We explore the distinction between sleep and rest with wellness coach Alexandra Clifton, diving into practical techniques for calming your nervous system and protecting your energy during major life transitions.

• Vagus nerve calming techniques including intentional yawning to increase oxygen flow and mental clarity
• "Shalom My Body" exercises that combine breathing, body positioning, and relaxation for stress reduction
• The importance of creating a "dopamine and serotonin menu" of activities that genuinely replenish your energy
• How to incorporate rest breaks throughout your day, especially during demanding periods like job searching
• The value of sitting down to eat mindfully, activating your rest-and-digest response
• Creative ways to maintain social connection as a form of rest, like scheduling "FaceTime dinners" with friends
• Recognizing when you're depleted and intentionally choosing activities that restore rather than drain you
