7 Types of Rest: Creative Rest
For the next seven days we’ll be talking about the seven different types of rest and why you might be struggling even though “you’re taking care of yourself.”
Author Saundra Dalton-Smith outlines each in her book, “Sacred Rest.” There’s creative, mental, emotional, social, sensory, spiritual and physical rest, all of which serve a different purpose in your self-care toolkit.
Let’s dive into Creative Rest here.
CREATIVE REST is allowing yourself to be inspired and to, well, create!

When I’m in a rut, I turn to a few of my favorite folks who just ooze creativity from their pores. Happy to share them with you below:
