In many ways rest feels like the most powerful act of rebellion we can participate in right now. In a world that wants to keep us busy and distracted, slowing down, being still and silent, and connecting deeply to ourselves and the world around us feels revolutionary.
In Why Prioritising Rest Will Change Your Life: Join the Rest Revolution! wellbeing practitioner Emma Longbottom will make you question and rethink what society has taught you about your relationship with rest.
Through this book, you will learn:
- The benefits of rest – physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.
- How Emma used rest to heal chronic pain, recurring illness, and constant stress.
- Practical tools and techniques that will help you take real rest.
- How you can fit rest into your busy life.
This book is your permission slip to live differently and make rest a priority, using it as the foundation to live a healthier, more fulfilled life.
