82: Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith | Sacred Rest

Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith joins me to discuss the 7 types of rest and the impact depletion in one or more areas can have in your day to day living. She specifically addresses sensory rest, social rest, creative rest and the difference between sleep and rest.

Questions Dr. Saundra and I Discussed:

1. (4:51) Since publishing a podcast episode with my husband on how we Sabbath I have been asked  what we mean by practicing Sabbath or intentional rest. In your book, Sacred Rest you write, "Time chimes in loudly over the roar of our anxious minds, initiating a battle between warring fears and courageous rest. Aborting rest empties me of everything holy. It strips me of the ability to treasure life and peels away the value of being." Dive into those words a bit and share your journey of intentionally pursuing rest.
2. (10:00) Something I LOVE about your book is the 7 key areas of rest you share and how to determine what area you may be lacking in.  Will you share those 7 areas and touch on a few ways to determine what type of rest we are missing?
3. (17:07) What is the difference between rest and sleep?
4. (19:12) Tell us about rest quiz.com. 
5. (23:50) Something that is vital to rest is setting boundaries. How can we go about creating boundaries when it comes to rest?
6. (29:37) Being a physician, what are some overall health impacts a lack of rest has on our bodies and brain function?
7. (32:07) Let's say someone has a sensory deficit, what is a good thing for them to do?
