Everyday Self-Care


Book Description

Discover why time spent caring for yourself is always time well spent, and the countless ways you can improve your health, happiness, and wellbeing. When life is busy, it’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the to-do list and neglect your own needs. If this continues for a prolonged period of time, it will take its toll on your mental and physical health, which will ironically impact on those loved ones you’re trying to care for, or that job you’ve been so committed to. This little book of self-care isn’t about overnight transformation or a huge lifestyle makeover—it’s about implementing small changes that will gradually improve your physical and emotional wellbeing. Do you need to sleep better and eat healthier foods? Are you in need of an energy boost or perhaps you struggle to wind down and relax? Are you a worrier? Do you get caught in a negative spiral of thinking? Does the clutter in your home get you down? Are you overwhelmed with commitments and looking for more balance? Whatever you need to work on, you’ll find advice and inspiration inside this handy guide.
