senses a rest from the experiences of the physical world, for example, closing your eyes for 1-2 minutes after sitting in front of a computer for long hours.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><b>Emotional rest<\/b>: This type of rest is often confused with mental rest.\u00a0 Emotional rest refers to the state of denying oneself to be overwhelmed with the feelings of others and creating a space or balance.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><b>Mental rest<\/b>: This involves stopping the mind from thinking by creating space between one thought to another without overlapping them.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><b>Physical rest<\/b>: This type of rest involves the relaxation of the entire body.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are happy to announce we didn&#8217;t get any rest today!\u00a0 We are just too active.\u00a0 The smell of that delicious elixir, coffee, wafted through the house at 6:30 AM, signaling we better get into gear.\u00a0 We did our morning thing and sat at the breakfast table, discussing the plans for the day.<\/p>\n<p>After a quick check of the calendar, it was obvious Halloween needed to be put away for another year.\u00a0 \u00a0We got the storage containers ready and merrily pranced around the house on a search and seizure mission.\u00a0 By noon, 90% of Halloween was safely tucked away.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65335\" style=\"width: 660px\"
