From Harvard stress expert, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, comes a reimagined approach to overcoming your stress and burnout using five small but mighty mindset shifts.
Stress has a bad reputation but is actually a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us tackle life’s many demands. It simply becomes problematic when it’s out of tune with the frequency of our lives, resulting in burnout, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other physical symptoms. To bring stress back to healthy levels, Dr. Nerurkar offers her five science-backed mindset shifts for when life gets hard:
Dr. Nerurkar illuminates why our everyday attempts at being ‘resilient’ – like multitasking, sleeping less, and undergoing huge lifestyle overhauls – aren’t beneficial to our stressed brains. Instead, she prescribes practical, real-world solutions for our modern-day perils that are time efficient, cost-free, and can be applied to anyone’s life, including following the Resilience Rule of 2 (making no more than two changes at a time because doing more is unsustainable), accepting that multitasking is a myth (our brains are wired to do one thing at a time!), and adopting her Bookend Method (creating boundaries).
The five mindset shifts, along with fifteen proven techniques, offer you a road map to change your relationship with stress, bring your biology back into balance, and feel calmer right now.
When you're a kid, the best compliment a teacher can give you is being called smart. When you were called "smart as a whip," "bright as a button," or simply "a smart cookie," it made your year. However, in a world of smartphones, smartwatches, smart TVs, and even flippin' smart light bulbs, the meaning of smart has changed..
Remember the good old days when being smart meant you knew all the world capitals, could recall every World Cup Springbok and where they were from, or could recite the periodic table elements like they were the lyrics to your favourite song?.
But you have to admit, smart technology is kind of cool. Or in the case of today's deal on a smart heater, it's kind of hot. With the AENO Premium Eco Smart Heater, keeping toasty is just a tap away.
