While many turn to mindfulness and meditation, organizational change expert Marilyn Paul, Ph.D. offers a complementary solution that is as radical as it is ancient. Drawing on Sabbath history, contemporary research, and her own personal experience, Paul shows you how to design your weekly time off, carve out the time from your busy schedule, and most importantly, change your mindset so you can have the pleasure of regularly slowing down every week. From spending meaningful time in nature to creating a special, calming environment, Paul provides you with practical strategies for stepping off the treadmill whatever your religious beliefs. An Oasis in Time is a must-read for anyone looking to live a calmer, richer, more fulfilling life. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I prefer a more moderate approach, but there were many of her ideas that resonated with me. I took away a couple of tips I implemented immediately, and I've already seen a lovely change in the way I go about my days. I'm a proponent of daily oasis time - even if it's for 20 minutes - especially for mothers of young children, like myself, and other caregivers.
I was surprised to see how much of this whole oasis concept I already implement. I'm ruthless with my "me time", and I consider it a non-negotiable form of self-care. Since I was already onboard, I didn't need to be convinced of the immense benefit of taking time to relax, but I can see how other readers may require the multiple chapters Paul spends trying to get us to buy-in to the concept.
Overall, this was an easy read, with many practical ideas for implementing your own oasis time. ( )
