Description

As a society, we are more exhausted than ever before but despite hearing the call to relax, many of us find it hard to switch off. We see busyness as a badge of honour but, ask yourself, does this approach to life work for you? Self-care expert Suzy Reading is here to challenge everything you've ever been told or told yourself about rest. Rest is not only calming and restorative, but energising and fortifying, a way of preparing you for the days, weeks or months ahead. You can also reset in as little as one minute - when we're already struggling to find a work-life balance, many of us feel like we don't have time to rest. This book is here to take the pressure off. Rest need not be another thing to add to your heaving schedule, many practices take seconds and can be woven into everyday life in no extra time. Discover how to make your chores more rejuvenating and your bathroom break a ritual for rest! Rest to Reset is separated into two parts: Redefining Rest unpacks the true meaning of rest and introduces the eight pillars, which will help you identify the type of rest you need in any given moment. Creating Your Own Rest Prescription features 25 toolkits to help you bring your mind and body back to balance. It includes tips for when you're struggling with classic restful practices, like napping, meditation and breathwork; exercises to make existing daily activities more restful; and advice to improve your emotional wellbeing through rest, such as building confidence, dealing with grief or anger and learning the art of saying 'no'. This book will not only revolutionise your relationship with rest but ultimately your relationship with yourself.
