Episode 720: Are You Resting—or Escaping?

You can spend two hours on the couch and get up feeling more depleted than when you sat down.

You can also spend two hours moving, laughing, creating, walking outside, or doing something you love and somehow feel more energized afterward.

In this episode, we're exploring the difference between genuine restoration and checking out—and one question that can help you understand whether the thing you're calling "rest" is actually giving you what you need.
