⁣
Is staying busy the mark of productivity and success? Marianne Howard is an author and a speaker who knows full well about the dangers of running your mind, body, and soul on empty! She points out, “We can’t pour Jesus into others…if we ourselves are not communing with Him! He’s the giver of rest. He created it!” It’s so important to find rest, stillness, and silence, even in the middle of a busy day. It’s not just about sleeping - it’s about something Marianne calls “soul rest” that recharges your heart, mind, and soul. “‘Hurry’ is always going to disturb your intimacy with God,” she observes. “‘Hurry’ is always going to distract and divide us.” Run to the King of Kings and find your rest - don’t lean into self-sufficiency and chaos.

TAKEAWAYS
Hurrying simply feeds discontentment and self-sufficiency
Overcoming spiritual fatigue requires bone-deep soul rest
We cannot muster of true rest ourselves - we need Jesus for that
Don’t run your spiritual, emotional, and physical tank too close to empty - you can’t give if you don’t have

⁣
How do you take care of yourself and your spirituality when your life revolves around taking care of someone else? This is a question that Keri Wyatt Kent sought to answer after having two kids in just two years. She is the founder of A Powerful Story and the author of an impactful book, Rest: Living in Sabbath Simplicity. Keri discusses the easy and uncomplicated pathway to true, Biblical rest and why it’s so important to declutter our everyday lives for our own sakes and for the sake of our families. Taking a sabbath allows us to participate in a miracle, she shares. You don’t need to be busy to feel accomplished or significant. God loves you! Take the time to rest as a family and embrace the quiet amid the chaos.

TAKEAWAYS
Three words that you can embrace in the process of resting: no, enough, and stop
If you say yes to something, you have to say no to something else, so make sure you are committing to what God has called you to
You can’t love in a hurry
If you’re always too busy or wrapped up in yourself, you won’t have time to help other people or love on them well

Ep561 - Seven Types of Restorative Rest to Heal Our Mind, Body and Soul - Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith

⁣
Sleep is only one part of the bigger picture of rest, says Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, an internal medicine physician and CEO of Restorasis. After struggling with severe burnout and mental fatigue, Saundra went on a journey to discover how to truly rest not only her body, but her mind and soul, as well. She describes seven integral types of rest: mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory, creative, and physical. Most people, she explains, have work ethic but no rest ethic. “For some of us, we’ve wrapped our worth up in our work, so if we’re not working, we don’t feel worthy or valuable,” Saundra adds. She also breaks down how culture contributes to this endless cycle of exhaustion, and how we can break that toxic cycle for good!

TAKEAWAYS
Mental rest is perhaps the most important type of rest and most frequently needed
If you’ve ever been physically exhausted but unable to sleep because of a racing mind, that’s a sign of a “mental rest deficit”
People are busier than ever, largely because of how our culture is set up to encourage busyness above all else
We’re using energy throughout the day for every task, so you have to be mindful of how you spend that energy and how to regain it
