Rest Is a Power Move: Why Slowing Down Helps Us Shine Brighter
Rest Is a Power Move: Why Slowing Down Helps Us Shine Brighter
Let’s talk about something we don’t hear often enough:
You don’t have to be “on” all the time to be worthy.
At Amor of GLaM, we believe that rest isn’t a reward—it’s part of the routine. In fact, rest is one of the boldest self-care moves you can make. Why? Because we live in a world that celebrates hustle over healing, busy over balance. But what if your power came not from how much you do—but from how well you pause?
A Real-Life Reset
This past year, our founder Tiara made a life-changing decision. As a full-time nurse and mom of four, she was juggling it all. The stress of work started to chip away at her peace, her patience, and her presence with her family. And one day, she realized something had to give.
So she made a powerful choice:
She left the job.
She chose rest.
She chose purpose.
Now, she pours that same energy into Amor of GLaM—creating products and experiences that teach kids (and parents!) that rest is not weakness—it’s wisdom. That taking care of yourself isn’t something you squeeze in at the end of the day, it’s something you build your day around.
So What Does Rest Look Like?
Rest doesn’t always mean naps and bubble baths (although those are great!). Sometimes rest is…
🌿 Saying no to one more obligation.
💬 Turning off your phone for an hour.
🛑 Not overexplaining why you need a minute.
💖 Sitting on the floor with your child just to be present.
It’s teaching your kids that emotions matter. That slowing down doesn’t make you fall behind—it helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
