Your body is very good at telling you when you’ve reached your limit. When you have exercised enough or worked enough or done anything that pushes you to the limit - your body tells you to stop.

What is rest? Most of us think that rest is what you get by sleeping or by NOT doing something. Rest turns out to be more complex than that and is misunderstood by many of us. Board-certified internal medicine physician Sandra Dalton-Smith says we all need different types of rest to restore different parts of us. Even if you get plenty of sleep, there are things that can mentally exhaust you or there are conversations with certain people that leave you drained. More sleep won’t help in those cases. You need a different kind of rest. In fact, Sandra has identified 7 kinds of necessary rest. Listen and you will look at the importance of rest very differently. Sandra is author of the book Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity (https://amzn.to/2RA9t5w).
