Скачать или смотреть Why You Feel Guilty Resting When You’re Sick | Productivity Guilt

This video is heavily inspired by my own inner dialogue from when I was sick last week — more on the personal in the video.
But first… if you’ve ever been sick — like genuinely unwell — and still couldn’t rest…
Not because you had somewhere to be, but because your mind wouldn’t let you…
Because for so many of us, rest doesn’t feel relaxing — it feels unsafe.
And the guilt isn’t random… it has layers: hustle culture, people-pleasing, nervous system patterns, and (for many South Asian women) learned conditioning around being “useful” even when unwell.
In this video, we explore:
✅ Why “productivity guilt” hits hardest when you’re sick
✅ Hustle culture + the belief that rest must be earned
✅ The South Asian “good girl” layer: duty, service, and fear of being a nuisance
✅ The Ayurveda lens: how Vāta imbalance can create mental restlessness
✅ The IFS lens: guilt as a protector part (not the truth of who you are)
✅ One grounding practice to settle the mind so the body can actually rest
