1 The big sleep
‘Often we work in the evenings and sometimes it’s just not possible to unwind with yoga or meditation because we get home so late. It’s very hard to switch off, especially if you are managing a huge workload. We all know that it doesn’t stop when you get home – you have to cram in errands, put on a load of washing, or make lunch for the next day. On days like that, when you’re over-tired and everything is full-on, if you find yourself with just half an hour, make one decision – go to bed earlier. Use that time for sleeping, not doing. When you wake, better-rested, you can tackle the next day in the right frame of mind.’ Melissa
