You Owe It to Yourself
Nurturing comes naturally to most women -- as long as it's directed toward someone else. Taking care of yourself is more difficult. You don't have time. It feels self-indulgent. You're simply too tired. Here -- for women too busy to worry about their well-being -- are more than two hundred soothing recipes and inventive rituals for relaxation, practical self-care, and personal growth, including:
- Comfort rituals -- give yourself permission to stay under the covers
- A comfort journal -- how to get started
- Bathing pleasures
- Creative selfishness
- Herbal remedies
- Ways to beat the holiday blues
- How to create your own personal sanctuary
Organized by topic and cross-referenced throughout, this is a wonderfully comprehensive resource for refreshing and replenishing the self.
