“I cannot do another thing,” I told my husband this past Wednesday. I shut my schedule down immediately after work, choosing to ignore the list of action items because I just couldn’t do another thing. However, I’d finally found out why I was exhausted.

I stumbled across a podcast featuring Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith earlier that day, and I felt as if God had tossed me a lifeline. The problem with my exhaustion was that I had been sleeping. With the extra routines I’d established, I was technically getting more sleep than ever!

SACRED REST

Thankfully, the research Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith’s book conducted for her book, Sacred Rest, came to my rescue. Turned out, I needed some social rest. You see, in her book she outlines seven different types of rest:

• Physical
• Mental
• Spiritual
• Emotional
• Social
• Sensory
• Creative

and they will bless your life! We're going to be talking about these as a form of soul care over the next couple of weeks, and I hope you're here for it because it's going to cause your productivity to increase in ways you didn't even know were possible! Trust me.
