Feeling constantly tired? You're missing out on restful magic! Today, we're busting the myth that sleep is the be-all and end-all of rest. High blood pressure affects millions and a simple tweak like incorporating different types of rest can make a huge difference. Trust us, by the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to prioritize rest in ways you’ve never imagined.

Renew With Sleep: They say renew with sleep, and the whole body is renewed. But what parts of the body really rest?

Here are eight different types of rest you can prioritize for a balanced approach to wellness:
Physical Rest: This can be passive (like sleeping or napping) or active (like stretching, yoga, or walking). Physical rest helps your body recover and repair itself.
Mental Rest: Taking breaks from cognitive tasks and giving your mind a chance to relax. For me I like to think of it as time to fly solo.
Sensory Rest: Reducing sensory input by limiting exposure to screens, loud noises, and bright lights.
Creative Rest: Engaging in activities that inspire and stimulate your creativity, like enjoying art, listening to music, or spending time in nature.
Emotional Rest: Creating a space to express and process your emotions, whether through talking with a friend or therapist, journaling, or practicing self-compassion.
Social Rest: Spending time with supportive and energizing people while avoiding those who drain your energy.
Time away. This can look different for everyone.
Spiritual Rest: Connecting with something larger than yourself, be it through religious practices, meditation, or spending time in nature, can provide a sense of purpose and belonging.
