The Complete Guide to Self Care features 100 accessible activities that help you reconnect with your body, mind, spirit, and surroundings, and leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the world again.

Caring for yourself is far from selfish and self-care is far from a new phenomenon, but it’s recently been in the popular vernacular. With screens, work emails on our phones, notifications, and poor boundaries between ourselves and the world around us, taking time and making space for ourselves has become more and more important. Therapy, caring for plants, making your favorite dish…these are all little ways to reclaim parts of yourself that you’ve lost track of in the daily hustle of life.

With encouraging reminders, inspiring thoughts, easy wins, and practical advice, The Complete Guide to Self Care helps you identify your needs so you can relax, refuel, and find calm in your hectic life. This book tells you why mindset is key, how to nourish instead of punish yourself, how to exercise and sleep, and why it is important to go slow sometimes. You live your whole life being you, so why not be your own best friend?

The Complete Guide to Self Care is a book for people who need to relax, chill out, or recenter. You’ll learn how to achieve this by:

Setting an effective and fruitful sleep schedule Creating exercise routines and not feeling bad about falling off the bike Saying no to things you don’t want to do (and things that maybe you do but don’t have space for) Reading, writing, art, music, and all forms of expression that water our soul Setting aside time that is only for you, no one else, no exceptions Watering yourself and giving yourself proper nutrients

In the tumults of our hectic world and your busy life, if you’re working toward being emotionally available and hungry for stability, a happier and healthier you is within your grasp.

Complete Guide to Self-Care

You were put on this earth to live a radically fulfilling, purpose-driven, joyful life. You are worthy of this kind of life.

You deserve to wake up each day with excitement coursing through your body and spirit in anticipation for what lies ahead.

Unfortunately, this kind of life is elusive for many. In our distracting, fast-paced, demanding world, it can become easy to put yourself last. You may find yourself putting your needs at the bottom of your ever-growing to-do list. Maybe you actively prioritize the needs of everyone else above your own. Perhaps you’re depleted at the end of the day, exhausted from trying to satisfy everyone else but yourself. Sound familiar?

The antidote is self-care. This book is full of thoughtful advice, accessible exercises, healing rituals, and time-tested solutions to help you achieve the kind of inner peace and sense of self that leads to a happy, balanced, and stable life. Use this book as a guide to help you identify and fulfill your needs to lead the kind of life you’ve always wanted.

THE BENEFITS OF YOGA

The benefits of yoga extend far beyond physical fitness. Incorporating a yoga practice into your selfcare routine also leads to clarity, focus, decreased stress and anxiety, increased sense of wellness, and both physical and emotional healing. Additionally, yoga provides the tangible benefits of better posture, balance, increased energy, more efficient digestion, and lubrication of your joints.

Benefits of Daily Movement

If you need motivation to get moving, as many people do, here are some of the incredible benefits that you can reap from just thirty minutes of movement a day:
Mood: The increase in endorphins and other moodboosting brain chemicals can help increase happiness, decrease anxiety, and battle depression. Energy: Movement increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients that get delivered throughout your body. Overall Health: An immediate benefit of exercise is that your immune system gets a boost. Weight Management: Daily movement can burn excess calories and keep your weight within a healthy range. Self-Confidence: Movement connects you to your body and helps improve your physical self-image. Better Sleep: As long as you don’t exercise at night (which can make sleeping more difficult), movement during the day can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Hydration

Your body is about 60 percent water, which means that over half of your composition is made up of water. Even more shocking is that your blood is 90 percent water.

Seeing as your body needs water to function at its highest level, staying hydrated is a basic form of self-care.

There are numerous benefits to drinking enough water every day. Here are a few key benefits:

Keeps mouth clean and prevents tooth decayAssists with hydration of your joints, which are 80 percent waterPrevents premature skin aging and can help skin look plump, dewy, and youthfulPromotes weight lossHelps your body get rid of waste Healing Water

Drinking water is the easiest way to stay hydrated. The best way to consume water is at room temperature so that your body doesn’t have to waste any energy heating it up.

If you’re drinking water as soon as you wake up, which is highly recommended since you can become dehydrated while you’re sleeping, try warm water with a squeeze of lemon and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

This is a very cleansing and alkalizing beverage that helps your body with digestion, boosts your metabolism, and cleanses the liver.

If you struggle to drink water because you find it boring (or don’t like the taste), try infusing your water with fruit and herbs. All you need is a water infuser, which is affordable and can be purchased online.
