The 5 Resets – Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience
Using five simple yet powerful thinking changes, Harvard stress specialist Dr. Aditi Nerurkar offers a reinvented strategy for conquering stress and burnout.
Despite its negative connotations, stress is a normal physiologic phenomenon that aids in coping with the pressures of daily living. When it’s out of sync with our lives, it just becomes problematic, leading to burnout, exhaustion, sleep difficulties, and a host of other physical ailments. When life gets tough, Dr. Nerurkar suggests these five scientifically supported mental adjustments to help reduce stress and return it to a healthy level:
The First Reset: Identify the Most Important Things
The Second Reset: Discover Peace in a Noisy EnvironmentThe Third Reset: Align Your Body and Brain
Come Up for Air: The Fourth Reset
The Fifth Reset: Show Off Your Best Self
Dr. Nerurkar explains why our daily efforts to be “resilient,” such as multitasking, cutting back on sleep, and drastically altering our lifestyles, don’t help our stressed brains.
Instead, she suggests time-efficient, cost-free, and applicable real-world solutions to our contemporary dangers. These include adopting her Bookend Method (establishing boundaries), acknowledging that multitasking is a myth (our brains are wired to do one thing at a time!), and adhering to the Resilience Rule of 2 (making no more than two changes at a time because doing more is unsustainable).
Together with fifteen tried-and-true methods, the five attitude shifts provide you with a roadmap to improve your relationship with stress, rebalance your biology, and feel more at ease right now.
