Rest is a right that you have. Rest is not a reward. You don't have to work really hard or earn the privilege to rest. Your body sometimes needs rest and it's a right that you have to rest when you need it, okay? You don't have to earn it. You don't have to tell yourself that you haven't deserved this downtime.
Ever feel guilty about needing extra rest? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura Lummer dives into the often-overlooked importance of napping for breast cancer survivors. Laura, a two-time breast cancer survivor herself, knows firsthand how draining the treatment can be and how crucial it is to listen to your body's need for rest. She breaks down the difference between sleep and rest, explaining why both are essential for recovery.
Drawing from her personal journey and scientific research, Laura sheds light on why fatigue lingers long after treatment ends and how napping can actually boost your health. From tackling menopause-related tiredness to understanding the biological impacts of cancer treatment, she covers it all. With a compassionate and practical approach, Laura offers tips on how to incorporate power naps into your daily routine without feeling guilty. She reminds us that giving yourself permission to rest is not just okay, it's vital.
Tune in, grab a cozy blanket, and learn how embracing rest can be a game-changer in your healing journey.
