I’m always looking for new ideas for self-care. My favorite things to do are movement, especially dancing and spinning, and also daily meditation. I try to do it after my workout to seal my practice and also before bed to help my sleep.

This book has been invaluable for giving me other ideas. Self-care has a much wider scope than I realized. I love the small size of the book, which makes it portable, and I also think it would make a thoughtful gift!

I received a gifted copy.

Hasil belanja di BBW Bali minggu lalu. Aku suka, isinya mungkin hal-hal ideal yang perlu kita lakukan saat pagi memulai hari, saat bekerja, setelah kerja dan malam hari, tidak lupa juga bagian ketika dalam keadaan tertentu.

Sebagai pengingat bahwa kita harus merawat diri kita dengan baik. Mana udah hardcopy tambah ilustrasinya juga cakep.
