We live in a world of more—work more, earn more, do more—when most of us actually need less. We intuitively know we need less stress, less anxiety, less burnout, but we don't always know how to make those tangible shifts in our lives. In Protect Your Energy, Zabie Yamasaki helps us connect to our bodies and our inner wisdom to make the powerful changes we need to reclaim control of the thousands of ways our energy is drained and depleted each day.

Protect Your Energy helps us compassionately learn to listen to the messages our bodies are sending us through our nervous system and to do less instead of more. With evidence-based practices drawn from Polyvagal Theory, as well as yogic philosophy and personal experience, Zabie shares practical wisdom to help us turn inward to effect small but vital changes that make living in our fast-paced culture more sustainable. It offers reflections to help us understand both where we are and where we want to go, and it's filled with restorative and accessible practices to help us understand our energy drains, set and hold supportive boundaries, unwind burnout, and much more.

As Zabie shares, "The truth is sometimes what our nervous systems need is less. You hold the wisdom, beauty, and power you need to find relief. And amid all of the noise, your connection to your body and nervous system is your most important teacher."
