Take a quick inventory:  Do you often feel tired when you wake up in the morning? Have difficulty concentrating? Are your emotions easily affected by the actions of others? Have headaches, muscle aches, or generalized fatigue with no known medical diagnosis?  Do you depend on quick energy fixes like caffeine or sugar to help you get through the day? If you answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you’re in need of genuine rest. How can you keep your energy, happiness, creativity and relationships thriving in the midst of never-ending family demands, career pressures and simply the stress of everyday life? Here’s the doctor’s orders: Rest is not optional. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith is an author, speaker, and board-certified physician with an active medical practice in Alabama.  And she’s found seven types of rest lacking in the lives of those she treats: physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social and creative. Plus, she knows firsthand the toll a deficiency of rest can take. She’s on the show to share how you can find and embrace true rest today to live the good life we’re all after. WHAT’S YOUR CAUSE?
