If you’re like most peo­ple, chances are you’re feel­ing the dai­ly grind of go-go-go, do-do do. The good news is that you have an intrin­sic toolk­it you can apply to rest and reju­ve­nate all your key body sys­tems. It’s called the Down­state, and Dr. Sara Med­nick is here to tell you how to access it — and how it can tru­ly change your life. Dr. Med­nick intro­duces the ​“Down­state” — the key to rest and reju­ve­na­tion on a cel­lu­lar lev­el — and how we can all learn to max­i­mize it for ener­gy, bal­ance, and vital­i­ty. The Down­state is an inte­gral part of all the phys­i­o­log­i­cal, cog­ni­tive, and emo­tion­al process­es that allow us to stay as strong as pos­si­ble – yet it is open ignored by our stress­ful, non­stop lives. In her book, The Pow­er of the Down­state, Dr. Med­nick shares that we can han­dle any rea­son­able amount of stress, as long as we replen­ish our­selves on a dai­ly basis by engag­ing in activ­i­ties that make us feel rest­ed, full of ener­gy, and loved. That’s the Pow­er of the Down­state. And by work­ing your Down­state to its max­i­mum you can han­dle any­thing that comes your way.
