Have you ever tried to fix an ongoing lack of energy by getting more sleep — only to do so and still feel exhausted?
Even if you are receiving a good night’s rest, you might not feel rested in the morning. Despite the fact that many of us mistakenly think that sleep and rest are the same thing, they are not.
There are seen (7) different types of rest to consider:
#1 Physical Rest
Stretching, sleep or power naps, massages
#2 Mental Rest
Social media detox, taking breaks, drain dump your thoughts
#3 Emotional Rest
Start therapy, journaling, stop the comparison game
#4 Social Rest
Alone time, quality time with people, say no more often
#5 Spiritual Rest
Meditation, voluntary work, contemplation
#6 Sensory Rest
Dim lights, sit in silence, noise-cancelling headphones
#7 Creative Rest
Walks, go to a gallery, hang joyful pictures
