3. Someone with mental rest deficit
might have trouble recalling why
they entered a room or may lay
down at night and find they are
unable to quiet their racing mind
before sleep.
Scheduling breaks throughout
the day to allow you to pause or
slow down can be helpful in
satisfying a mental rest deficit.

4. Spiritual rest is the ability to
connect beyond the physical
and mental and feel a deep sense
of belonging, love, and purpose.
To receive this, engage in some-
thing greater than yourself and
add prayer, meditation or commu-
nity involvement to your daily
routine.

5. Emotional rest is a type of calm one
feels when they can be real and
authentic, sharing their inner
experiences openly with others.
People suffering from an emotio-
nal rest deficit may feel the weight
of an emotional burden as they
suppress their feelings and may
also experience the constant need
to please others.

6. Bright lights, computer screens,
background noise and multiple con-
versations can cause our senses to
feel overwhelmed.
This can be countered by doing
something as simple as closing
your eyes for a minute in the
middle of the day, as well as by
intentionally unplugging from
electronics at some point in the
day.

cause us stress or otherwise
exhaust us.

surround yourself with positive
and supportive people.
