“A comprehensive guide to all things self-care, from tips on how to clean out emotional clutter to techniques to get more restful sleep . . . gorgeous.” —PureWow Never has the idea of mindfully checking in with ourselves and creating “whole body” health—well-being that is more than simply the absence of illness—been so appealing. In this guide to self-care, wellness and beauty educator Mary Beth Janssen reveals how introspection, ritual, and love can help cure existential woes. She profiles a wide range of activities and exercises, including: Karma Cleanse: How to cultivate/give loving-kindness, compassion, and forgiveness in yourself, and then pay it forward. Intention, Meditation, and Breathwork Techniques: Exercises for calm and centered living. Emotional Housecleaning: How to deal with unprocessed emotions “stuck” within yourself. Setting Healthy Boundaries: Check-in exercises for relationships that will help you reevaluate and build your support network. Tips for nourishing yourself, deep sleep, and beauty rituals to celebrate your body. Real wellness isn’t just the absence of injury or illness: it’s a ”whole body” approach to health that anyone can add to their daily lives. Mary Beth Janssen, an experienced consultant on alternative medicine, shares a consciousness- and compassion-based system for navigating wholeness in mind, body, and soul. “Follow her step by step instructions for a number of contemplative practices and become exquisitely mindful in your day to day life—thus more apt to make the most life-affirming choices possible. She advocates that from this place, we experience more groundedness, balance and joy.” —Mother Earth Living

If you're alive, you experience stress. It's just part of being human. For early man, stress helped us flee danger like a marauding mammoth, a hungry sabre-toothed tiger or an invading tribe. It literally helped us fight or flight. In modern society a little stress is useful, it keeps us energised and motivated to get things done, it helps us to turn up and be on time. Yet too much stress is harmful, and stress is sadly, at an all-time high. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to avoid or substantially reduce stress in our lives. The things that make us stressed are the same things that always have: too much work, not enough time, financial woes, family needs, navigating difficult relationships - these familiar scenarios aren't likely to change. So if we can't change the things that cause us stress, we must change the way we interact with it. When we feel threatened or endangered in any way, our body and mind react accordingly. Unfortunately, these days our brain sees many 'threats', even if they're not actually a danger to us. This 'stress' is a major problem and is now considered to be a major precipitating factor in almost all major diseases. Yet if we're prepared to learn from it, stress can be a useful teacher. Coping with moderate amounts of stress builds a sense of mastery and it promotes resilience for life down the road. Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts. With that in mind; through this beautifully illustrated book from illustrator and speaker Matthew Johnstone and experienced clinician Michael Player, the hope is to turn one of the most unpleasant of human experiences into a sweet one.
