In this episode, we’ll explore the restorative powers of deep rest -- a quiet, safe, still space that helps re-energize just about every part of your life. Through deep rest, you heal yourself all the way to the cellular level and find a new vitality that helps you be more creative and focused.
After a month of heavy life transitions, I found myself needing to rest, not sleep or distraction, but a sort of surrendering. And a few days later, I reaped the rewards of rest with greater clarity and positive energy. I also reintroduced myself to the mindful, wonderfulness of cozy, restful time in bed.
If you’ve been running on empty, this episode is a gentle reminder that you can and should press pause sometimes.
In this episode, I explore:
- What deep, restorative rest is and how it's different from sleep.
- How periods of rest help restore your creativity and energy as you let go of control.
- How rest impacts your nervous system (especially the fight or flight response) and can contribute to longevity by having a positive impact on your body at the cellular level
- The 7 types of rest, with examples of activities in each category; one or more will no doubt speak to you
- Journal prompts to help you identify which type of rest you need, giving you time to reflect on your need for rest
Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.
