In today’s podcast we discuss how taking a ‘PAUSE’ or five minutes to rest every day can have positive benefits for your mental well being. We talk about how at times we all subscribe to being busy and how in today’s culture many even aspire to it and think of it as a badge of honour. However research shows that taking a rest or a pause in our 24/7 lives has huge benefits. We also talk about the brain’s default mode network, the benefits of mind meandering or day dreaming, the difference between resting and meditation and how rest can be a bridge to a meditation practice, especially if you find it challenging to meditate.
The book we talk about in the podcast is "The Art of Rest: How to find respite in the modern world" by Claudia Hammond.
