    How to Relax, Slow Down, Recharge Your Batteries and Reclaim Control over Your Life

    Today’s world is charging at a breakneck speed. People are working over twelve hours every single day, catching extra minutes of sleep in the metro, and completely giving up on the antiquated notion of time to spend with their own kids. There are people in their twenties neglecting every single aspect of their lives but their careers looking twice older than they should.

    And 1 person out of 4 dies from cardiovascular disease – caused mostly by unhealthy eating, a lack of physical activity, smoking, and consuming too much alcohol and worthless junk food that clogs their arteries.

    This book will teach you how to step away from noise, relax and recharge your batteries so you have enough left in you to control your life. Here are some of the things you'll learn:

    - why rituals create your life and how to develop a proper morning routine to ensure a calm mind.

    - 3 main stress management techniques for recharging you’re probably not aware of. They can make you well-rested or, if you disregard them, extremely exhausted.

    - how to get away from highly-stimulating surroundings to recharge in peace. If you live in a city, you MUST read this chapter.

    - how to let go of negative nagging thoughts you can’t get out of your head. You don’t have to carry them with you all the time.

    - 7 powerful habits to reduce stress. And no, I’m not talking about obvious advice. You’ll discover how to exactly reduce stress with lesser-known tips.

    This is your chance to find out what the hard science says about how to become more relaxed. You too can finally recharge your batteries and regain control over your life. Learn how.

      Simple book about the basics of time organisation, but no much information about relaxation per se. Some of the suggestions don't fit with a busy parent with a full time job. May be because the writer is not an employee.
    • 4/5
      Useful and practical. A little more meat and I would have given it five stars. There were some minor typos that distracted me, but all in all, this book is worth a read!

    Could You Help?

    About Martin Meadows

    Prologue

    Have you ever stopped in the middle of a busy street and looked at the crowd?

    Could you feel the stress and tension by just looking at these people?

    Don’t you find it terrifying how out of hand busyness has become in today’s world?

    There are people working over twelve hours every single day, falling asleep in the metro. There are overstressed parents who can’t afford to spend time with their own kids. There are people in their twenties neglecting every single aspect of their lives but their career.

    One person out of four dies from cardiovascular disease[i] caused mostly by unhealthy eating, a lack of physical activity, smoking and consuming too much alcohol, even though it’s preventable in 90% of the cases.

    What’s the most common escape route for busy, overworked people? They stuff themselves with worthless junk food that clogs their arteries. They drown their emotions in alcohol. They smoke a pack or two a day.

    I have never wanted to be a part of this crowd, hence I spent a lot of time researching and optimizing every aspect of my life to avoid the same fate. Philosophy of less is more guides my life, keeping me sane and healthy in the fast-moving world.

    In this book, you’ll learn why busyness is wrong and how to:

    - step away from noise and the neck-breaking speed of the world around you,

    - recharge your overstressed mind and body,

    - deal with nagging, negative emotions,

    - utilize some of the most effective stress-reducing habits,

    - and achieve a lot despite not being part of the overworked crowd.

    Please keep in mind I’m not a doctor. Although the advice presented in this book is based on scientific research and experts, it can’t replace professional medical care. If you suffer from any conditions that require professional care (hypertension, diabetes, etc.), do not follow my advice until your physician allows it.

    If you suffer from mental health disorders, this book won’t cure you. I wrote it for people who want to learn how to transition to a slower, healthier life, not as a guide for dealing with stress disorders. I’m by no means a psychologist – consider this book more as a piece of advice from a curious mind.

    Now that we got the disclaimers out of the way, let’s talk about the first step to regain control over your life. I believe it’s the key ingredient that has to be a part of your everyday life if you want to slow down.

    Chapter 1: Your Rituals Create Your Life

    There’s no need to tell you why stress (the negative kind) is bad. It’s well-documented how dangerous it is to your mental and physical health, and why it’s so important to avoid it.

    You’ve also read about healthy eating and regular exercise in numerous books and articles, haven’t you? I’m not here to tell you obvious things.

    What is frequently downplayed, though, is the importance of your rituals. By rituals, I don’t mean habits like exercising three times per week or flossing. I’m talking about
