1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In the middle of a busy season—like, say, launching a new book—it is so easy to view time as a resource to be earned rather than an experience to be felt. In this episode, I explore the &quot;Workaholic Quiz&quot; from Week 10 of The Artist's Way and ask: Is your busyness fueled by joy, or is it a shield against the vulnerability of being still? Using Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith’s “7 Types of Rest” and the design concept of White Space, we discuss how rest isn't a reward for finishing your work—it’s the fuel that makes the work possible. Pre-order the New Book: Art Is How God Loves Us (Coming July 2026!) Join the Launch Team: The Sacred Studio Google Form (Last call to read with Merideth in June!) Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Learn more about her research at RestQuiz.com or her main site, DrSaundraDaltonSmith.com.
