This encourages me to think about the ways I rest and what the balance is between them. Not something I’ve thought about in this way before.

That’s great! I learned about it earlier this year and had never thought of it this way. It has been incredibly helpful for me. I hope it is for you as well!

Yes! It’s so great to reflect on how we rest and why we might not always feel replenished if we need a different type of rest.

Because my work as a climbing guide is so physical, I think the most important types of rest for me are mental, creative, emotional and social.

After a long stint of guiding, I love reading first thing in the morning, sitting at my desk and writing, or debriefing with my friends and family about how my work has been going. Some extra couch time is nice too.

that first picture! I want to climb that. I love thinking about climbing when I'm resting. :-)

It’s an amazing climb called Outside Chance at Moonarie, only an Australian grade 16 but super speccy!
