The 7 Types Of Rest You Need

Do you feel tired even after a night (or weekend) of rest?

Sadly, it applies to most of us (and even more so for empaths and those in the Highly Sensitive community), and I recently learned from an illuminating TEDx Talk by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, author of Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity, this is because we have confused the concept of sleep and rest.

It sounds counterintuitive, but resting has made an incredible difference to my energy levels and more productive in various areas of life that matter most (family, home, work, relationships etc).

Rest is productive. Hmm after 14 days of covid I need to change my mind set about rest. I will practice being restful

I hope I get to meet you someday and we can discuss what a gem you are!

Does it resonate with me? Of course! Its just after 3 am! Soldiers as s habit “ SHIFT TIME” into OTHER TIME ZONES! ( Im on North east asian time right now! My friend from VietNam is 30 minutes before me. ( Southeast asian time) I also stopped dreaming, many years ago. Its not easy being an empath!

Sometimes I feel physically drained of energy, and I take a nap. When I feel mentally tired I take a meditation or go out for a walk, nature is reviving me. Thank you🙏❤️🙏

Creative and spiritual rest needed badly. Thank you so much.

Love all the kinds of rest ... including social and creative. NAMASTE. I need more nature rest! I'm only a few steps to my koi and I haven't been visiting them. And when I do I'm on my phone!

This was very informative, thank you Rebecca ✨💓💓

Wow
This clarifies what i need to focus on
I love it ~ #4 ~ sensory rest is lacking for me
Thank you!

So affirming & enlightening to hear this, Rebecca🙏🏻🌸💝
I do a lot of these & never realised that they could be considered as types of rest. Explains how I cope so much better these days. Have shared with my family. 💟

Thank you…hadn’t thought about all the different ways to support myself with rest.
