Your Practical Guide to Balancing Mind and Body

About The Book

Balance your mind, body, and nervous system with this practical workbook focused on helping everyone—from athletes, to regular gym goers, to those who fit in a pilates class here and there—build a recovery program that works for them.

Recovery is the most readily available yet underutilized tool for well-being, the counterbalance to your active lifestyle that allows you to rise to the ever-increasing demands and pace of work, training, and life.

Without effective recovery, there is considerable strain on your mind, body, and nervous system. This stress and tension continues to accumulate long after your effort and output is done, making you vulnerable to illness, injury, and burnout. Discover how to fit rest and recovery into your everyday life using reflection, writing prompts, and accessible mental and physical recovery tools to activate and strengthen your own restorative practice. Move, Rest, Recover: A Workbook will teach you how to use recovery to your full advantage by:
  • Increasing your attentional capacity
  • Managing and solving physical pain
  • Promoting mental stability
  • Boosting your immune system
  • Improving the quality of your sleep
  • And so much more!

Whether you’re putting in long hours at the office, training for a marathon, or managing the schedule and demands of your household, you’ll understand how to clear lingering mental and physical stress and tension throughout your day, every day, in ways that work for you.

You can do everything right—curate the best schedule, follow the perfect training plan, and eat all the right foods—but without fully embracing your mind and body’s innate need for rest, and dedicating ample attention to it, you will miss out. Use this book to rest and recover now, right where you are.
