Synopsis

Imagine how the world would be if we were less stressed, more fulfilled, and truly happy. If this feels like a faraway reality, it’s only because we’ve given our power away to stress. When we can truly hone the skills to manage stress, we will have the space, energy, and clarity to take back our power and our lives.

For most of us, stress is ruling our lives and stealing our joy. We are more exhausted, worn out, and dissatisfied than ever and are dying (literally and figuratively) for another way. Stress is reducing our immunity, our energy levels, and our ability to think clearly and make empowered decisions. 90% of doctor visits are due to stress and as a society, we are sicker than ever.

The good news is, it doesn’t have to stay this way. The solution to stress is self-care. Microsoft recently released a study in 2021 that proves small breaks can dramatically decrease stress levels and improve our ability to focus. Self-care doesn’t have to take a lot of time and it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. What it requires is your attention and the right tools.

The mission of this book is to teach simple stress management tools that will transform your life. As a society, we were never taught this important life skill at school, at home, or at work and this book is here to change that. Shifting your relationship to stress will allow you to lead forward with clarity and confidence. If we, as a collective, learned the skills to manage stress, we would be a more innovative, productive, and happier society.

In this book, you will learn a stress management technique to clear mental fog, breakthrough tension, and have greater focus, joy, and balance. This book will teach you, “how to self-care” in a way that nurtures your entire being: your mind, body, and spirit. It can be used as an informational guide as well as a step-by-step manual to create your own personalized self-care practice.

The author, Aditi, kickstarted her wellness journey after facing her own personal health challenges. At 20 years old, she experienced a half-paralyzed face due to stress and battled with years of depression, burnout, and dissatisfaction, while trying to keep up with the fast pace of hustle culture. She became a Certified Life & Health Coach to help herself and others. As a life coach and emotional wellness speaker, she equips working professionals with tools to reduce burnout and create the personal success and happiness they desire.

In her healing journey, Aditi released 60 pounds of emotional weight off her body, quit her corporate job to pursue entrepreneurship full time, and lived as a digital nomad for 3 years, road-tripping across the country.

Aditi is a certified Life Coach through The Life Coach School, a certified Health Coach through The Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and is currently pursuing Yoga Teacher Training with Blue Moon Yoga. She combines the knowledge of her versatile training and intuitive guidance with her own twist that is digestible and fun. She teaches emotional and cognitive tools to help professionals create greater mental and physical wellness. It is her personal mission to equip others with the wellness tools that were never taught in school. Aditi loves to travel, speak, and teach around the world at in-person and online events.
