The word “Depressed” is spoken phonetically as “DEEP REST”. It’s ok to be tired from time to time. But when you get tired, learn to REST not quit. Your body needs deep rest… #deeprest #depression #anxiety #rest #jimcarey #wisewords #mentalhealthawareness

Rest isn’t just collapsing on the couch and calling it “self-care.” Real rest is getting outside, letting your feet touch the grass, breathing fresh air, and remembering what calm feels like. Call it grounding, call it therapy, call it pressing reset, or just call it rest. 💛

Resting isn’t always about physically resting your body. It’s about resting your mind. Resting your nervous system. We often turn to scrolling and screens to “switch off” and decompress. But in switching off, we’re switching off from our bodies too, disconnecting from ourselves. Numbing our feelings. This might bring temporary relief, but those feelings will still be there the moment you put the screen down (and we often actually feel worse for it, rather than rested). True rest comes not by switching off or tuning out, but by tuning IN to our internal world and into the support of the space around us. Tuning into our breath. Tuning into the feeling of the support beneath us, holding us. Tuning into nature. Tuning into the sensations in our body. This is what brings the body into a state of true rest; PRESENCE! Presence tells your brain and nervous system that it’s safe to be here now. That it’s safe to slow down. There are no threats we need to run away from. If we’re not used to it, resting can feel uncomfortable. Precisely because it can bring up all of the feelings we’ve been avoiding. Or because it can bring up feelings of guilt around not being productive. So we must show our bodies and nervous system that it’s safe to rest. It’s safe to soften and be present. In small amounts. Taking small moments to be present with yourself. Even micro-moments of rest helps to build this safety. When we do, we have so much more capacity to handle life’s challenges. Beyond that, we get to reclaim our vitality. This might look like: walking without a podcast, restorative or yin yoga, yoga Nidra, being in nature, taking a bath, having a massage, putting your hands on your heart and belly and taking 5 deep breaths, lying on the floor, cuddling with a pet or loved one or doing some relaxing art (thanks to @gemmalessingerart for showing me that one!)

Hustle culture has took it too far, you’re not weak just because you sleep 8 hours a day. God designed us to need 8 out of every 24 hours for rest. Anyone that says otherwise is literally shortening their life, for what? Money? There is more to life than money… #venturista #travel #traveler #traveling #nomad

NEW 10min (NSDR) NON-SLEEP DEEP REST PROTOCOL AVAILABLE IN VIDEO AND/OR AUDIO FORMATS• Link: go.hubermanlab.com/10-min-nsdr - Non-sleep deep rest is powerful way to restore mental and physical vigor. And because it can assist in teaching people how to direct their own relaxation, it can improve sleep, and the ability to fall back asleep if you wake up in the middle of the night. - Personally, I have found it valuable as a way to recover some of the sleep I was not able to get at night, although there is no replacement for sleep besides sleep itself. - I recently recorded a 10 minute NSDR, that you can access for zero cost in video, or audio formats @youtube @spotify @apple etc. See the link above to all formats. - Meanwhile, put any questions you have in the comments, section below this post, and as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford - #neuroscience #science #ciencia #neurociencia #nsdr

You’re not relaxing a muscle here. You’re sending a signal of safety to your nervous system. This area sits right at the junction where stress lives on autopilot. Slow pressure here tells the brain it’s okay to downshift. No supplements. No breathwork. No forcing sleep. Just input → response. If you felt heavier, calmer, or caught yourself exhaling… that’s the point. Watch it again. Slower this time. #sleepreset #nervoussystem #deeprelaxation #vagusnerve #stressrelief

Rest : (v) Allowing yourself to slowdown or be inactive to regain strength or health of the body or mind Somewhere along the way, rest got a bad reputation. It used to be a day of rest honored what God created.. you. Now we have slang like “bed rotting” — a term meant to shame spending a day in bed watching a show, reading a book, or simply doing nothing. People are shamed for binge watching or reading a book that brings pleasure instead of a self improvement. If you’re not in hustle culture you’re failing. But let’s be honest… sometimes rest is exactly what the body needs. Rest isn’t laziness. Rest is repair. Rest is regulation. Rest is how we actually thrive. And sleep is only one form of it. Here are 7 types of rest your body and mind may be craving: ✨ Mental Rest Step away from the noise. Focus on one task at a time and give your brain a break from constant input. ✨ Sensory Rest Dim the lights. Put down the phone. Sit in quiet for a few minutes and let your nervous system settle. ✨ Emotional Rest Journal or brain dump everything you’ve been carrying. Releasing thoughts can be just as restorative as sleep. ✨ Social Rest It’s okay to step back from crowds and constant interaction. Sometimes we recharge best in solitude or small, meaningful connection. ✨ Spiritual Rest Go outside. Walk in nature. Breathe fresh air and reconnect with something bigger than daily stress. ✨ Creative Rest Visit an art gallery, listen to music, explore beauty. Inspiration refuels creativity. ✨ Physical Rest Our bodies weren’t built to go 24/7. Movement is powerful, but recovery days are where the real repair happens. Because here’s the truth… If the body rests but the mind is racing, you’re not fully restored. If the mind rests but the body is exhausted, you’re still depleted. It’s all connected ♾️ Small shifts toward intentional rest can change everything. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do…is give yourself permission to pause. 🤍 Share this with someone you know could relate Hope&Health Kim #nervoussystemregulation #holisticwellness #mindbodybalance #restandreset #healthfromwithin

Why can’t I rest when I’m exhausted😮‍💨? Sometimes it’s deeper than just being tired. 👉🏾Your central nervous system can become overwhelmed from chronic stress, overwork, and constantly pushing without enough recovery. And when that happens, rest doesn’t always come easy even when your body is begging for it. This can show up as: ✔️persistent fatigue ✔️brain fog ✔️emotional ups and downs ✔️sleep issues ✔️body aches ✔️digestive changes ✔️and feeling like you’re running on empty 👉🏾If this is you, your body may not just need sleep. It may need support, regulation, and recovery. 💡 A few ways to begin caring for your nervous system: movement that supports emotional stability short breaks throughout the day 10 minutes of stillness a consistent bedtime routine somatic practices mindful eating and balancing intense workouts with real rest 👉🏾Exhaustion is not always solved by doing nothing. Sometimes your body needs help feeling safe enough to recover. #SoulCare #NervousSystemHealth #RestAndRecovery #BurnoutSupport #christiantherapist

You’re exhausted. Actually exhausted. But your body didn’t get the memo, and your brain definitely didn’t. So you lie there, doing the math on how many hours you could still get if you fell asleep right now. Knowing you won’t 🌙 Is this how nights are now?
