Protection From Harm: How Black Women Are Enabling Rest.

Hello, and welcome. Let’s jump right into this lesson on how Black women are enabling rest. According to the US Surgeon General, “The second component is to enable adequate rest.

Insufficient rest, whether lack of sleep or lack of quality rest, or from long work hours, night shift work, stress, anxiety, pain, health conditions, medications, caffeine, alcohol, or possibly from lack of refresh breaks or working multiple jobs, can impair the physical, emotional, and mental health of workers. Long work hours have been shown to raise workers’ risk for exhaustion, anxiety, and depression. Fatigue diminishes productivity as the risk of burnout soars. When Black women have adequate rest, [they better perform at work] and they are less vulnerable to workplace mistakes and injuries.”

Job stress is the number 1 cause of poverty, disease and death in our community.

Here's how Black women are enabling rest

Black career women are eliminating job stress to live the life of their dreams. You can consider opportunities for rest and renewal simply by carving time out of your busy life. If you just cannot do what I recommended in the video, then here is an alternative. Take a hot bubble bath. Yes, a bath. Sacrifice 20 minutes, three nights a week of time, focus and attention on Elohim. Include in your bath your favorite essential oil mixed with Jojoba oil or Safflower oil. Pray, cry, worship, ask for direction, and listen for the answer, then do. Do this for 40 days and measure your results. Watch the video for more information on enabling rest. Then come back and comment. What is the recommendation that I give for complete rest and restoration?
