Buy yourself a copy because rest fuels your whole life. Give yourself the chance to stay resilient (and calm!) in the face of stress with my new book, Sleep Rituals: 100 Practices for a Deep and Peaceful Sleep. Healing is an evolving process of figuring out what works to hold you together - all the pieces of you and your life.

Taking care of yourself is one of the best ways to take care of others. Plus, if you keep giving away pieces of yourself until you feel like an empty shell, consider that people don't want you half alive. If you’re not resting, you’re not healing. And it’s nearly impossible to be well - mentally, emotionally, physically - if you aren’t sleeping well. It's how your systems can repair and rebuild themselves. You need to sleep to regenerate everything your body breaks down during the day. Like I write in my newest book, Sleep Rituals, “the quality of your life depends on making sleep a priority.” It probably means being nicer to yourself. Rest for you could look like moving slower as you clean the house or being mindful while you make a meal. Have permission to rest - as long as you’re the one who gives yourself permission.

Don’t have to have everything figured out.

Aren't responsible for fixing everything that’s broken.
