Do you think of rest as a luxury instead of a necessity? Or maybe you can’t seem to rest even when you try?
This week, I’m joined by Dr. Therese Huston, a cognitive scientist and psychologist who specializes in brain health. Dr. Huston breaks down why rest is crucial for building mental strength and shares actionable techniques to give your brain the reset it needs.
Some of the things we discuss are:
- The difference between deep rest and just zoning out.
- What deep rest is and how to get it.
- What happens to your brain when you don’t take breaks.
- Simple ways to rest during the workday, no matter how busy you are.
- Breathing techniques that calm your brain and help you recharge.
- How practices like Yoga Nidra and spending time in nature enhance your mental strength.
- How more rest can increase focus, reduce stress, and prevent burnout.
- Why deep rest is essential to your mental health and how it helps you grow mentally stronger.
