Rest ≠ entertainment
I want to remind someone, including myself, that rest ≠ entertainment.
Nowadays, entertainment often steals and drains your energy, time, and money. Even if you get it “free” through doomscrolling reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts, what you actually pay is your usage behavior. Yes, Meta, Google, and ByteDance understand this. There is no truly free lunch.
On the other hand, rest is more powerful, bringing you inner and outer peace. Activities like meditation, early sleep, power naps, or simply walking in the park during golden hour can be restorative.
We often get confused and seek instant gratification, which leads us down the wrong path. I don’t want you to choose the wrong path again.
