Episode notes
Use Reading As An Easy Daily Rest
- Read regularly as a practical, accessible daily rest that balances escape and groundedness.
- Examples: morning Bible and nonfiction for Kendra, 30-minute nightly candle-and-tea reading, car-seat reading before work from listeners.
Put Rest In The Calendar First
- Schedule rest into your calendar so it actually happens instead of waiting for 'everything to be done.'
- Kendra's examples: daily lunch break with a good meal and a five-hour Friday block as a personal Sabbath reset.
Use A Short Nap Triggered By Droopy Eyes
- Try short naps (10–20 minutes) triggered by droopy eyes to refresh without grogginess.
- Kendra's method: lie down, set a 17-minute timer, white noise optional; many listeners use 15–20 minute naps too.
