In a society where we feel like we are constantly on a hamster wheel chasing after the next opportunity, working through the next challenge in our career, or finding our healthiest self it may be hard to know when or how to step off and find time to pause and rest. But the fear of rest can be one that keeps us going long after there is no more fuel to keep us moving, and can potentially be more detrimental to our health than we think.

The WEforum Fit Crawl is hosted in partnership with Monmouth Medical Center/RWJ Barnabas Health! Buy Fit Crawl Tickets Here! Register...
