Girl mossing is a wellness trend emphasizing rest and rejecting the constant hustle culture for better mental health.

Summary

  1. Moss is slow, soft, pillowy, ideal for nestling into, and nurtures soil health; hence the term.
  2. Society’s fast pace disproportionately impacts women's and young people's wellbeing.
  3. Similar movements include Japan's moss appreciation and China's "lying flat" lifestyle.
