When the Rest as the Armor Is the Right Move

It is important to say clearly: the rest as the armor is the right move for the introvert sleep deprivation, the chronic energy depletion, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-armored. The rest as the armor is the wrong move when the sleep deprivation is the source of the medical condition, the chronic insomnia, or the sleep disorder that requires the professional intervention. The honest self-inquiry is whether the sleep deprivation is the source of the introversion, or whether the sleep deprivation is the source of the medical condition. The first is the source of the engagement, and the second is the source of the professional attention.

The Takeaway

The rest as the psychological armor for the introverts is one of the most under-recognized, and most under-celebrated, integrations in modern introverted life. The integration is the source of the emotional regulation, the psychological armor, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply armored life. The cure is not the more extroverting. The cure is the rest, the recharge, and the engagement with the body as the source of the mind. The next time you feel the chronic depletion, pause long enough to ask: am I getting the rest I need? The question is the source of the engagement. The engagement is the source of the more meaningful, more armored, more deeply rested life.
