Rest and relaxation are essential to good health. When the body is relaxed, the heart rate slows, blood pressure is controlled, and the activity of stress hormones is reduced, effectively improving the overall wellness of the mind and body.
According to the Mayo Clinic, relaxation is "a process that decreases the stress effects on your mind and body."
Despite her busy schedule, Brie ensures that she always gets quiet time to rest. She shared her sentiments with her followers in an Instagram post, with a poignant quote that perfectly explained why rest is important.
"Rest is the conversation between what we love to do and how we love to be. Rest is not stasis but the essence of giving and receiving. Rest is an act of remembering, imaginatively and intellectually, but also physiologically and physically."
