There are seven types of tiredness, and we need to consider seven types of rest.

(Understanding that we need to have an integrated view of all this, as they are not isolated from
each other).

Physical → Physical rest isn’t just about resting the body - it's about having an active body.
Energy is generated through movement. There is no spirituality without the body. Those who live
in a chair need to get up, occupy other spaces (e.g., seeing the open sky, touching grass), and
step out of that place.

Mental → Curating content (what we read, watch), consciously using our bodies. Work shouldn't
be solely cognitive; we need to discover what mentally restores us (e.g., engaging in creative
work).

Emotional →

a. With memory (intentionally recalling things that give us hope, e.g., reconnecting with people
from school to evoke positive emotions from shared experiences, e.g., reminders that God
provides - for example, the fact that all pain is temporary, or 'Consider the lilies of the field... the
birds of the air...' - in this "consider," practical help is found in contemplation: observing what is
outside of us),

b. With objectives. We need to intelligently organize our lives. We should put ourselves in
situations where pleasant emotions are also experienced with sanctity. Mourn with those who
mourn and rejoice with those who rejoice. We might mistakenly believe that attending a funeral
or ICU is more Christian than attending a birthday party. We might think that crying for hours is
more holy than celebrating. But celebration is a mandate in the community. Emotional
intentionality means purposefully engaging in moments of prayer. Taking time to share good
news.

Sensorial → Hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch. We live amidst auditory and visual
overload in this world of screens. We can find rest in silence. Taking a shower with our eyes
closed, using scented foam. Exposing our bodies to experiences that heighten other senses.
Eating without speaking, savoring the taste. Wearing comfortable clothes. Light clothing.
Unwinding the vacuum-sealed body. We rest when we learn not to overwhelm our senses and
experience them healthily. Seeing genuine beauty where it exists.

Creative → Create! Get involved in other projects! Experience creation outside of monotony.
Learn to do the same thing in a different way. Be creatively good. We live in a world creatively
corrupted. From trivial sexual content to people-hunting apps. Let's be creative for good.

Spiritual → Rest is a person. Let's find rest in God.

Social → Solitude, resting from certain topics/subjects too.

Sometimes we rest in only one way.

Social rest is solitude: not constantly being among people. Many leaders are around people
24/7. There is no community life without starting with solitude. Jesus withdrew from the crowd
and spent hours with God. Then he came down and engaged with the closest community.
Afterward, he engaged with the larger crowd. Ref. Bibliography: "Superocupados," Editora Fiel.
Jesus knew how to say no. We need to say many social 'nos.' Jesus said emphatic nos.
