Too often, we settle for the notion that self-care means giving
ourselves treats and rewards for good behavior. But it's so much more
than that. Welcome to the self-care revolution!
"This is a magnificent book. When I first brought self-care into the
mainstream back in 1992, I encountered comments like 'Well, I do my
nails!' or 'I work out.' The idea that self-care is how you want to
approach your whole life was hard for some to grasp-and that often
included me. . . . Tracey's book will help! She's done a fantastic job
pointing the way. Buy this book!" --Jennifer Louden, bestselling author
of The Woman's Comfort Book
A day of indulgence at a spa--or at home on the couch--might help us
unwind and feel temporarily renewed, but is that all there is to
self-care? In this book Tracey Cleantis changes the dialogue and shows
why real self-care is more than just routine self-indulgence--it's a
lifelong practice that's essential to finding fulfillment and joy.
An Invitation to Self-Care uncovers seven principles for care that are
rooted in self-empowerment and self-knowledge. Through personal stories
and observations, exercises and quizzes, and interviews with experts and
everyday people, Tracey invites you to consider self-care across your
relationships, finances, spiritual and professional life--and more. By
accepting who we are, what we need, and how those needs evolve over
time, we create space for self-care's transformational magic in our
lives. In fact, an authentic self-care practice is the secret to the
life you've always wanted.
