Abstract

★The latest book from the author of the bestselling "Habit Series," which has sold over 450,000 copies★Answering questions—just doing so will instantly lighten your mind and body★Just one a day is fine. No pen or decision required★Read → Answer → Move a little★Before you know it, your relationships, daily rhythms, and mind and body will be on track and will become surprisingly balanced★A completely new habit of "balancing" proposed by a leading expert in autonomic nervous system research.Every day is boring, you envy others, you can't get rid of fatigue... This is because you're stuck in places and relationships that "make you uncomfortable," and your autonomic nervous system is out of whack.■Are you focusing more on "others" than "yourself"?■What are three things that "fun" about today?■What "small goals" can you achieve right now?■Are you conscious of how you walk?■If now were a "crossroads in your life," what choice would you make?■What would you do if you put your anxieties into words?■Are you continuing to hold back in your current community?■Is there a "rhythm" in your life? ... By confronting these questions, you'll once again clearly see what's truly important to you, which you may have forgotten. You'll understand the causes of stress and illness, and your daily choices will change to be kinder to you. Of course, it's packed with practical know-how based on medical knowledge. It offers easy-to-understand explanations of highly reproducible lifestyle and behavioral habits, including diet, sleep, posture and walking, breathing, and how to deal with pressure. It's simple to use. Read it in order from the beginning, during your break at work, on your commute, or before bed. Simply open a page at random, answer the questions, and try a small step. Just by doing this, your mind and body will naturally become more in balance. It also makes a great gift for someone special.
