Feel yourself struggling? Searching for a little moment of light?
This book meets you exactly where you are, with all your

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.
Nurture self-expression and discovery with this beautiful guided
journal, one day at a time. Journaling is one of the best self-care
practices - writing things down relieves stress, helps to process
emotions and express feelings, clears the mind and improves sleep.
We can also set our goals and ambitions in motion and check in with
our commitments such as nourishing ourselves through food and
movement. And Breathe is a journal for all of your wellbeing goals,
activities and reflections. Take a little time out of your day for
yourself to get to know your needs, dreams and desires. Eight
self-care themes are included for self-discovery. Prompts and
practices are included, along with ways to encourage free and
expansive self-expression and self-discovery. Sections include:
What is Self-care? Journaling for Self-care Movement &
Nutrition Values & Purpose Goal Setting Coping Skills for Tough
Times
Self-care is daily nourishment that gives us a fighting chance to

selfish and offers essential ways to stress-proof your body and
mind. In this beautiful little book, Suzy offers 30 self-care
practices for the reader to choose from depending on what they
need. Chapters include practices for: - Rest & relaxation -
Energy boosters - Mind management - Emotional first aid
We live increasingly sedentary lives and our lifestyle has
radically changed in terms of how we work and naturally move
throughout our day. While we all know about the benefits of
exercise for mental and physical health, what we're not so attuned
to are the damaging effects of just how we sit - at our desks,
scrolling on our phones, in the car or even on our bicycles. But it
doesn't have to be this way. By making small changes to our
everyday sitting behaviour, we can experience increased energy,
confidence, optimism and openness. Featuring a practical 28 day
plan to transform your relationship with sitting, how long you sit
at a time, how to add simple breath work and movement into your day
and restorative moves for the end of the day. Sit up, sit better
and reap the benefits.
'I hope this book can empower people with simple, potent ways to
feel better right now, to access calm and move through the waves of
all their emotions.' Self-care for Tough Times is a gentle yet
powerful toolkit to help during difficult times, such as the end of
a relationship, loss of a loved one, career change and times of
heightened emotions or anxiety. These are the times when self-care
is most important and yet often forgotten, but just a few small
moments can make a huge difference to how we feel, how we release
emotions rather than bottle them up and how we ride the ups and
downs. Practices include: Instant tension release exercises for the
hands, shoulders, neck and face Pre-bedtime rituals to help with
disturbed sleep Breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and
reduce anxiety Soothing scents Releasing stuck emotions Learning
how to relax and let go Keeping tech use healthy Questions to
reflect on Anxiety, fear, anger, uncertainty and grief are all
addressed, while Suzy also explores how stress and emotional trauma
are held in the body, and how these may be gently released through
touch, movement and breath. The practices included within are
designed to promote healing and hope, and many are quick and easy
for times when you feel exhausted or vulnerable so that you can
both cope in the moment during tough times, then recover and
restore after these difficult chapters of life. 'We will revive a
weary body. We will refresh a tired mind.'
