Post #4: Rest Allows Space for Healing & Preventing Stress-Related Neuroplastic Symptoms

Sleep is not the only form of rest. Daytime rest should be valued as well, through meditation, slowing down, mindfulness, and flow experiences.  Even creating separation and asserting boundaries are forms of rest.  Rest is a need, not an indulgence. It allows space for healing and preventing stress-related neuroplastic symptoms through observation, contemplation, and connecting with intuition. Complete with wisdom teachings and personal anecdotes.
