5 easy types of rest in daily life 💜

Have you ever slept 7+ hours but still felt EXHAUSTED? Me too. While sleeping is physical rest, you actually need 5 types of rest to avoid burnout.

So stay at your best with these 5 types of rest:

1. Physical Rest

Lack of sleep and overtraining deplete your body's energy.

Get two types of physical rest, passive and active:

Passive

• Sleep 7+ hrs nightly

• Take power naps (as needed)

Active

• Stretch

• Get a massage. Massage therapy is proven to reduce stress and anxiety and can even increase your serotonin levels over time, according to scientists.

• Use an ergonomic chair + desk

2. Mental Rest

Mental rest deficit is caused by overtaxing your thinking.

• Write down your to-dos

• Reference checklists (packing, groceries, etc.)

• Create a shutdown ritual to separate work and life

• Take a break from problem-solving

• Meditate

3. Social Rest

Evaluate your relationships.

• Spend more time with people who give you energy

• Spend less time with people who steal your energy

• If you're an introvert, block out time to be alone

4.Sensory Rest

The modern individual is overstimulated.

• Take a break from social media

• Turn off notifications (sounds and visual alerts)

• Limit video meetings

• Set a relaxing evening ambiance (soothing music, candles, etc.)

5. Emotional Rest

Emotional rest deficit occurs when you feel like you can't be authentic.

• Spend time with people you can be authentic around or doing things you enjoy doing

• Try speaking with a therapist to release emotional labor
