7 Ways to Recharge and Improve Your Well-Being

7 Ways to Recharge and Improve Your Well-Being

This week, our first co-hosted episode back after the holidays! We talk through a tried and proven playbook for goal-setting in 2024, the importance of focusing on your word-of-the-year and exactly what we will be carrying with us into the new year (with a few handy tips to unplug & prevent burnout).ย 

Are you still feeling exhausted post holiday? You arenโ€™t alone.

My bestie sent me a Ted Talk on productive rest by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith a few days ago explaining how we often go through life thinking weโ€™ve rested because weโ€™ve gotten enough sleep, and then get confused that weโ€™re still so god damn tired. Ok, raise your hands if you feel seen! ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธIt turns out a lot of us are missing out on the other types of rest we need.ย 

So here it is, the ultimate list of the 7 types of rest we all need (along with practical tips on how to attain them):

  • Physical Rest ๐Ÿ˜ดย a good night sleep, restorative movement (such as yoga & stretching) and naps are the ultimate cure here.

  • Mental Rest ๐Ÿง ย weโ€™re used to being constantly switched on and on the go: schedule breaks in your work day and take them seriously.

  • Sensory Rest ๐Ÿ”†ย shield yourself from sensory overdrive, a serene pamper session sans music or TV can do wonders.

  • Creative Rest ๐ŸŽจย super important for anyone solving problems or brain-storming ideas, spend some time in nature without your phone.

  • Emotional Rest ๐Ÿ˜ฐย take some time to acknowledge your emotions and chat to someone about how you really feel, get it off your chest.

  • Social Rest ๐Ÿ‘ย the holidays can be a scary time for introverts like myself, it might be high time to find some rest in solitude.

  • Spiritual Rest ๏ธ๐ŸŒŸdo you feel a sense of belonging or a little unmoored at the moment? Your spirit is deeply connected to your purpose.

All that to say, if the post-holiday blues are lingering this year, thatโ€™s perfectly normal and youโ€™re far from alone. There might just be another aspect of your life that needs some TLC (aka: rest) rn.
