Learning Recovery
Give your brain a break
“The Way of the Brain” is an email newsletter exploring how we can use the brain’s dance as a Rosetta Stone for life (If you're looking for brain anatomy and chemistry, this isn't the place). Installments are free and you can subscribe for more Brain here:
I just wanted to share a guest post I wrote for Helena Bianchi, of the Health Minis substack. Helena and I seem to have so much in common about how we view the brain~body (or body~brain, doesn’t matter who gets top billing) that it just made sense to bring together our perspectives on the importance of recovery after exertion.
Please feel free to like, comment, or share from either place. And if you’d like more content that brings together brains and bodies, just let us know!
All feedback and conversation is appreciated 🙏🏻
Your post is a crucial milestone for healthspan and longevity because it goes to the heart of what it means to achieve effective and sustainable health in a way that still allows a person to have a fulfilling life. This paragraph says so much and I will probably write a post just on the golden nuggets present within it: "But as we practice listening for the "whispers" and noticing the feedback about what happened when we did, our brain~body learns the cues, builds more capacity for communicating with whispering, and it can become part of our everyday habits". like the body-brain integrating ------> RHYTHM - finding its right rhythm!
