Emotional rest: Yes, we all need to charge our emotional batteries. You must not ignore emotional health at any cost. Talking to close friends or family usually does the trick for most. But if you feel nothing is helping, you should not hesitate in contacting an expert.(Pexels)

Social rest: If you are an introvert and have to be in company of a lot of people on daily basis, you definitely need an ample amount of 'me time' to rest and recharge. Go for a solo walk, read a book and enjoy a nice tea break all by yourself.(Pexels)
