99. The 7 Different Types of Rest & Why They Matter


Listen Later

Doing more things with a vestibular disorder is possible—but you absolutely need to rest. This means giving your body time to rest and different types of rest in order to achieve that.

Rest is an essential part of being a human being. Yet we live in a society where people don’t rest until they feel like they’ve “done enough.”

When we should be resting before we feel the fatigue set in, we’re busy pushing through, ignoring how we truly feel, and worrying about a plan for a future crisis.

(I have the best analogy for you in this episode, too!)

It’s more helpful to actually take time to rest rather than continue trying to figure out what to do next because that is part of what will keep you stuck. And we do NOT want that!

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

  • What we’ve been taught about rest
  • How a lack of rest impacts vestibular disorders
  • How to know when you need rest
  • The 7 different types of rest
  • Examples of these types of rest in practice
  • Why active and passive rest are both important
  • Taking time to rest and recharge throughout the day will make it so your body doesn’t require you to rest later. Take breaks before you need them.
