"5 Resets to Combat Toxic Stress in the New Year"
Dr. Aditi Nerurkar's new book, "The 5 Resets," provides science-backed strategies to manage chronic stress and burnout, a growing issue exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The book outlines five key resets: identifying personal values, setting digital boundaries, utilizing the mind-body connection, taking breaks, and quieting negative self-talk, with an emphasis on small, achievable goals and gratitude journaling. Nerurkar advises adopting only two changes at a time, following the "Resilience Rule of Two," to work with the brain's response to change and increase the likelihood of forming lasting habits.
