7 Types of Rest

With our adrenals taking a bashing these days, we need to prioritise our rest and relaxation. But what does rest mean to you? Lying on the sofa watching Netflix?

Well according to Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith, "many of us are suffering from a rest deficit, because we do not understand the power of rest....The result is a culture of high achieving, high producing, chronically tired, burned out individuals".

According to Saundra, sleep isn't the same as rest. We need other types of rest to feel fully restored. These are physical, mental, social, creative, emotional, spiritual and sensory rest.
