Nurture Your Nervous System, Cultivate Rest, and Honor Your Needs
We live in a world of more—work more, earn more, do more—when most of us actually need less. We intuitively know we need less stress, less anxiety, less burnout, but we don’t always know how to make those tangible shifts in our lives. In Protect Your Energy, Zabie Yamasaki helps us connect to our bodies and our inner wisdom to make the powerful changes we need to reclaim control of the thousands of ways our energy is drained and depleted each day.
Protect Your Energy helps us compassionately learn to listen to the messages our bodies are sending us through our nervous system and to do less instead of more. With evidence-based practices drawn from Polyvagal Theory, as well as yogic philosophy and personal experience, Zabie shares practical wisdom to help us turn inward to effect small but vital changes that make living in our fast-paced culture more sustainable. Protect Your Energy offers reflections to help us understand both where we are and where we want to go, and it’s filled with restorative and accessible practices to help us understand our energy drains, set and hold supportive boundaries, unwind burnout, and much more.
As Zabie shares, “The truth is sometimes what our nervous systems need is less. You hold the wisdom, beauty, and power you need to find relief. And amid all of the noise, your connection to your body and nervous system is your most important teacher.”
Make vital shifts in how you use your energy—and how you rest—by understanding your nervous system through gentle guidance and practices.
TIMELY TOPIC: Zabie says that this book is like The Body Keeps the Score meets Rest Is Resistance—it doesn’t just tell people that their issues live in their tissues or that they should rest—it teaches them how to understand the messages their body is telling them and how to access deeper levels of ease and healing through embodied practices drawing on Polyvagal Theory.
AUTHOR EXPERIENCE: Zabie Yamasaki is beloved for her work supporting people healing from trauma by working with their nervous systems—she has taught at numerous universities and organizations around the country and has received several awards in victims services and leadership.
PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS: The book includes a quiz to help readers assess self-care in different areas of life, exercises to help readers understand their unique nervous system, reflections to help readers identify their unmet needs, tools and worksheets to help readers track and protect their energy, micro self-care practices that can be done any time, and much more.
