DR SAUNDRA DALTON SMITH - The 7 Types of Rest You Need Perform At Your Best

"Rest is about restoration, restoring the parts of us that are depleted, the parts of us that get drained when we are doing whatever different activities are a part of our life." - Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith

There's no one-size-fits-all way to feeling fully rejuvenated and recovered and when we think of rest, recovery or even exhaustion we immediately think about sleep and getting more of it. But according to Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith, that only scratches the surface of what it really means to be fully rested.

Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith is a Board-Certified internal medicine physician and work-life integration researcher. She is the author of Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity, where she writes about the seven types of rest needed to optimize your productivity, increase your overall happiness, overcome burnout, and live your best life.

On this episode, we talk about what it means to be rested and why sleep, whilst incredibly important, is not always the answer. Dr Saundra explains why building self-awareness to firstly identify what type of rest you need and listening to your body is crucial to understanding what type of rest you need and how you can get it.

This episode is full of easy-to-apply strategies that will immediately help you restore your energy and not only feel your best but perform at your best!
