Rest Builds Resilience - Combatting the John Henry Trap
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of constant productivity, feeling guilty at the mere thought of taking a break? That nagging voice saying you're lazy if you rest, or the fear that everything will fall apart if you step away? You're not alone. Breaking free from productivity addiction requires recognizing that your worth isn't measured by output. Your value exists independent of what you produce.
In this episode explores how important rest is to our mind, body and spirit. Rest isn't laziness or weakness—it's essential maintenance. Drawing on the folk legend of John Henry, we examine how this "John Henryism" syndrome particularly impacts Black men, contributing to alarming rates of heart disease, hypertension, and mental health challenges.
