Shift Your Vibe to Thrive

Ep 39: From Exhausted to Energized: 9 Simple Ways to Rest

Emily Evans Russell Episode 39

What if rest could become a regular, joyful part of your life instead of an afterthought? Emily dives into 9 unique forms of rest that go beyond the basics—helping you create balance and avoid the crash-and-burn cycle. Whether it’s solitude, stillness, or even "unproductive play," you’ll walk away inspired to honor your energy and needs.

📌 What to Listen For:

  • Why “unconscious rest” (like getting sick) might be sabotaging your well-being.
  • How to intentionally create rest to avoid burnout.
  • The power of giving yourself permission to “not be helpful”—even for a day!
  • Why doing something “unproductive” can actually rejuvenate you.
  • The magic of solitude: how alone time recharges your spirit.
  • How connecting with art or nature brings calm and creativity into your life.
  • The subtle yet profound impact of taking a break from responsibilities.
  • How stillness helps regulate your nervous system and boosts resilience.
  • Why crafting a “safe space” for yourself can be a radical act of self-care.
  • The secret to finding true rest in your own home—no vacation required.

No matter how busy life feels, there are always ways to prioritize rest. Start small: give yourself permission to pause, be still, or even take 10 minutes to enjoy solitude.

By making rest a regular part of your life, you’ll not only avoid burnout but also reconnect with your energy and joy.
