A recent trip to Guyana helped Nzinga finally understand something she'd only sensed before, that the slow pace she noticed there wasn't just culture, it was survival in the heat. She connects that to all of us: rushing signals threat to the body, rest signals safety, and constant hurry can quietly become "dis-ease." She shares what her own rest day looks like and gives readers a simple assignment, plan one of their own.

Self-improvement is a big and important step. Always remember that it's about the journey... try to enjoy in on the way to your next destination.
