Mark It Up, Make It Yours

How to use Move, Rest, Recover

Move, Rest, Recover is out in the world (!) and you can now order your copy from your favourite bookseller or directly from me including free month of Balance Practice + art from the book.

So you it’s in your hands (thanks so much!), now how do you use it? I want to support you to make the most of this new tool for recovery — to empower you to truly make rest yours.

Your practice is ever so personal and practicality is crucial. If your practice doesn’t fit in your real life, it won’t work! That’s why practicality is the connective tissue of this workbook. That’s right, it’s a workbook — full of written and visual prompts and questions, with plenty of breathing space (literally and figuratively) for you to create your recovery practice. I invite you to make notes in the margins, underline notions that resonate, dogear favourite pages…

Please mark this book up and make it yours!

Step 1: Consider why you’re here. Flip to page 9 and note your intention. Why did you pick up this book? What do you hope to gain? If you’re not quite sure that’s okay! Simply acknowledging your need for rest is a powerful gesture in itself.

Onward: Reading this book is a rest practice in itself — treat all your time in these pages as recovery. Breathe deeply and relax as you go; sip and savour like your favourite tea or treat. Dip in and out as you feel inspired and as needed.

Check out this page from the book where I outline some possibilities…

When unsure/in doubt: Take a deep breath in… a slow breath out… Continue to deepen your breathing. Stay with your rest — with yourself — and trust that, with practice, the dots will connect and you will feel the difference.

I hope this book serves you well!
