Neurowellness Rebrands Old Practices for Modern Mental Wellbeing

Neurowellness is a new name for taking care of your brain and feelings as well as your body.

Many of its activities, like yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation, have been around for a long time.

People are paying more attention to them because they feel stressed, tired, distracted, or unable to sleep well.

Experts say caring for the brain can include sleeping enough, moving your body, connecting with other people, and making time to rest.

Helping your nervous system recover from stress does not mean you must feel calm every moment.

Some hotels now offer longer wellness experiences instead of just one treatment.

But people do not need an expensive programme or a gadget to support their wellbeing.

Taking a quiet break from phones and other constant noise can also help.
