Description

If rest feels like a luxury item on your to-do list, this episode is for you. Avoiding burnout isn't just about doing less—it's about resting on more than one level. As a work-from-home entrepreneur juggling business and family, you need more than sleep to stay energized and focused.

In this episode, you'll learn:
- The seven types of rest every entrepreneur needs to avoid burnout
- Why sleep alone isn't enough to restore your energy
- 10-minute practical ideas for each type of rest
- How to build rest into your daily routines without losing time
- Why intentional rest is a business strategy, not a reward

Key Topics Covered:
- Physical rest: stretching, power naps, and gentle movement (00:02:00 )
- Mental rest: brain dumps, single-tasking, and reading fiction (00:03:00 )
- Social rest: protecting your energy during holiday season (00:04:24 )
- Spiritual rest: meditation, gratitude, and grounding practices (00:05:00 )
- Emotional rest: journaling, therapy, and honest conversations (00:05:55 )
- Sensory rest: reducing screen time and visual clutter (00:06:15 )
- Creative rest: inspiration walks and creativity for fun (00:07:00 )

Reset & Reclaim Action Step:
Pick one type of rest you've been neglecting. Schedule it for 10 minutes a day this week. Set an alarm if you have to. The goal isn't perfection—it's awareness and consistency.
