Your Mental Health Workout: A 5 Week Programme to a Healthier, Happier Mind

*The ideal gift to yourself in the middle of winter* Stylist's Christmas gift books round up 2021 In just 5 weeks, you will come out of Your Mental Health Workout with a sharper mind, clearer-decision making skills and greater resilience. Your Mental Health Workout (TM) provides you with exercises, tools, affirmations and expert guidance so you can start looking after your mental health for the long term. Zoe Aston, psychotherapist, the UK mental health expert at Headspace and mental health consultant to many high-profile individuals, has devised a ground-breaking 5-week schedule to help you build mental muscle; she incorporates 2 to 3 years of one-to-one therapy in one book. Our mental health is just like our physical health; we all have psychological weak spots or injuries and, just like physical injury, when they get used they may feel tender or uncomfortable. They need to be cared for in the right way so they can heal. Zoe's tried-and-tested workout plan, which helps to normalise the conversation around mental health, is split into weekly and daily sets. The weekly workouts help develop accountability, commitment to yourself and others and encourage physical exercise as a form of mood management. While your daily workouts move your focus inwards, providing space and time for you to look after the integrity of your mind through development of healthy self-talk. At the end of the book, there is a handy planner so you can easily track your progress. By following Zoe's plan you will become stronger, happier and can create the internal emotional landscape you want to live in. 'I worked with Zoe for 6 months, prior to which I had always been quite sceptical about whether I would benefit from therapy. During that time she helped me to get to know myself, understand myself, and be kinder to myself.' - Dr Zoe Williams 'Zoe's techniques are easy and give great results. Her work has given me wonderful insight into how I can look after my mind and makes mental wellness feel accessible to everyone. I highly recommend Your Mental Health Workout (TM) to anyone who has the desire to improve their emotional health.' - Pixie Lott
