Listen Later

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
