Internal medicine physician, work-life integration researcher and author of “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity”, Saundra Dalton-Smith talks about burning out when she became a working mother, which inspired her to write her book about the seven kinds of rest and become an advocate for restoring wellbeing in workplace. Saundra lost her birth-mother during childbirth and was raised by her American great-grandmother Fanny, who lived to be 103. Fanny teaches us about having a strong sense of self; about listening to your body and eating well; and about enjoying nature and the still moments of meditation, nature, prayer and “listening to the wind.” We also learn from Saundra's birth-mother Sarah, who teaches us that we never know when our time will come so every moment is precious and we should leave nothing unsaid, and most importantly: we must always express our love to our loved ones.

Wir evaluieren heute, ob wir alle sieben Arten der Erholung bekommen, die wir brauchen, um halbwegs bei Sinnen zu bleiben. Wir haben beide guten Schlaf, was uns schon ziemlich viele Punkte sichert, doch wir reden auch darüber, wie es um weniger beachtete Sorten der Erholung steht: Die soziale Erholung beispielsweise, die Mia kriegt, wenn sie mit Leuten zusammen ist, die sie nicht zum Smalltalk zwingen. Oder die mentale Erholung, die Mika fühlt, wenn man ihr einen Zettel mit Organisatorischem aushändigt, statt sie stundenlang vollzulabern. Nicht in jeder Hinsicht sind wir so relaxed, wie wir gerne wären, aber nach der Folge sind wir auf jeden Fall spirituell erholt.—Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity, Dr. Saundra Dalton-SmithDas große Buch vom Schlaf, Matthew Walker Alkoholdelir und Traumschlaf, 1967Chester Pearlman, Ramon Greenberg—Diese Folge wird von der Sexual Wellness Plattform CHEEX unterstützt!

If you want to be happy, it helps that you have happy friends. And it helps even more if your friends' friends are happy too. I begin this episode discussing how social connections can influence our health and happiness. Source: Tom Rath author of Well Being (https://amzn.to/3xcMYUM)  You probably think you know what your physical limits are. For example, when you exercise, you know when to stop because you “hit the wall.”  Actually though, that may not be such a good indicator. You could likely do more. That's according to Alex Hutchinson. He says human endurance is flexible. After all, people break records all the time. People can achieve what was once thought to be impossible. How does that all work? Listen to this fascinating discussion with Alex who is author of the book Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance (https://amzn.to/3n9j7I7) You could define rest by what you are NOT doing. We often look at rest as something we do to take a break from something else. However, that may be looking at rest all wrong. Rest turns out to be more complicated than that. Board-certified internal medicine physician Saundra Dalton-Smith says humans need different types of rest to restore different parts of ourselves. Even if you get plenty of sleep, there are other things that can mentally exhaust you and people who can leave you drained regardless of how much sleep you get. For those things you need a different kind of rest. In fact, Sandra has identified 7 kinds. She joins me to explain rest in a whole new way. Saundra is author of the book Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity (https://amzn.to/2RA9t5w). Spring can be very uncomfortable if you have allergies.

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.  Somewhere in the fast-paced chaos of the modern world we've forgotten how to sit on our arse and do nothing. Alpha-athletes, hustle culture and the corporate world tell us that we must constantly push ourselves, that time spent resting is time lost, but it's left us in a vulnerable place, experiencing burnout and feeling like failures. This is why we need a radical Rest Revolution, because rest is crucial to our well-being and allows us to show up as our best selves.  Niall is joined by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a board-certified physician and author of ‘Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity'. After suffering extreme burnout herself, Saundra discovered seven types of rest lacking in the lives of those she encounters in her clinical practice and research - physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social, creative, and the effects a deficit in any one of these can have on your health, happiness, relationships, creativity, and productivity.

Today's guest is Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith, or, as I like to describe her, the goddess of rest. Saundra has arrived into our lives at the perfect time to invite us all to take a much needed break. Along with being the goddess of rest, she is a board certified internal medicine physician and a work life integration researcher. As a physician, author and mother, she understands that life's demands can leave you feeling mentally overwhelmed, emotionally drained and physically tired. Who else can relate to that? I certainly can. In her new bestselling book, A Sacred Rest Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity, she teaches us about the different types of rest might, what happens to the body when we rest and why this pause is so needed in our fast-paced society.Find more information on Saundra:Website: https://www.drdaltonsmith.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdaltonsmith/Book: https://www.drdaltonsmith.com/publicationsPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!A big thank you to our sponsors:Huel Black Edition is a high protein, nutritionally complete meal in a convenient shake.

Are those two-week vacations not really doing it for you anymore?Better question…have they ever really done it for you? Packing your bags, catching a plane to some exotic locale, dealing with airport security, shifting into tourist mode for a week, then doing it all again just to come home, how is that considered rest? The truth is that we were born into a burnout culture. And the “two weeks PTO” carrot on the stick ain't cutting it. Vacations are wonderful, but they aren't “rest”. They're like putting a bandaid on burnout when what we really need is resuscitation. It's time for a cultural exchange that shifts us away from the drudgery of burnout culture and encourages us to embrace a culture of rest. This week, Karlee welcomes Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a Board-Certified internal medicine physician, speaker, and award-winning author. She is an international well-being thought leader and author of numerous books, including her bestseller Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity. Her insight on the seven types of rest helps people understand their specific rest deficits as a means to overcome burnout, increase overall happiness, and live more meaningful lives.In this episode, you'll identify what burnout looks and feels like, and you'll start to recognize the effect sustained burnout can have on your quality of life and your relationships. You'll recognize how living and growing up in a burnout culture has taught us to treat vacations as cures, and why those breaks never really relieve our emotional burdens. You'll also learn about the seven types of specific rest you need, which of them you need more of, and practical ways you can start to nourish your rest deficits. If you're ready to rip the bandaid off of burnout culture and take the time to deepen your understanding of what rest is and start to get more of it, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, Dr. Saundra shares: The seven types of rest, How to weave rest into your daily routine And practical truth when you feel guilty about resting.

Are you living a full AND yet still restful life? Most of us aren't.We view rest as something out there. Something we get to enjoy once everything else is done. Of course, everything never gets done and so we never really rest. This leads to burnout.Which is exactly what Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a busy physician and mother, experienced. She counseled her patients to rest and take good care of themselves, but realized she wasn't taking her own advice. This started her journey of discovering and researching about rest.She quickly realized rest was more than just a good night of sleep. In fact, she came to understand that there are seven different types of rest: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, sensory and creative.Are you feeling a little weary as you enter into the new year? Perhaps you need to rest a little differently?Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith is a Board-Certified internal medicine physician, speaker, and award-winning author. She is the author of numerous books including her bestseller Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity, including insight on the seven types of rest needed to optimize your productivity, increase your overall happiness, overcome burnout, and live your best life.Some highlights from our conversation:Dr. Saundra discovered that rest happens through restorative activities. We need to discover where we are depleted and then pour back into our lives accordingly.What do we do if we are truly burned out? Focus on one area where we are truly depleted. Find a manageable and repeatable activity that is restorative and start incorporating that into your daily life.Dr. Saundra and I talk about her belief that science and Scripture are not mutually exclusive from one another – they work together to give a better picture of health and wellness.Dr. Saundra shares that practicing Sabbath is what helped come back from burnout.We also talk about the medical system and how rest isn't taught, practiced or encouraged for medical professionals. The impact is more doctors leaving the field and less entering into it.We discuss meditation and what some of the positive impacts are for those who meditate – better sleep, better focus, and the ability to be more attentive to the present versus lost in the past of fretting over the future.Dr. Saundra shares why she loves Isaiah 30:15, the Scripture we meditated on this week, and how it had become a life verse for her.Finally, she encourages us that rest results in gifts. Her book outlines 7 kinds of rest – that yield 12 different gifts.

Our Western culture has created a focus on work and accomplishment - to the detriment of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.  Instead, we offer that each and every one of us need…deserve…or rather, should demand more rest and relaxation. In the words of the Nap Bishop herself, “rest requires a revolution.”    SHOW NOTES   Dr. Trisha Hersey, known as the Nap Bishop, is spreading the good word about rest. Hersey's movement on rest was inspired by studying slavery and realising that slaves working to exhaustion was part of the brutal origin of capitalism - and her own inheritance.  Hersey says her rest work is not just about the treatment of Black and Indigenous people, but fundamentally how Black and indigenous people are treated is a  bellwether for how society is functioning.  She believes everyone benefits when we question our attitudes around the “grind culture” of work and productivity.  Hersey's message is literally about taking naps, but also about other kids of rest.  Her ministry comes with four tenets:   Resting pushes back on and disrupts on white supremacy and capitalism.  We've been programmed to believe that the more we produce, the more worth we have, which has negatively impacted our well-being. Our bodies are a site of liberation.  Naps provide a portal to imagine, invent and heal.  Our dream space has been stolen and we want it back. We will reclaim it via rest.   Saundra Dalton-Smith is a medical doctor who was raised with the message that as a Black woman she would always have to work harder than others.  As a physician, she listened to her patients talk about fatigue and realized that her patients were not resting, which she turned inward to address her own deep fatigue.  Dalton-Smith, who wrote Sacred Rest - Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore your Sanity, focuses her work on the different kinds of rest we need - emotional, physical, social, spiritual, mental, social, sensory, and creative rest; and the gifts that come from that rest, such as boundaries, reflection, freedom, acceptance.     The message is rest, listeners, rest.  It is good for all the parts of our human-ness.   The Nap Bishop Is Spreading the Good Word: Rest - The New York Times Sacred Rest - Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore your Sanity

Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith shares from her book “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.” She talks about how to identify physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual and sensory fatigue and ways to find rest in each area. *Originally aired July 7, 2022* Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

“Dạo này anh thế nào vẫn còn hay thường thức khuya không? Chậu cây 2 đứa trồng, dạo này lá xanh không?” - trích lời bài hát "Dạo này anh thế nào?" Vì sao là thường xanh? Có liên quan gì tới bản thân và radio của mình? Audio lần này, mình sẽ trải lòng về câu chuyện thường xanh của riêng mình, về những ngày qua của mình, những ngày sau khi mình trở về từ chuyến đi mùa hè đáng nhớ. M. bảo, "... Dop có thể tưởng tượng mình là 1 cái cây, ai làm gì đi, qua đi lại thì cây vẫn cứ mãi xanh và reo trong gió.” Mình lại nhớ đến những dòng thư mà V. đã viết cho mình, những dòng viết đúng thời điểm trong radio Khi người lớn cô đơn năm ấy. Những dòng viết tới bây giờ trở thành những dòng viết thường xanh của riêng mình, gợi lên cảm giác khó tả dù đọc lại ở bất kỳ thời điểm nào chăng nữa: “Có những người chỉ nên thuộc về “năm”. Vì có lẽ, họ đã là giờ, là ngày, là tháng của nhiều người khác nên chỉ có thể là “năm” của mình.” Bài viết tiếng Việt tóm tắt về 7 kiểu nghỉ ngơi của Vietcetera: https://vietcetera.com/vn/7-kieu-nghi-ngoi-cho-co-the-nap-nang-luong-dung-cach Bảng trắc nghiệm về nghỉ ngơi mà mình đã làm (bằng tiếng Anh): https://www.restquiz.com/quiz/rest-quiz-test/ Sách mình đã đọc tên là "Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity" của Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith. -/-

This is the episode that can change the quality of your life because this is for you if you are tired all the time.  We actually don't have a sophisticated language around our exhaustion. But this week's guest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, wrote the book, Sacred Rest, where she outlines the 7 different types of rest, which you will hear about today. This is a book about honoring rest in a society that values productivity as a way to express your worth.  We also go into why we experience Zoom fatigue which is one type of “tired” as well as why our brain doesn't always shut off when our heads are on our pillow and we're just thinking about that challenge or that tough conversation of the day. Then there is social rest. Interestingly, there are some people that pour into us, and then there are also some people that pull from us. Dr. Dalton-Smith also shares a quiz you can take to uncover what kind of rest you may need more of in your life. You will also hear about my 5 secrets to goal-achieving free workshop where you will have an opportunity to hear about the mindset and strategy I implement to achieve big goals that actually matter to my happiness, joy, and fulfillment. Now, if you have big goals you want to achieve in 2022, I'm sharing the insights that have worked for me in terms of achieving really big goals, whether it's been relocating my family from the United States to Australia, earning two full scholarships to private institutions, or birthing my children on my own terms. Get ready to uncover the insights that have worked for me and that I have taught my clients. And so, if you have big goals that you want to achieve and goals that really matter to you, then you are going to have a good sense of the five things you'll want to incorporate in your plan, if you have a plan. Sign-up for the recording today: www.melissallarena.com/goals it will be available for two-weeks only. Be ready to rethink what's possible in your next chapter. About this week's guest Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith is a Board-Certified internal medicine physician, speaker, and award-winning author. She is an international well-being thought-leader featured in numerous media outlets including Prevention, MSNBC, Women's Day, FOX, Fast Company, Psychology Today, INC, CNN Health, and TED.com. She is the author of numerous books including her bestseller Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity, including insight on the seven types of rest needed to optimize your productivity, increase your overall happiness, overcome burnout, and live your best life. Over 250,000 people have discovered their personal rest deficits using her free assessment at RestQuiz.com.  Share this with a friend for whom you would have to make her rest sacred and part of her daily habit.  Highlights Courage: It takes courage to understand where you are so that you can better understand the particular rest that you need and then to honor this place. You also get to see who is pouring into you or pulling from you Creativity: There is also a need for creative rest. This is the kind of rest we experience when we allow ourselves to appreciate beauty in whatever form. By the consumption of that beauty, it awakens that inspiration inside of you and it awakens your own creativity. Curiosity: Seek significant information. Be very specific in defining what's tired. Are you tired of dealing with other people? Are you tired of having to think? Are you tired of having to remember stuff? Or is your body achy?  Signs: What are the signs and symptoms of the kind of tired you are experiencing? If you can start narrowing down what the signs and symptoms of that are, you're going to be more likely to come up with a solution that's going to help that problem. Emotional rest: Very often we are masking our emotions or trying to keep them under tabs. We can just keep acting as if things don't affect us, and we're carrying a lot of emotional labor. Therefore, we have allow ourselves to be very real, open and authentic about what we are feeling. Honor: Just the ability to be authentic, and expressing those emotions begins that restful process. You can do it on a journal and honor where you're at. Acceptance: At the very core of rest is a restorative process. How do we make it better than where it's at? But there has to be that recognizing where you're at and evaluating your current state without any judgment. Burnout: The toxicity of that emotional labor will become so heavy that it starts feeling debilitating. Rest: The 7 types of rest include physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory, and creative.  Social rest: Social rest looks at our relationships. Are they pulling from us or are they pouring back into us? Take a look at the people in our lives that are actively pouring back into us that are life-giving. Make sure some of your relationships are pouring back into you. Physical rest: This involves dealing with the physical body such as passive things like sleeping and napping, as well as active physical rest like massage therapy, or using a foam roller or going for a leisure walk.  Spiritual rest: If you're a person of faith, that could be your relationship with God. If you don't have a faith based system, that could look like communities you're in. Mental rest: If you are struggling with clearing your mind, you could have a mental rest deficit. You need to learn how to focus again and clear that mental clutter. Sensory rest: Most of us have a lot of sensory input we're not even aware of (the lights, the sounds, the smells around the place that you work, and that you spend most of your day). You have to be aware of the sensory inputs in your environment as well as how you are responding to them if they're actually affecting your overall personality. Zoom fatigue: The number one rest deficit used to be mental rest. But during the pandemic, there was an increase in the number of virtual meetings. Every little screen has his own little visual input that you're analyzing, which you normally would not even think about. Stress: There's an extra stress that comes with Zoom meetings because you lose the power of presence and you lose the ability to evaluate that the way you normally would if you gave that same presentation in the room.  Evaluate: If you are feeling like some part of you is not at its optimal best, then you need to evaluate that and then to make some decisions on how to improve that. Sleep: There's a place when things like a prescription drug or a glass of wine are needed but you don't like them to become your normal. Sleep isn't the only type of rest. However, rest is often the pathway to good sleep.  Sleep cycle: There are multiple stages of sleep. Stage 1 is the non-REM sleep. The restorative aspect of sleep is Stage 3 where you're soundly asleep. Deep sleep: As long as your brain keeps rehashing the same thought, it will keep you from actually going into those deeper levels of sleep. Have some strategies in place for how you're going to help the brain release it including mindfulness and the brain dump. Stillness: It's when you allow yourself to honor rest. We put more value in the busy and in the doing and the movement. We have gotten to a place where we don't honor our need to just be still.

This is the episode that can change the quality of your life because this is for you if you are tired all the time.  We actually don't have a sophisticated language around our exhaustion. But this week's guest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, wrote the book, Sacred Rest, where she outlines the 7 different types of rest, which you will hear about today. This is a book about honoring rest in a society that values productivity as a way to express your worth.  We also go into why we experience Zoom fatigue which is one type of “tired” as well as why our brain doesn't always shut off when our heads are on our pillow and we're just thinking about that challenge or that tough conversation of the day. Then there is social rest. Interestingly, there are some people that pour into us, and then there are also some people that pull from us. Dr. Dalton-Smith also shares a quiz you can take to uncover what kind of rest you may need more of in your life. You will also hear about my 5 secrets to goal-achieving free workshop where you will have an opportunity to hear about the mindset and strategy I implement to achieve big goals that actually matter to my happiness, joy, and fulfillment.

Get ready to uncover the insights that have worked for me and that I have taught my clients.

You also get to see who is pouring into you or pulling from you Creativity: There is also a need for creative rest. This is the kind of rest we experience when we allow ourselves to appreciate beauty in whatever form. By the consumption of that beauty, it awakens that inspiration inside of you and it awakens your own creativity. Curiosity: Seek significant information. Be very specific in defining what's tired. Are you tired of dealing with other people? Are you tired of having to think? Are you tired of having to remember stuff? Or is your body achy?  Signs: What are the signs and symptoms of the kind of tired you are experiencing? If you can start narrowing down what the signs and symptoms of that are, you're going to be more likely to come up with a solution that's going to help that problem. Emotional rest: Very often we are masking our emotions or trying to keep them under tabs. We can just keep acting as if things don't affect us, and we're carrying a lot of emotional labor. Therefore, we have allow ourselves to be very real, open and authentic about what we are feeling. Honor: Just the ability to be authentic, and expressing those emotions begins that restful process. You can do it on a journal and honor where you're at. Acceptance: At the very core of rest is a restorative process. How do we make it better than where it's at? But there has to be that recognizing where you're at and evaluating your current state without any judgment. Burnout: The toxicity of that emotional labor will become so heavy that it starts feeling debilitating. Rest: The 7 types of rest include physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory, and creative.  Social rest: Social rest looks at our relationships. Are they pulling from us or are they pouring back into us? Take a look at the people in our lives that are actively pouring back into us that are life-giving. Make sure some of your relationships are pouring back into you. Physical rest: This involves dealing with the physical body such as passive things like sleeping and napping, as well as active physical rest like massage therapy, or using a foam roller or going for a leisure walk.  Spiritual rest: If you're a person of faith, that could be your relationship with God. If you don't have a faith based system, that could look like communities you're in. Mental rest: If you are struggling with clearing your mind, you could have a mental rest deficit. You need to learn how to focus again and clear that mental clutter. Sensory rest: Most of us have a lot of sensory input we're not even aware of (the lights, the sounds, the smells around the place that you work, and that you spend most of your day). You have to be aware of the sensory inputs in your environment as well as how you are responding to them if they're actually affecting your overall personality. Zoom fatigue: The number one rest deficit used to be mental rest. But during the pandemic, there was an increase in the number of virtual meetings. Every little screen has his own little visual input that you're analyzing, which you normally would not even think about. Stress: There's an extra stress that comes with Zoom meetings because you lose the power of presence and you lose the ability to evaluate that the way you normally would if you gave that same presentation in the room.  Evaluate: If you are feeling like some part of you is not at its optimal best, then you need to evaluate that and then to make some decisions on how to improve that. Sleep: There's a place when things like a prescription drug or a glass of wine are needed but you don't like them to become your normal. Sleep isn't the only type of rest. However, rest is often the pathway to good sleep.  Sleep cycle: There are multiple stages of sleep. Stage 1 is the non-REM sleep. The restorative aspect of sleep is Stage 3 where you're soundly asleep. Deep sleep: As long as your brain keeps rehashing the same thought, it will keep you from actually going into those deeper levels of sleep. Have some strategies in place for how you're going to help the brain release it including mindfulness and the brain dump. Stillness: It's when you allow yourself to honor rest. We put more value in the busy and in the doing and the movement. We have gotten to a place where we don't honor our need to just be still.

You are more likely to be happy if your friends are happy- and even if your friend’s friends are happy. This episode begins with a discussion on why that is and how social interactions affects you health and happiness. Source: Tom Rath author of Well Being (https://amzn.to/3xcMYUM)  Your body is very good at telling you when you’ve reached your limit. When you have exercised enough or worked enough or done anything that pushes you to the limit - your body tells you to stop. But have you really reached your limit? Could you do more? That’s what Alex Hutchinson looked into. Human endurance seems to be flexible. People break records all the time. So how does that happen? How do people achieve what was once thought to be impossible? And how can we use this knowledge in our own lives? Listen to this fascinating discussion with Alex who is a columnist for Outside magazine and author of the book Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance (https://amzn.to/3n9j7I7) What is rest? Most of us think that rest is what you get by sleeping or by NOT doing something. Rest turns out to be more complex than that and is misunderstood by many of us. Board-certified internal medicine physician Sandra Dalton-Smith says we all need different types of rest to restore different parts of us. Even if you get plenty of sleep, there are things that can mentally exhaust you or there are conversations with certain people that leave you drained. More sleep won’t help in those cases. You need a different kind of rest. In fact, Sandra has identified 7 kinds of necessary rest. Listen and you will look at the importance of rest very differently. Sandra is author of the book Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity (https://amzn.to/2RA9t5w). If you have allergies, spring can be a difficult time.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.
