Rest is a right

This year: as the outside is slowly healing (sadly, some places more than others), it’s a good reminder that our inside is slowly healing too.

And healing = resting. I came across a great post on the different types of rest we need to fully bloom.

Here were my ways:

  1. Physical Rest - Stretching for 10 minutes after closing my laptop.

  2. Mental Rest - Listening to my “Cheer Up” playlist in the shower.

  3. Social Rest - Limiting back-to-back social events (up to 2).

  4. Creative Rest - Taking a walk with a podcast, and of course, this blog!

  5. Sensory Rest - Reading a physical book on the weekend morning before picking up my phone,

  6. Spiritual Rest - Participating in a virtual LinkedIn coaching & mentorship session with Braven.

  7. Emotional Rest - Calling my elders who live far away for 10 minutes.

As 2021 unfolds, my hope is that you’re building in time to renew and recover. Because it’s rightfully deserved.

How are you making space for yourself this year? 🌙
