Description
The Self-Care Year reveals how to reconnect with your body and mind and engage with your surroundings, how to slow down, live in tune with the seasons, and pay attention to the present moment.
Each season is different and special, bountiful and beautiful in its own unique way. The book is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, and covers how you can harness the changing seasons and take inspiration from the natural world, with bite-sized self-care practices, projects and mind and body exercises for each chapter.
Offering tips and rituals for better sleep, yoga positions, breathing and meditation exercises, as well as simple craft projects and seasonal affirmations, this book is for those who are seeking a slower pace and want to carve out quiet, mindful moments in their lives. Whether you're a lover of the first buds of spring, a summer sun worshipper, a fan of the autumn leaves as the year turns, or a winter wonderland devotee, there is something for everyone.
