Take your self-care and healing to the next level by redefining rest
with these accessible and practical approaches to looking beyond sleep
and focusing on other physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional parts
of the self.
Do you wake up in the morning and still feel tired? Do your supposedly
relaxing activities actually just feel like another thing to check off
that to-do-list? Do you feel like you never really have time to
recharge? It's time to rethink rest!
Rest is no longer about just getting a good night's sleep or taking an
evening to relax on the couch and watch TV. It's a radical act of
self-care that asks you to take into account all the different aspects
of yourself that need to rest and take a break. And The Little Book of
Rest has everything you need to get started. In this book, you'll find
restful solutions that will impact each of every part of yourself,
including:
-Your body: Yes, sleep is important. But did you know that taking a
bubble bath to relax your muscles or practicing foam rolling can also
help your body chill out?
-Your mind: Try some activities to help give your mind a break on those
days when you're distracted and unfocused like doing a ten-minute
meditation or taking a thirty-minute break from your phone.
-Your emotions: After a stressful, difficult situation, your emotions
need some cool down time too! Try cuddling with your pet or even
spending ten minutes daydreaming about something pleasant.
-Your spirit: Even something as simple as lying on a beach or sitting
outdoors and listening to nature sounds can be enough to give your soul
the rest it needs.
With insight into why resting--really resting--can benefit you and your
community as a whole, this book is your guide to slowing down, letting
go, and finding peace and healing within yourself.
