Join Kim, Marquia, and Ednesha as they talk about the importance of rest!
\\nQuote from an article written by Ralinda Watts
\\n\\u201cRest in the form of resistance can include naps because our bodies benefit from sleep and relaxation. However, it also encompasses removing ourselves from environments, institutions, practices, and people that are unsafe and toxic, where it's evident that our presence and voices aren't respected, listened to, loved, and cared for. Rest is our protection and our superpower, inviting us to reimagine, reinvent, and rebuild new systems of accountability.\\u201d
\\nDo you know that there are 7 different types of rest?
\\nPhysical, mental, spiritual, social, emotional, sensory, and creative.
\\nPhysical, can be sleeping and napping and it also yoga, massages, and stretching
\\nMental which is basically quieting your mind and not having those racing thoughts.
\\nSpiritual is feeling like we belong and we\\u2019re contributing to the great good
\\nSocial is being with people who feed you and not drain you
\\nEmotional rest is when you can be open and honest about your feelings and not keep how we really feel in check.
\\nSensory is notifications constantly going off on your phone, too much zoom, too much light and noise
\\nCreative rest has to do with nature, and art.
\\nWhat do ya\\u2019ll think of that quote? Do you consider rest to be radical or an act of resistance? Did you know about these different types of rest?
