#361: Real Rest vs. Artificial Rest
Manage episode 481424009 series 1126784
Rest is essential. Although you know that, especially now, as we’ve shifted into what some call the “rest era.” Our internal thermostat works tirelessly to maintain balance, or homeostasis, making rest a natural response to work. But now that we’ve moved beyond hustle culture, the question becomes: Are you resting too much, or are you relying on the wrong kinds of rest?
The truth is, excessive rest can lead to problems. Just like overworking, over-resting—especially the wrong type of rest—can leave you feeling stuck, unmotivated, or even more tired. Health is a delicate balance of work and rest, and not all rest is created equal.
Too much rest and not enough work can lead to a bored body. {Find out if your body could be bored here}.
In the podcast, I explain the difference between real rest and artificial rest and how that relates to feeling tired or exhausted. This is an important conversation, especially in a world that nearly worships rest, yet few find the benefits they seek.
