Are you getting enough "rest"?

 

Anyone else feel exhausted lately? Sure, we are in the middle of a global pandemic, waves of civil and social uprisings, and we just survived the dreaded holiday season…but besides that, most of us are just plain TIRED. Our TISC Initiatives team has spent much of the past year talking to folks about things they can do – like adjusting expectations and setting boundaries – to increase their ability to manage all that life has to throw at us. However, the one thing that we all seem to struggle with the most is getting enough rest. (Because who has time for that?!)

In this TED article (and accompanying video) from Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, she addresses the idea that “rest” isn’t just about sleep. The 7 Types of Rest that Every Person Needs offers another perspective on supporting our physical, mental, and emotional needs by identifying the kind of “rest” we are missing and implementing strategies that can be incorporated throughout our day.

Here’s to a more “restful” 2021.
