Rest can take many forms.
When we think of rest, we may tend to think of it in terms of the physical - sleeping, napping. But rest can also be:
Mental
Sensory
Creative
Emotional
Spiritual
If you’re relationally depleted, sleep won’t likely fix this. But spending time with someone who uplifts you vs drains you may.
If you’re creatively tapped out, again sleep may not be the answer, but engaging in play or an activity that sparks delight, may fill the well.
Rest is part of our design. It not a nice-to- have, but an essential part of our overall health, wellbeing and creative flourishing.
Proverb: Rest is part of the work.
