Different Kinds of Rest
We go to bed when we're tired. But in fact, rest is much more than sleeping at night. Many of us are missing out on the other kinds of rest that we really need.
The first type of rest we need is physical rest. It can be passive (被动的) or active. Passive physical rest refers to sleeping, while active physical rest includes activities like yoga (瑜伽). These activities help your body to relax.
Have you ever heard your parents or anyone else say that they have a hard time focusing on (专注于) their work? Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep, they have trouble "turning off" their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts? These people need mental rest. You can advise them to take a short break every two hours throughout their workday. These breaks remind them to slow down a bit.
The third type of rest is sensory rest. Bright lights, computer screens and background noise can make us feel tired. But this problem is easy to solve. You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronic products for a while.
Then comes creative rest. Allowing yourself to take in the beauty of nature—even if it's just at a local park—provides you with this type of rest. You can also place your favorite artwork around your desk. Enjoying art is another great way to get creative rest.
The last two types of rest we need are social and emotional (情感的) rest. Spend some time with positive people. Try to open up to them and share the hard things that trouble you lately.
Now you know we need much more than a good night's sleep to feel well rested. It's time for us to focus on getting the right type of rest we need.
