With the daylight hours being shorter in winter, many, including myself, just want to rest, maybe by taking a nap. According to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith there are seven types of rest which can help one to recharge. Here is the list, don\u2019t feel like you have to incorporate all of them, just choose a few and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Physical Rest \u2013 napping or even gentle movement like stretching or yoga can help restore energy and prevent burnout<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Mental Rest \u2013 take breaks between tasks, set work boundaries<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Sensory Rest \u2013 give your nervous system a break and silence notifications, spend time with reduced background noise<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Creative Rest \u2013 boost your imagination by being outside in nature, listen to music, visit a museum<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Emotional Rest \u2013 write in a journal, talk to a trusted friend, set boundaries with others who task your emotions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Social Rest \u2013 balance your time, give more to people who uplift you, less to those who drain you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Spiritual Rest \u2013 meditate, practice gratitude, look outside of yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n
