Working Again, Gently

Working Again, Gently

There is pressure to snap back.

To prove readiness. To match momentum instantly.

But work doesn’t reward force the way it pretends to.

Gentle returns last longer. They allow rhythm to rebuild. They make space for attention instead of exhaustion.

You don’t need a reset.
You need permission.

Permission to slow the first day. To ease into focus. To let work meet you where you are — not where you were before the break.
