Comfort and wellness are not always asking for the same decision.

What is comfortable now and what is good for you frequently point in different directions, and neither one is always right. Sometimes comfort is exactly what is needed, and sometimes it is the thing quietly making next year harder. The skill is telling which situation you are in rather than always obeying one.

When a choice comes down to ease, ask what the version of you in five years would prefer. Then decide. Sometimes rest genuinely wins, and that is fine.
