For many of us, the only way we have known to operate is to work non stop until we reach the holiday.
But after years of doing that I think many of us are starting to realise that the excess work we have to do before we go, combined with the extra work we have to do when we return, make holidays a poor form of recovery.
There is another way that a lot of people are only just starting to discover. Micro forms of recovery are often simple, easy and can completely change our energy and kick burn out to the kerb.

- Why the old way of high performing and recovering on a holiday isn’t working anymore
- The restorative benefits of micro recovery
- The advantages of micro recovery strategies
- The ultradian rhythm and 90 minute work cycles
- The exhausting way many of us start our weeks
- 6 strategies that you can call on as micro forms of recovery
