Everyday Self-Care: The little book that helps you take care of YOU.

by Dawn Bates (Compiler)

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.

OK but nothing groundbreaking, having read a more detailed book on a similar topic I found this a bit contrite.
Given two stars as it does mention some breathing techniques which vary a little from others I’ve learned so will give them a go.
On the whole it’s not a book I would necessarily recommend, but if you stumble across it, it can’t hurt to give it a read!

This was a lovely little read to encourage caring for myself. It’s got enthusiastic quotes, guides activities as well as tips and tricks to help you take care of yourself. It’s a nice, quick, enjoyable read that you can constantly refer back to for guidance.

Self-care doesn’t need a rating.

I quite enjoyed the small but varied tidbits of ideas and techniques, however I felt it was too focused on eating "healthy" and "avoiding bloating" i.e. how to be skinny. A body positive mindset would be far more helpful.

On my quest to be a better version of myself in 2024, I’m going to read more non-fiction and self-care/home improvement books. Found this at my local library and while I wouldn’t buy it to have at home, I did note down a few tidbits to reference later.

Super cute. I loved taking my time reading a couple pages a day and felt warm fuzzies from it. Will definitely keep it in my night stand for when I need a pick me up at the end of a hard day. ♥️

Very generic advice but presented nicely
