27 Oct The Importance of Rest
Rest is important. Read that again. Rest is so important we are writing about it again! Winter months are nature’s way of saying “rest”. This does not mean stop moving or hibernate for the winter, but you might benefit from more restorative activities like staying warm in a sauna, Sweating in colder months assists in good blood and oxygen flow to help lubricate your joints so they don’t get creaky! The far infrared sauna is good for you because it can help improve circulation, relax muscles, reduce stress, improve skin tone, and help with weight loss. It has also been known to help with detoxification and improved immune system function. It is also believed to help improve sleep quality, reduce inflammation, and promote overall health and well-being.
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Sleep is so often disregarded that the famous phrase “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” is heard often when burning the midnight oil. In reality, without proper rest and recovery you might be dead faster and slow your body’s optimal functioning without it!
Rest is essential for a person’s overall health and wellbeing. Without adequate rest, individuals may experience physical, mental, and emotional distress. We talked about the seven different types of rest, and how we see the correlation between the seven types and the “eight” dimensions of wellness.
Types of rest
Each type of rest serves a unique purpose. Since rest is so important we are talking about it again and further explaining a few of the areas for you to consider building in more rest to avoid the eternal deep sleep:
1. Sleep: Sleep is the most basic form of rest. It is essential for the body to repair and rejuvenate itself. Sleep helps to regulate hormones, enhance mental clarity, and boost the immune system.
2. Quiet Time: Quiet time is the practice of taking time out of your day to focus on self-care. This can include reading a book, listening to music, meditating, or simply taking a few moments to relax and be present.
3. Physical Rest: Physical rest is any activity that allows your body to rest and recover. This could include stretching, yoga, massage, or simply taking a walk.
4. Social Rest: Social rest is taking a break from social activities such as going out with friends or attending events. This type of rest helps to recharge the mind and body.
5. Creative Rest: Creative rest is taking time to engage in creative pursuits such as painting, drawing, writing, or creating music. This type of rest helps to stimulate the mind
