Why Your Brain is asking for rest... 6 Things Dreaming Is Doing for your Brain...

 Feeling tired or stuck? Your brain might be asking for something simple: rest. 

Resting, sleeping, and even daydreaming aren’t a luxury—they’re how your brain resets, heals, and grows. Whether you’re deep asleep or just lying down with your eyes closed, your brain is busy doing important work to keep you healthy, creative, and strong.

Here are 6 powerful ways rest and daydreaming help you to keep your brain healthy, creative, and protected.

✨ 1. It cleans your brain.

While you sleep, your brain clears out waste and harmful toxins that build up during the day. Think of sleep as a nighttime cleaning crew providing a deep clean for your mind.

✨ 2. Rest helps you remember.

Sleep strengthens your memory and allows your brain to store what you learned, helping you remember things better. It’s like hitting “save” on everything you experienced.

✨ 3. Dreams allow you to solve problems.

Dreams are more than just stories—your brain uses them to work through ideas and big emotions. Ever wake up with a solution? That’s dream power.

✨ 4. Rest boosts your creativity.

Quiet moments spark new ideas and help you think outside the box. Even short rest breaks can boost your imagination. Some of the world’s greatest inventors swore by naps!

✨ 5. Sleep protects your physical body.

Rest keeps your mood balanced and your immune system strong. 

A well-rested brain helps keep your heart, and nervous system healthy. Without enough rest, your body can feel off-balance and limit your physical performance.

 ✨ 6. Stillness opens imagination.

When you slow down, your brain starts to dream big again.

Quiet time gives your brain space to wander and dream. This is where new ideas and visions for your life can take root. So if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or burned out—pause. Close your eyes. Let your thoughts float. Rest isn’t lazy, it’s life-giving.

Beloved, you deserve that kind of rest. You’re invited to slow down with us June Sundays for Soundbath Meditation, where rest, rhythm, and stillness come together to soothe the mind and nourish the soul.

Make space. Feel better. Let your brain do its thing.✨ With care,

Question: What Blocks Your Willingness to Rest?

Do You Resist Rest? And if so, what underlying beliefs and narratives drive you away from rest? I am dismantling my own resistance to rest, sleep and healing, being more authentic and taking the very REST medicine that I insist our clients take.
