Hey welcome back to another episode of am I doing this right? I'm Corrine Foxx.

And I'm Natalie McMillan

and we are best friends confidants millennials and the host of am I doing this right? A life how to podcast from the perspective of non experts

and each week we cover a new topic and we drink a new bottle of wine.

And this week we get to get cozy. Relax, we get to sit back because we are talking how to rest the lost art of relaxing I really do believe it's a lost art specially for Americans. Oh my god, workhorse it's not right as to the ground for absolutely nothing. thing. We're gonna be talking about what rest really is the seven types of rest and how to actually do it. Because we need to relax.

I know and actually we need a how to because it's not as simple as just like, sitting on my couch like No, no,

it's not that it's not binging Netflix. There's different rest and we're gonna get into it. Yeah, and at the end of the episode now we're playing fuck marry kill fun one. I'm gonna marry kill I gotta think of

No, I don't have yours yet.

I'm excited. But not What are we drinking as we lounge into this app?

Yes, we're drinking. Oh, this is good. We're drinking a red because reds very like relaxed vibes cozy.

Yeah.

It's Kalin vintners. It's a 2020 Zinfandel from Lodi, which I believe is in California. Let me just

Wowza take a sip of that.

Okay, okay, I'm going to Yeah, it's California. Zanza slap yo

mama wine. All right, slap your mama. Well, that's a slap yo. Okay rated at the end of the episode. Well, you guys might have remembered but Natalie nine. We went to Vegas. We had a grand old time and we got the VIP bid. We got the bad guys. We should have expected we did. We did we went in we said this. This might go down into did day one. We got it.

Truly, truly. But I maintain. I have no regrets.

Oh, no, no, no, it was it was luckily because we didn't spread it to anybody else. It was worth it because we had an amazing time. Yes. It's completely worth it. And it

was also that week where literally every single person including the President had it. Yeah, we weren't gonna get it.

Yeah, no, everybody got it that week. At least we were in Vegas having a good time. But we we did have

to race, right? We were forced and we're forced to rest, honestly. And I told my therapist this I was like, and you know, what's fucked up when COVID is a vacation. Literally COVID was fun for me.

I know, we had friends who are really struggling with like, oh, I have to be in bed. Of course. We don't want anyone to ever be sick. But it was just like, I kind of liked and I read but I was I actually was extremely ill. It was actually

you had the worst symptoms of anyone. I was

extremely ill. But I did you know, even though it was really nice. I struggled. I had to like Google. How do I how do I rest? Yes. I literally wrote that into Google. I used to go and going on

my main thing was just extreme brain fog and fatigue. So I couldn't even think about anything other than just literally laying there. And like staring at the TV, which was really nice. I loved it.

Yeah. So that inspired this episode, we were like, we had to learn how to recce.

Yeah. And you know if you also just got this Miss ba five girl who's extremely out here, he's here, then, you know, here you go.

Yeah. workaholic and you feel exhausted. You have kids. They're pulling on your hair. Yeah. It's like Just leave me. Yeah, we need we need to be taught how to. Yes.

And here's a quote, Benjamin Franklin, quote, he said he that can take rest is greater than He that can take cities. Wow. That's kind of true. A lot of people talk about like creativity and stuff and how if you don't rest, like you can't cannot be

inspired. If it takes a lot of silence. It really

does. So experts across the board, they know that rest is absolutely necessary.

Yeah, right. Yes, physicians, athletes, philosophers, poets, religious leaders, and corporate leaders all tell us the same thing. Take time to rest. It is absolutely essential for a balanced healthy life. When the body is deprived of sleep, it is unable to rebuild and recharge itself adequately. Your body requires rest beyond that rest is needed for muscles to repair themselves and prevent injury. This is true whether you run marathons, pitch baseballs, do yoga, any kind of physical activity will require you to allow your muscles to rest so you can build them. Yeah, and I don't think they talk about like rest being a part of like fitness. as they talk about you know what they do they say sleep like okay like a healthy balanced life is like sleep, but we're gonna get into it's not just sleeping, right? Of course we're all like over exhausted and that's a whole nother epidemic right rest is different than sleep. It is yeah. okay to do. Yes, rest is also incredibly essential for the mind. Leonardo da Vinci said every now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work and your judgment will be sure or

have a little relaxation. He says, Love. Italy have a little relaxing

and Oh COVID The Roman poet not to be confused with

COVID This is straight up Ovid

said, Take rest, a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.

So what I'm learning from this is that we have been needing rest for literally 100 years. Actually, many religious leaders emphasize the importance of rest for the sole Buddhism Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Bahai. And even people who practice Wicca among others teach the importance of setting aside a period of time for rest. The Bible literally says that God rested on the seventh day after creating the universe. That's a very fair point. You may also hear a lot of corporate leaders talk about how essential rest is for productivity. Forbes magazine wrote, you can only work so hard and do so much in a day everybody needs to rest and recharge. Okay, so what is it? You know, we love a definition. Well,

according to Merriam Webster, there are three different definitions for this form of rest, which goes to show that it can take a lot of different forms. So the first definition is a bodily state characterized by minimal functional and metabolic activities. So that's, you know, yes. What we think being a veg, right, the next definition is freedom from activity or labor. We kind of know this. Okay. Uh huh. I thought this was a really cool one. Hit me with that. The next one is peace of mind or spirit. Oh, that's it. That is Waru. Rest. Yeah. I said lay your body you can have minimal functional and metabolic activities. Yeah. But if you have peace of mind or spirit, that is rest. That is true. Rest. Yes. And according to the Oxford Dictionary, rest is to cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself or recover strength.

So that's that whole thing about like, when you work out, you actually have to take rest? Yes. Your muscles will just like, be like, what are we doing? We can't grow here, right? We might not be familiar with this term rest, because American work culture makes it nearly impossible to ever do so. And here, let me let me hit you with some stats here. Okay, according to the Center for American Progress on the topic of work and family life balance, in 1960, only 20% of mothers worked today. 70% of American children live in households where all adults are employed. I don't care who stays home and who works in terms of gender, you know, work opportunity, equality, for all. That's a family choice. But when all adults are working within a household with children, that's a huge hit to the American family and free time in the American household.

Everybody's working everyone's cake taking care of everybody. Everyone's stressed out of their goddamn mind. Right?

How are you supposed to? Are you supposed to have any time for yourself? Also, the US is the only country in the Americas without a national paid parental leave benefits. So the average over 12 weeks of paid leave, but in Europe, it's over 20 weeks and over 20 weeks? No, because

you have a child, right and human beings been brought into the earth and they have mandates that people can't, you know, should stay at home. Yeah, my mom brought me to the office with her when I was 10 days old and I sat in a car seat while my mom worked.

She also went into labor at work finished

the baby tonight and she asked my her boss she was like Can you drive me after work? And they said Connie go my mom one got her nails done too after work. And then she had gotten a morning. What the hell?

Oh my god. Okay, more stats here. One report goes so far as to call the United States a quote unquote no vacation nation thanks to the paltry well non existent amount of paid vacation time mandated by federal law compared with that of other well off countries. It's also the only country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development which is a group of 36 of the world's wealthiest nations that doesn't require employers to give workers annual paid leave. According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research,

you don't have to give your workers paid leave in America. No. And we're the only country out of the 36 wealthiest,

sick of people saying that America is like the wealthiest like dream. I'm like, What are you talking about? What are you talking about? This leaves 23% of Americans with no paid vacation and 22% without paid holidays,

Jesus Christ, I feel like that's got to be higher than that, honestly, gotta

be higher,

it's got to be higher. It makes sense. Now listening to all this that I did not know what rest was, I didn't Google

it when I'd COVID. Right? It's because we are bred to believe that we need to work until we're literally collapsing onto the ground. But then we're like, Please don't call an ambulance. Because if you do, I'm gonna have to pay so much fucking money, and I do not have it she dies to die. And even then it's really expensive to die. It's so expensive to die. Oh my god. Let's talk about some benefits. though. Let's talk about benefits of West.

Let's start with the benefits. So number one is a healthier body, we eat healthy, we exercise and we watch our bad habits. But then we allow our schedules to fill up from morning to evening. At this point, we all know that stress is the cause of basically every illness and ailment. No, literally, not giving ourselves the time to relax is a surefire way to continue to be stressed. Speaking of stress, concentrated rest confronts stress in two ways. First, it reduces the demands of the situation. We have no demands on us as long as we have the ability to mentally let go of unfinished tasks. Oh, that's hard. Secondly, rest reduces stress by increasing our resources, particularly energy and energy as a resource. We don't have unlimited energy low.

Despite you know, the common

despite also the cap the way they they market caffeine to us, oh, we should be able to sleep and get up and like live our lives back that we cannot sleep enough to sustain our lifestyles is insane.

Oh, I read a study. The other day that was like eight hours of sleep actually isn't really enough. And I was like, oh, because I'm getting like six and a half, sir.

That's why I was caffeinated. Cap it out. Another benefit of rest is deeper relationships. Even just one day set aside each week for rest allows relationships with people to deepen and to be strengthened when we aren't rushing off to work or to complete our long list of errands. We are able to enjoy each other's company and have deep healthy conversation in present. And that's why being on vacations. Nice. Right? Like talk? Yeah, exactly. Number three is the opportunity for reflection rest allows us to take a step back to evaluate our lives to identify our values and determine if our life is being lived for ourselves. A great form of resting is to cuddle up on the couch and just journal. love a good reflection love a journal because also like

when you're so busy and can't rest your brain, there's so much shit in your brain just like

I just keep next to my bed is a notepad because, again, I'm so wired, I have to write shit down. Yeah, just to be able to go to sleep.

I have all these like legal pads around my apartment. And so every time I have like a thought, I'm just like to write it down and then keep going because I'm like, it's too much in my head, too many things. Another benefit is balance. Resting will force you to have an identity outside of your occupation. It will foster relationships outside of your fellow employees and will allow you to enjoy activities and hobbies outside of work. Rather than defining your life by what you do. You can begin to define it by who you are. I love that neat Hill. Also increased productivity. Providing our minds with rest gives us the opportunity to refocus and rejuvenate so you can begin to work smarter and not harder. that's thrown around a lot smarter, not harder. And I'm like really trying to figure that out.

Yeah, I think it's like delegating and yeah, prioritizing truly

like when I am super tired and I'm and I'm really pushing my work is shit. Yeah, so. So it's like yeah, also you have reserved for life's emergencies. I thought this was really interesting. So crisis hits everyone as we know, no one who is alive is immune from the trials of life. By starting the discipline today of intentional rest, you will build up reserves for when the unexpected emergencies of life strike and rest is no longer an option. Hmm pouring from an empty cup especially when in crisis mode is a surefire way to fry your nervous system, weaken your immune system and drain all of your serotonin and dopamine. You save money for emergencies, right? So think of your energy as currency and save up when you can. That is

so true. Because if you're already burned out in your regular life, and then what sometimes that? Did you have to be a horrible, like one thing flat tire, even that that can just throw you over the edge. And then of course, like God forbid, it's something, you know, tragic, right? And you don't have the capacity to even handle it. No, that's why I was like,

This is so interesting, because it is so true. I'm like,

you just walk away from a mental breakdown.

I'm like, nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong. Yeah, let's get into the types of rescues. There's actually seven types, there

are seven types of rest. And the first one is physical rest. And this is really, I think, what everyone thinks of physical rest has two components. It has the active component, and the passive component. Passive being things like sleeping and napping, we need high quality sleep. But physical rest also includes active things like yoga, stretching, using a foam roller, getting a massage, making sure that the ergonomics of your workstation are not toxic to your body, you know, it all set up. Yeah. And the signs that you have an active physical rest deficient See, could be body aches and pain. I have the worst back pain right now. It could be swelling in your legs and feet after sitting at your desk for long periods of time compression socks, it could be spasms in your back really listening to what your body's telling you. And if you need active rest or passive

rest. Yes, my therapist, actually because I've been working on this a lot recently. And she's like, you need to do active rest. Because I'm like, I can't just sit there and like stare I can't like and she's like, No, no, like, do something I

haven't been doing. Since I got COVID The YouTube stretching videos. Oh my God. It's not yoga,

no stretch videos stretch. Yes.

I love it. And they have very common music. And there's just a girl. She's not saying anything. She's just stretching.

Yeah, you can do and there's like, there's like lights around. It's like, it's like Twilight stretch session or whatever. And you're just like, I love that. Yes. So that's

an active rise. Yes, it is. So the second type of rest is mental rest. So someone with a mental rest deficiency might find themselves lying down to go to sleep at night and their minds are raised out there their area. And they're not able to quiet it and fall asleep. Another example is the person who walks into the grocery store and is trying to remember the three items that they want and therefore, and they can't seem to recall the information. Or sometimes you walk in a room and you're like, why don't want get in here. That's me every day. So mental rest is when you stop forcing your brain to work hard and give it some time to process information, make connections and cement memories, it's essential to learning and processing. Without it, you'll have trouble remembering new information and seeing how it relates to other information. So you can find like a meditative hobby, or you know, like, try like the little mala beads or, you know, you can do knitting can do painting I love I just started painting by numbers. It's really given me a lot of mental rest because it's like I have to focus on what color goes into what little number. But you can also schedule short breaks to occur every two hours throughout your work day, they can be like five minute 10 minute breaks. And these breaks can remind you to slow down. You might also keep a notepad by your bed to jot down any nagging thoughts that might keep you awake. These are all things to kind of just keep your mind because our minds are so busy. Yes.

Honestly, I just started doing this like a few weeks ago again because my therapist told me to and I'm obsessed with her. It has helped me so much to just like because I don't have to think oh, I need to remember this later. I'm just gonna write it down. Keep it moving. Yes. And then it's not just floating in there stressing me out.

Yes, the third type of rest is social rest. Even the most outgoing of extroverts may sometimes find that they need a break from hanging out with others. Social rest is important because it gives us time to connect with ourselves and experience our own company without the distractions of others. You can tell that you need social rest. If you ever find yourself saying, Can I just get a moment for me? You feel like everyone's taking and you never feel like anyone's ever pouring into you or contributing back into your life. So you can take social rest by having quality time with loved ones who don't drain you, or by cutting off toxic relationships or just by getting clear on the friendships that you desire. But of course this could also just mean you need some alone time. Yeah, you need a solo and I leave UK alone. No one to talk to you turn your phone off.

Yes, consider me dead. Yeah,

you know, could you see that but it also could be bigger could be like, Okay, there's people that are draining me constantly that

needs to be. And honestly, when people drain, ya know, for us especially, it's like, it's 10 times more like draining

then like any, just, I'd rather physical fatigue,

being socially fatiguing to oh my god, but we're introverts. So another form of rest is sensory rest. sensory input might be the sound of phones ringing in the background, bright lights of your computer kids playing while you're at your home office, your notifications going off on your phone, your email, or even the visual backgrounds of everyone on a zoom call, you

know, I read something about how Zoom is so distracting, because you're looking at everyone's faces, but then you're also looking at your own, which is unnatural for you. Like it's unnatural for us to be looking at ourselves. Like yes, so it's like, it's so much information. You're like thinking your brain is trying to see yourself and then it's, it's yeah, it's actually a lot for your brain

that makes a lot of sense. All of these sensory inputs over time can cause you to develop a sensory overload syndrome. The number one way most of us respond to sensory overload is irritation, agitation, rage or anger. This can be countered by doing something as simple as closing your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day, as well as intentionally unplugging from electronics at the end of every day, intentional moments of sensory deprivation can begin to undo the damage inflicted by the overstimulating world. Oh, my I feel like this all the time.

And they have three temporary deprivation tanks. Yeah, I can't

do that though. Because you know, meet the water. I don't like oh, yeah, that's like, that's like my actual worst nightmare of all time. I could never, ever do that. Like just thinking about it. I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, I can't do that. My brother loves those though. Another thing is emotional rest. Emotional rest specifically refers to the rest of the experience when we feel like we can be real and authentic and how we share our feelings. Many of us carry quite a bit of emotional labor privately, in that we don't share with people what we're feeling the symptoms of an emotional rest deficit are feeling that you always have to keep your emotions in check. And that you never have the freedom to be truly authentic about what you're feeling. And emotionally rested person can answer the question, how are you today? With a truthful? I'm not okay. I am not good. And then go on to share some hard things that otherwise go unsaid? Oh, a great way to try and, and emotionally rest is to have a therapy session, or even just a journaling session.

Yeah, I know. I mean, it takes a lot to be in tune with your emotions, and then also be authentic about them and be less. I mean, we do this with each other. I'm not well, not on the I'm on the edge. No,

I brought up my therapist about 7000 times today. But I just had a session with her yesterday. And we were kind of talking about this. But she was like, she's under this. I really should. She was like, Can you like speak your emotions to be like truly and I was like, Well, I call Korean and I tell her when things are not right.

of each other, but a lot. Yeah, they don't have that in it. I mean, even if you don't have a close friend or someone you feel safe with therapy is an option. And if it's not financially available to you, you know, journaling is a great way to at least get it

out of you. Yeah, and even if you look up like prompts online, just like you don't know where to start a journal prompt. Alright, the six rest type is creative rest. This type of rest especially is important for anyone who must solve problems or brainstorm new ideas. Creative rest reawakens the awe and wonder inside each of us. It's the rest of experience when we allow ourselves to appreciate beauty in any form, whether that's natural beauty, like oceans and mountains and trees, or created beauty like art, music and zones.

I went to a play yesterday on Rouge and I was sitting there feeling like it was creative rest because I felt like I was just absorbing the beauty. And I was like, Wow, I'm I'm downloading some Yes.

Really? Anything like that? Like I feel like museums are like things that you go to like they're always so underrated for like how practical they really do make a big difference. Yes. The way that you can tell when you have a deficit in this particular area is when you have a hard time being innovative. When you have a hard time brainstorming when problem solving is difficult for you. Creativity is more than just art. It's really any type of innovation. Creative rest is inspiration. It's taking a beautiful hike. It's going on a road trip. It's listening to your favorite album when you take inspiration. You output creativity.

I love it. No. I do think also it can be as simple as like blasting music.

Oh 1,000% It's true. 1,000% That was me all morning this morning. I know

I'm gonna go listen to that song.

Okay, And then finally, spiritual rest. spiritual rest is the ability to connect beyond the physical and mental and feel a deep sense of belonging, love, acceptance and purpose. To receive this, engage in something greater than yourself and add prayer meditation or community involvement in your daily routine. Somebody who might be suffering from a spiritual rest deficit is someone who goes to work for a paycheck, but they're like, what I do doesn't even matter. It doesn't benefit anybody if I do it or don't do it with excellent or not with, you know, it's good. If it's bad, whatever. It's doesn't make a difference. Oh, that's a that's a bad feeling. I hate that. Yes. So you want to find a way to connect to desire for meaning, whether that's through a community, a work culture, where you feel like what you do matters, or a faith based culture?

Yeah, it's really just feeling like you're a part of something.

Yeah. And you know what, I think, you know, the internet is such a wild place. But I think one place with social media, particularly is like you can find people that find

a community. Yeah, yeah. Literally for anything, literally, for it is faith based.

It could be anything. Okay, so now that we know the benefits of resting and the types, how do we actually implement?

Yeah, so you have to take rest seriously, and give it a higher priority. The world is not generous with downtime, there's always more to be done, or things that could have done been done a little bit better. So to harvest the benefits of rest, you need to nurture it and protect it. And that means reserving time for it in your daily, daily that week, they live monthly,

not You're not just Sunday night,

daily schedules and in your life more broadly. Take a look at your calendar, is it stuffed only with meetings, deadlines, domestic responsibilities, and if so, spend some time now thinking about when and where in your schedule, day leg day like you can start to make and protect some time for quality rest. If there's no apparent space, what are you willing and able to give up? To make the necessary space, you might need to get creative, for instance, like making a childcare swapping arrangement with a friend so that you're able to carve out some adult downtime or collaborating with your partners so that, you know, you both agree to give rest of priority amid all the other demands on your life. Remember that rest is a skill that improves with practice. So just as it takes time to settle into a new job or place, or a few days to shift into vacation mode. So too will your mind require time to start harnessing the power of rest. So be easy on yourself. It's a lost art. It's a loss. That's why it's called the lost art of lack. Yes, it's it's hard.

And guess what you have to do with art practices you

do you do. So we hope you learned more about what it means to actually rest the different types of rest and the ways it benefits every area of your life. That was good. I was really inspired.

No, I'm like, I really have been getting better at it post COVID Because I realized how good it felt to like actually rest that now it's like five o'clock comes and I'm like, do I actually have to keep doing this? No, I don't. Yeah, so I'm gonna rest.

I'm gonna rest. I'm gonna rest it up. So let's introduce our hottie of the week. I

Fuck, okay. I'm gonna kill a doughnut. Okay, I know. I love a doughnut. But as a gluten free gal. It's actually kind of hard to find a really like a gluten free doughnut. That's like you don't even know that this is gluten free. Whereas bagels you can and cinnamon rolls you can. And I love a cinnamon roll.

I think that's great. That's a great choice. I

love it. So I'm gonna fuck the cinnamon roll and kill the donut. Donut and I'm sorry to donuts. But also my. The other thing I'm thinking of is I prefer like a maple bar.

Oh, I wasn't maple bar girl to Maple bar Gala. That's actually something that you know how we have our certain things where we're like, we'll eat gluten for that less. And it's about a once a year occasion where I'm like, I'll eat gluten for that. If I if I had the right maple bar, it would be like, I'm gonna go I will split one with you. But they're risky because sometimes they're a little stale. You know? I had the right sometimes

if there's like a Krispy Kreme like that type of. Yeah, it's a bit warm. Like, oh, fuck, that's good. Okay, yours are historical figures. Oh, for all over the map. Oh, we have King Tut. Oh, we have George Washington. And we have Shakespeare. This

is easy. Really? We gotta kill the slave owner. Well, I guess King Tut probably own slave to Oh, definitely.

Yeah, Shakespeare. Probably not though. Yeah. Yeah, but he was before.

33:50

You might. You might

it was also. But he was also in the years. He was in Europe.

We got to kill George Washington. I mean, come on. We gotta kill him. Yeah, I mean, he really I mean, he did good things, but he also said it look where we are now. Right? You know, I don't want to take us back to the founding fathers rolls back him Jesus Christ. Anyways, so we're gonna kill George Washington now. When you said oh fuck Mary County. You said King Tut is

fucking tough. Yeah,

I got to know what's going on. Right? You know what I mean?

I know I Yes. I know. Like off the bat. Yes. But because I know

Shakespeare gay. I wouldn't mind being married to a gay man. Also he could like

write he'd be very entertaining. Like he would like write you Paul.

Well, then things but then it's like, do I want to be a queen? Sure.

Could be a queen. You could be the queen of of Egypt.

I don't know. My gut. My gut says Buck King Tut and Mary Shakespeare. squeals right.

You know why I think is King Tut. Also it's like very luxurious.

It's like, do I yeah, this is a luxury,

34:55

but it's not as realistic.

Right? I mean, that the life I want right? Whereas like

Shakespeare like you could just have a nice quiet life and when the garden Yeah and like enjoy a book

yeah I think that's the right thing and you know King

Tut was also inbred as fuck oh had like club fee and fucking died at 19 So there's that

okay I feel good about that yeah
