TOPIC:
Rest is one of the most underrated, yet critical factors for overall health. It heals your body, decreases stress, increases productivity, and so much more. But, it often gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list. On today’s episode, we break down the difference between active and passive rest, the seven different types of rest, and how to address each deficit. We share our favorite activities for winding down and recharging, and our go-to tools for implementing rest into our daily lives.
In this episode, we discuss:
Signs that you’re not getting enough rest
The negative side effects of prolonged physical, mental, and/or emotional stress
Learning how to define who you are outside of your job title

Why we love taking mini breaks throughout the day to rest and refocus
