If rest makes you panic, this one’s for you.
In this episode of My Brain’s a Mess (And That’s Okay), we unpack why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable—sometimes even terrifying. If your nervous system equates stillness with danger, you’re not lazy or broken. You’re likely conditioned to stay in motion because that’s where safety used to live.
We’ll talk about the real reasons rest feels hard, how productivity became a coping strategy, and what to do when your body craves calm but your brain hits the gas.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why your brain resists rest (even when you’re exhausted)
The link between hypervigilance, trauma, and over-functioning
Gentle, body-first ways to practice slowing down without panic
