“Treating each other and ourselves with care isn’t a luxury, but an absolute necessity if we’re going to thrive. Resting isn’t an afterthought, but a basic part of being human.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“We must believe we are worthy of rest. We don’t have to earn it. It is our birthright. It is one of our most ancient and primal needs.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“…when you slowly begin to believe and understand your inherent worth, rest becomes possible in many ways.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“Nothing we accomplish in life is totally free of the influence of spirit and community. We do nothing alone.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“The Rest Is Resistance framework also does not believe in the toxic idea that we are resting to recharge and rejuvenate so we can be prepared to give more output to capitalism. What we have internalized as productivity has been informed by a capitalist, ableist, patriarchal system. Our drive and obsession to always be in a state of “productivity” leads us to the path of exhaustion, guilt, and shame. We falsely believe we are not doing enough and that we must always be guiding our lives toward more labor. The distinction that must be repeated as many times as necessary is this: We are not resting to be productive. We are resting simply because it is our divine right to do so.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto
