How to use the insights of neuroscience and the techniques of
mindfulness to get a good night's sleep. Everyone's familiar with
the consequences of lost sleep: you're groggy and irritable, your
focus is off, you don't perform at your best, and you're likely to
dump sugary foods and caffeine into your system for an energy
boost. But the effects of poor sleep go way beyond these concerns.
Indeed, they can be life-threatening. It's one thing to know the
problem, it's another to fix it. In this book, renowned
neuroscientist Dr Stan Rodski takes us through the fundamentals of
sleep - how sleep works, why we sleep and how much sleep we need -
but, most importantly, he gives us exercises to help overcome the
bane of insomnia. In any endeavour, the key to achievement is
proper preparation, and sleep is no different. Drawing on the
techniques of mindfulness, meditation and relaxation, and the
neuroscience that underpins them all, Dr Stan gives you the tools
to prepare yourself (and your children) for an excellent sleep -
and enjoy it!
Explore the benefits of a mindful approach to life Cutting-edge
studies in neuroscience have in recent years proved what many
doctors, therapists and other health professionals had long
suspected: simple, repetitive tasks, performed with focus and
attention - mindfulness, in other words - can not only quieten our
noisy thought processes and help us relax but also improve our
outlook on life and protect us against a range of life-threatening
illnesses. A cognitive neuroscientist and a leading authority on
mental performance, Stan Rodski sets out the science behind these
remarkable discoveries in simple terms, and explains how you in
turn can benefit from them. As well as examining the potentially
pivotal role of mindfulness in alleviating stress and managing
energy, Stan highlights the most effective mindfulness activities,
guides you through quick and easy exercises, and shows you how to
harness the power of mindfulness over the long term to forge mental
and physical resilience - and create a happier, healthier, more
compelling future.
Colourobics is the perfect mindfulness colouring book for kids,
with simple colouring exercises that can help relieve stress and
anxiety. Developed by psychologist and neuroscientist Dr Stan
Rodski, Colourobics is based on the idea that colour affects our
emotions and can be used to improve our wellbeing and mental
health. Through the mindfulness practice of colouring, this book
will help children connect with their feelings and moods. The
book's value extends beyond a child to their parents: as a
neuroscience and stress-management tool for children to achieve
calm, it is also a way for parents to help their children to
perform and achieve more at school and in their learning
development. When a page is fully coloured in, it can be taken out
of the book and used as a poster. Colourobics is perfect for
children aged between 7 and 14 years.
