Season 2, Episode 39: Authentic Rest is Power
Whew! I'm tired (please read as tiiiii'ed). But I know I'm not the only one out here feeling the multiple levels of tired that I feel.
Episode 39 in this Season 2 is all about rest. Michale Bernard Beckwith once said, "Authentic Rest is power." I read that quote when my son was an infant after my body had been stressed and strained beyond my previously recognized limitations. I thought then that I knew what 'rest' meant. However, according to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith I grossly overestimated what I knew. Dr. Dalton-Smith's research demonstrates that we all have 7 buckets that must be filled in order to experience authentic rest. They are Physical, Mental, Emotional, Social, Sensory, Creative, and Spiritual. You may very well be getting all the physical rest you need, that does not mean you are rested! Your rejuvenation and renewal starts with identifying what kind of rest you actually need.
