We unpack why sleep alone doesn’t fix burnout and map seven types of rest that match different kinds of exhaustion. We offer simple tools to schedule recovery, set boundaries, and build a kinder mindset so stress has a healthy counterweight.
• redefining rest as active and passive practice
• the double vs half life audit to guide habits
• how stress evolved and why it misfires now
• scheduling rest with Pomodoro and break design
• physical rest tools from naps to mobility work
• mental rest through journaling and low‑stakes creativity
• emotional rest via expression and safe limits
• social rest for extroverts and introverts alike
• sensory rest strategies to reduce screen load
• creative rest to refill wonder and ideas
• spiritual rest to reconnect with meaning
• treating rest as an energy investment
