You don’t have a rest problem.You have a worth problem in pajamas.Most people don’t realize this until they’ve already failed at recovery. They take time off, unplug, do everything “right”… and come back just as broken. Sometimes worse, because now they’re disappointed they couldn’t even rest properly.Because here’s the truth:Rest can’t repair an identity that burnout built.I learned this the hard way. Years of weekends off, “digital detoxes,” even a sabbatical.But every Monday morning, the same
