Practices for Deep Rest
In this episode of Practices for Deep Rest, Bridget recaps an insightful talk by Emily Pickett, an Ayurvedic Health Counselor with extensive experience in yoga and embodied well-being. Emily's approach to sleep highlights not only its importance for immune support, muscle repair, and mood regulation but also how to build a sustainable routine to enhance sleep quality.
The episode kicks off with a moment of self-reflection, encouraging listeners to consider how they want to feel daily. Emily’s three-part evening routine includes avoiding late-night eating, disconnecting from screens, and engaging in calming activities like gratitude journaling and relaxation. She emphasizes the benefits of getting to bed by 10 PM for optimal rest.
To make these habits stick, Emily suggests starting with small, manageable actions, using behavior design principles from BJ Fogg, and incorporating visual cues to reinforce new routines. Bridget also shares Emily’s five-step plan to help integrate these practices into everyday life. Tune in for this 15-minute episode and learn how to transform your sleep and overall well-being.
