Here’s to a restful season. Isn’t it interesting that we have to disengage from our regular life in order to rest enough?

SO interesting. It makes me think regular life needs to be changed ... what would it mean for all 7 types of rest to embedded in every season more easily, the default rather than the exception? Thanks for the thought-provoking question, Michelle!

I absolutely feel I need all these types of rest! I just never had names for them before, so thank you. After a day Of writing, I’m going to see Romeo and Juliet tonight. I love Shakespeare, Creative rest for me!! Yay.

Hurray for creative rest! I'm glad too to have names for more types of rest — the naming makes a difference. Romeo and Juliet sounds fantastic. I hope you have a great time!

The seven types of rest just came on my radar recently and I really love the concept. I had been feeling tired, but getting plenty of sleep (aka physical rest) and someone mentioned this concept to me. I am frequently low in the other six-- also trying to work on this for the summer!
