You First: Practical Wisdom for Nurturing Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul

by Vicki L. Dobbs

You should know that you can be first and not be selfish, you can be first and not sacrifice anything or anybody in your life and you must know that putting yourself first gives you the space to be more loving, more productive and more compassionate in the world.

In shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person for assistance, the first thing they would ask you is when did you stop dancing, when did you stop singing, when did you stop finding the sweetness in silence and when did you stop telling your stories.

If you've gotten lost in a life of doing for everybody and everything else in your life except you, here are some short stories about one woman's journey with helpful hints and insights designed to show you simple ways to nurture yourself, intentionally caring for your body, mind, heart, and soul.

In You First, you will discover simple practices for taking care of you while you are taking care of all your responsibilities.
After reading this book, you will be empowered to put you first, inspired to take care of yourself, know that when life gets out of balance, you have practical, real life exercises you can use to bring you back to you. Learn how to nurture you intentionally. You have a right to be happy!

Nurturing Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul is like a warm conversation with a wise friend. From the very first pages, Vicki Dobbs reminds you that putting yourself first is not selfish, it is essential. Her gentle stories and practical insights show how caring for your own body, mind, heart, and soul helps you show up more fully for others. This book made me pause, breathe, and remember the importance of balance and self love. Truly empowering and deeply healing
