Reframe What It Means to Rest When You Cannot Stop Feeling Guilty About It

You cannot rest without feeling like you should be working. The feeling makes you rest badly even when you do it. This identifies the belief behind the guilt, shows you the performance cost in your own description, and gives you one sentence to say to yourself when it arrives.
