🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟Does the new year ever really feel so “new” and fresh for long? For many of us, the end of the calendar year means time spent with family, and hopefully a few days away from work. But the irony is that they can still feel physically and emotionally taxing. You see,  we were born into burnout culture. And that “two weeks PTO” carrot at the end of the stick ain’t cutting it. Vacations and holidays are wonderful, but they rarely leave us feeling rested. The holidays, and the winter months especially, are a fine time to step back and evaluate, perhaps even redefine, our relationship with rest and work.It’s time for a cultural shift away from the drudgery of burnout culture. It’s time to embrace a culture of rest.   This week, Karlee revisits a restful exchange with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a Board-Certified internal medicine physician, speaker, and award-winning author. She is an international well-being thought leader and author of numerous books, including her bestseller Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.  Her insight on the seven types of rest helps people understand their specific rest deficits as a means to overcome burnout, increase overall happiness, and live more meaningful lives.In this episode, you’ll identify what burnout looks and feels like, and you’ll start to recognize the effect sustained burnout can have on your quality of life and your relationships. You’ll recognize how living and growing up in a burnout culture has taught us to treat vacations as cures, and why those breaks never really relieve our emotional burdens. You’ll also learn about the seven types of specific rest you need, which of them you need more of, and practical ways you can start to nourish your rest deficits. If you’re ready to rip the bandaid off of burnout culture and take the time to deepen your understanding of what rest is and start to get more of it, then this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:(3:07 ) Exploring the Seven Types of Rest (11:57) Why you don’t feel rested after vacations and holidays (18:00) Practical ways to approach rest(28:26) Reclaiming your best work and relationships(37:48) The normalization of burnoutResources Mentioned in this Episode:Episode 138: From Burnout Culture to Rest Culture with Saundra Dalton-SmithVideo: TED: The 7 types of rest every person needs Dr. Saundra Dalton-SmithBook: Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity by Saundra Dalton-SmithFREE Quiz: Personal Rest AssessmentConnect with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith:Website: DrDaltonSmith.comTwitter: @DrDaltonSmithFacebook: Dr. Saundra Dalton – SmithInstagram: @DrDaltonSmithPinterest: @DrDaltonSmithConnect With Karlee: WebsiteLinkedInInstagram
