Book Description

Jan 20 2005
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.

Product Description

From Amazon

If the pace of your life or depths of your depression leave you lacking in body and soul, this book can help you feel whole again. Jennifer Louden encourages you to assemble and draw on personal rituals, journals and sanctuaries that can add comfort and breathing space to your life. Some are obvious (herbal baths, flowers) or seem too silly, New Age, or time-consuming to tickle every fancy (blow bubbles in traffic jams, chant affirmations). Many more seem sublime and creative. But that's her point: pick and choose what works best for you, but do take some actions to make your life happier. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

“[O]ne of the great self-help classics of our times.” (--Suzanne Falter-Barns, author of Living Your Joy and How Much Joy Can You Stand? )

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat! May 19 2003
Format:Paperback
I must have given this book half a dozen times as a gift to friends or family members who were in need of a little nurturing, or who needed an excuse to spend a little more time on themselves. This book has dozens of ideas for activities to help you through a day, and even a little categorized index to look for a project based on how you're feeling at the moment.
A real treasure! Give it to a loved one by itself, or in combination with a nice journal or blank book and a couple of fun pens (I recommend purple), and she will know you care about her. Better yet, buy one for yourself.
