#53 Beyond Sleep: The 7 Types Of Rest You Didn’t Know You Needed
Description
[Video available on YouTube]
In this episode, we explore why rest is so much more than just a break from work—it’s a shift away from that all-or-northing, individualistic, capitalistic mindset. When we learn to truly rest, we connect with ourselves, others, and the world. I’ll walk you through the seven types of rest and share practical ways to integrate them into your daily life so you can thrive without burning out.
In this episode, we cover:
- Physical Rest: Allowing the body to recharge through both sleep and active relaxation.
- Mental Rest: Quieting the mind and breaking free from constant overthinking.
- Sensory Rest: Reducing sensory overload from screens, lights, and noise.
- Creative Rest: Reigniting inspiration through art, nature, and beauty.
- Emotional Rest: Creating space to process feelings without judgment.
- Social Rest: Balancing time with energising connections over draining ones.
- Spiritual Rest: Finding meaning and purpose beyond productivity.
By reimagining rest as a necessity, we’re also pushing back against societal pressures to always “do more.” Join me in this episode to redefine rest as an act of resistance against burnout culture—and a pathway to a life that’s aligned, intentional, and fulfilling.
