Take a Break: A Case for More Rest

Health Hackd Podcast

Contrary to what many Boomers believe, not all youngsters today are lazy. In fact, there are many people who struggle to relax at all because they feel that it is a waste of time. Whether this belief came from disappointed parents, or from binging too many Gary Vee videos on "hustling", that is still unclear. But what has become more clear is the detriment this mindset may have on mental health.
Today, we talk about the importance of rest on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. If you're someone who struggles to relax, this episode is for you.
