Our world is grappling with unprecedented challenges, as the collective well-being of its eight billion citizens is compromised by alarming rates of illness, mental health struggles, and unmet emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. Many individuals are overwhelmed, feeling stuck and unsure of how to address these pressing issues, leaving them searching for direction and guidance. This guidebook offers some hope and practical advice. What does it mean to live a happy and healthy life? To manage stress, prevent burnout, and achieve a higher level of self-awareness along the way? Dr. Cindi Saj and Christa Smith, co-authors, delve into the interconnected realms of body and mind, drawing upon scientific research and sharing their own personal experiences to guide readers on a transformative path of self-care. By embracing these practices, they aim to inspire a sense of peace and joy that will radiate outward, positively impacting the world around us. “Self-care is not selfish,” the authors maintain. Together, Dr. Saj and Smith have twenty years of experience in the counselling field and Finding Your Wellness: A Guidebook to Self-Care brings together an expansive range of tips, tricks, and tools for helping readers identify and attend to their own unique needs. This will involve exploring new strategies for better sleep, cultivating mindfulness, and enhancing financial insight, all through the lens of self-care practices that intersect and complement each other in unique yet powerful ways. The book is filled with actionable insights but is not prescriptive or restrictive in nature. Some ideas will resonate with the reader, and others may not. The concept of knowledge within this book is one of accessibility and generosity: "take what you need and share the rest". While it is not a comprehensive guide, it offers a wealth of valuable insights and practical strategies for incorporating self-care into every aspect of life. By reading this book, individuals will gain new perspectives and discover fresh approaches to nurturing their well-being.
