Rest isn't just about sleep—it's a vital component of thriving in midlife. We explore the seven types of rest essential for your well-being and productivity, especially for our midlife community of color.

Drawing from Dr. Sandra Dalton-Smith's framework, we explore seven distinct types of rest that most people overlook.
• Physical rest includes both passive (doing nothing) and active rest (gentle stretching, massage)
• Creative rest involves appreciating beauty and engaging in play to inspire and rejuvenate
• Social rest means stepping away from draining interactions and limiting social media
• Sensory rest requires reducing input from screens and environmental noise
• Mental rest helps combat decision fatigue that comes from making thousands of decisions daily
• Emotional rest gives permission to acknowledge feelings without judgment or fixing
• Spiritual rest connects us to something larger than ourselves, whether through faith or community

Take a moment to consider: What scares you about stopping? Who are you apart from what you do or provide? Are you performing rest or actually living it?
