Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Read In The Tub Day:
If you have trouble slowing down to relax, ask yourself why. Are you too caught up in what needs to be done next’ Keep the superhuman syndrome in check – we need to take time to take care of ourselves.
If the bathtub or a good book doesn't do it for you, find something else that does. Find something that changes the speed, changes your focus and helps to renew your energy.
If you are still willing to try the book and bathtub combo to relax, start with a magazine or book that doesn’t matter if it gets wet.
