Caring for ourselves requires more than just responding to life’s major events—it’s about combining rest and action throughout the day, every day, particularly in difficult times. Whether facing a health concern like breast cancer, managing stress, or tackling the demands of everyday life, making space for rest while taking steps to support your well-being is essential.

Conscious leaders understand the need to pause and rejuvenate while also moving forward with actions that promote health. This October, let your awareness guide you on the path of wellness—schedule that appointment, connect with loved ones, or take a moment to nap or meditate.

In times of uncertainty, it’s okay not to have all the answers. As the “I Don’t Know” Courage Card reminds us, the mind often swings between certainty and fear, searching for solutions. But when you embrace the quiet of not-knowing, you open yourself to curiosity and possibility. Rest invites you into this stillness—where you can step out of anxiety and into the present moment.

Rest gives you the energy to take the steps that matter. You don’t need to have the answer to start. You deserve both.
