Smart Self-Care for Busy Women

20 Lessons to Help You Create the “Me Time” You Keep Putting Off
 by Elizabeth Barbour

Self-care, when practiced by people who value it, is about less, enough and balance.

Self-care is about taking precious care of your sweet self to be and to breathe, finding space and time each day to connect to your true essence, re-center yourself and claim your wholeness.

Self-care is about exercising your voice, connecting with your power and making choices in alignment with who you really are and how you want to live your life with intention.

“This book came to me at the most perfect time ever: the height of Covid 19. With so much stress and change all around me, I forgot that carving out time for self-care needed to adjust to a global pandemic. When I opened the book up, the first chapter that jumped out at me was Chapter 4, Finding Your Self Care Sage. That intrigued me, mostly because I had been on self-isolation for 2 weeks already and loved the idea of welcoming in someone new. Following the guidance in that chapter, my Self-Care Sage revealed itself to me and has been a touchpoint of comfort and sanity. I love the timing of this book and know it won’t be a guide for just a moment in world history, but something I can use again and again for years to come.”
