Too often, we settle for the notion that self-care means giving ourselves treats and rewards for good behavior. But it's so much more than that. Welcome to the self-care revolution! A day of indulgence at a spa-or at home on the couch-might help us unwind and feel temporarily renewed, but is that all there is to self-care? With this follow-up to her groundbreaking first book, Tracey Cleantis changes the dialogue about taking care of ourselves and demonstrates why real self-care is more than just routine self-indulgence. Feelings of lasting satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy are all influenced by your self-care mind-set. An Invitation to Self-Care uncovers seven principles for care that are rooted in self-empowerment and self-knowledge. Through personal stories and observations, exercises and quizzes, and interviews with experts and everyday people, you are invited to consider self-care across your relationships, finances, spiritual and professional life-and more. Tracey's approach to care helps us realize that by accepting who we are, what we need, and how those needs evolve over time, we create space for self-care's transformational magic in our lives. This book is an invitation to explore how an authentic self-care practice is the secret to the life you've always wanted.
