What is rest?

This is a question I have been pondering recently.

I used to think that rest was sleeping, or sitting quietly, not doing anything. But now I don't think that is always true.

Rest, for me, is doing sonething that helps me feel better.

So knitting/crochet is rest,
doing an escape room is rest,
watching the stars is rest
etc

Yet, there is still a bit of me that feels guilty about "doing things when I should be resting"

Brains. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
