Recovery framework Mental Distance Reset expectations because without us even knowing we tend to set rulebooks for others and ourselves. Reset priorities and include making ourselves a priority or else we get compassion fatigue. @jen_ayy_

Recovery framework Feeling less than Start building internal validation → complimenting yourself, bragging about you, patting yourself on your back. Implement boundaries as in the more often you put these boundaries up, the more con idence builds back up. Let you build and invest in yourself. Speak kindly, you want others to treat you kindly so start with yourself. Being patient and compassionate is the irst step. f f @jen_ayy_

Did you know there’s 7 types of rest? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith @jen_ayy_

Did you know there’s 7 types of rest? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith Physical: Two types are passive (sleep 7+ hrs at a time or naps to complete 1 rem cycle) or active (stretch, get massages, etc.) Mental: de icit is caused by overtaxing your thinking, so you can reference checklists like groceries or packing, create a shutdown routine to separate work and life, take a break from problem solving, or meditate. f @jen_ayy_

Did you know there’s 7 types of rest? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith Social: evaluate your relationships by spending time with people who give you energy, spend less time with those soak up your energy, lastly introverts should block out time to be alone in silence. Spiritual: be a part of something bigger than yourself. You can volunteer, work a job that feels purpose-driven, participate in faith based activities that are aligned to your belief system. @jen_ayy_

Did you know there’s 7 types of rest? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith Sensory: the modern individual is overstimulated so take a break from social media and turn o noti ications both sounds and visual alerts. Set time aside to relaxing ambiance (soothing music with candles or dim light and mint/lavender smells) Creative: appreciate beauty in any form, whether natural (sunrise/sunset watching or walk outside) or human created(museums or art festivals or engage in inspiring music, books, documentaries, etc). f ff @jen_ayy_

Did you know there’s 7 types of rest? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith Emotional: de icit occurs when you feel you can’t be authentic. Ex I used to be a cosmetologist so we always had to make sure the customer was pleased when they left the salon. Try spending time with those you can be your complete honest self without ilters. Consider speaking to a therapist to release emotional labor. f f @jen_ayy_
