The Garden Bench

You do not have to improve anything for the next minute.

Nothing is required of you here.

A nurse in sage-colored scrubs sits on a wooden garden bench with eyes closed and hands resting in their lap. Misty evergreen trees stand in the background, ferns grow beside the bench, and a warm mug sits on the seat. There is no clipboard, phone, laptop, or task list anywhere.
Nothing is wrong with this picture.

This space is empty on purpose.

The garden grows while you rest, too.

The bench will be here.
Return when you’re ready

If today is heavier than a bench can hold, you can call or text 988 in the U.S., any time. In an emergency, call 911.
