Rest Issue, we’re inviting you to step back, slow down, and examine what it means to find downtime—and actually enjoy it.
Relaxation can be a boon for our mental, physical, and emotional health; the studies prove it, and you already know it. But we also understand that life’s countless obligations don’t exactly account for rest. So to help bridge that gap, we’re taking a look at ways you can set small rest goals, avoid burnout, and even use micro-meditations to find a bit of calm in your day.
Because we’ll say it again: You deserve a break. Now here’s how to get one.
This week’s horoscope is full of highs and lows—and you might feel unsettled at the start of the week when Mercury in Libra slams into Pluto in Capricorn.
