037: How to Truly Rest

Do you ever feel tired even after you have rested? Rest is so important because if you weren’t why would we need to commit to resting daily. Rest is when our body repairs and grows and our brains become more creative and smarter. Rest also allows us to gain more emotional control intern helping us not to operate on emotions more regularly. The trouble is most of us struggle with rest because we don’t have peace. The truth is there is a science to resting. I thought I could rest to escape my problems and the world, but I still woke up to the chaos but each time it became more difficult to deal with.
