Do you leave your workplace, endure the evening commute, putter around the house, race through dinner, and collapse into bed - only to discover that it's time to go to work again? That's no way to live! After working hard all day, you need to relax and enjoy a pleasurable and restorative evening. And now this little book can show you how to do it in just five minutes a day. These mindfulness exercises, positive visualisations and affirmations can turn five minutes each evening into a powerful force for change in every reader's life.
