For today let’s go back to the idea of oscillating between connection and autonomy...in the same pattern we need to oscillate between work and rest. We will dig into the research behind rest and the profoundly unfortunate things that happen we we don’t rest in another podcast, but for now….it is important. It is the first thing many of us forget and it is the most important aspect of preventing burnout and living quite honestly a healthy and fullfilling life. Our bodies are meant to rest…..we NEED to rest. If we don’t rest, our bodies will take it….so let’s be kind to ourselves and rest. The recommended amount is estimated 8 hours/day. Some days it might be closer to 7 where others are closer to 9, but an average of 8 hours/day is ideal!
