New York Times bestseller talks about the importance of rest_______

In order to be more productive we need to sleep more, take more vacations, stop checking emails and start daydreaming– especially in the work place! So says The New York Time’s bestseller book “The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working.” Clearly we are in an energy crisis but this one is personal. We feel that we can work the same way as a computer, working continuously at high speeds and running multiple tasks at the same time. In fact studies have proven that we are physiologically meant to pulse. That means we are more productive and creative when we fluctuate between periods of rest and periods of focused work. We need to value both equally, even if that means turning off cell phones and emails for a period of time during the day. We at body blitz know the importance of rest and renewal and of course daydreaming. That’s how body blitz began.

Body blitz is honored to be part of a list of dynamic female entrepreneurs featured in CRAVE: The Urban Girls Manifesto. These lifestyle books are devoted entirely to the best local businesses owned by women and have just published their first Toronto edition. The idea for CRAVE started in 2001 in Seattle when one busy woman running her own business realized she rarely had time to see her other busy girlfriends who were also running their own businesses. So she put them all together in one book and CRAVE was born. These guides clue you into the hottest insider shops in the city including great little boutiques and services usually known only to locals, showcasing some of the most creative, interesting and gutsy female proprietors in the city. We were thrilled to learn that when several of the proprietors were asked where they go to relax, they said “body blitz!” Next time you are at the spa, ask to have a look. We have a limited number for sale for $20.00.
