Ep74 - Rest, Recovery & Mythopoetics...Yes, They Go Together - The R.Y.S.E Podcast

In this episode, David Sarkany delves deep into the essential yet overlooked importance of rest, recovery, and sleep.

As a personal trainer, health coach, and hypnotherapist, David sheds light on why doing nothing—genuine relaxation—is a cornerstone of overall health, beyond the flashy wellness trends like cold plunges and compression therapy. He emphasizes that true recovery happens when we detach from stimuli, allowing the body to naturally reset.

David goes further, explaining how sleep—often the most underutilised performance enhancer—can dramatically improve not just physical recovery, but also mental clarity and hormonal balance. He explores how chronic sleep deprivation can lead to burnout, stress, and an overall decrease in performance, appetite control, and libido. Optimising sleep (7-9 hours) isn't just a recommendation; it's vital for optimal living. Shifting to the psycho-spiritual realm, David explains the profound role of mythopoetic thinking in life.

He discusses how adopting a mythopoetic worldview enhances our mental, emotional, and spiritual journeys. In a world where materialism can make life feel dull and dry, this lens helps you reclaim a deep sense of purpose, beauty, and eros in your daily experience.

This episode is a powerful reminder that both rest and a robust mythopoetic worldview are essential for living a balanced, fulfilling life. Learn how aligning your physical recovery with your psycho-spiritual growth can help you thrive in all aspects of life.
