Animals and insects have taught me a lot about rest and self-care. If you watch them, from dogs to cows to insects, they have immaculate rest and self-care routines. They don't grind all day and then rest only at the end of the day when fully exhausted. They make many pitstops throughout their daily effort to rest and groom. We are the exception, not the norm :)
