Book Description:
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. --
In this book the author delivers a host of creative and comforting programmes like the self-care schedule, creative selfishness, creating a comfort network, body delights, a personal sanctuary, the comfort journal, bathing pleasures and comfort rituals. Organised by topic and cross-referenced throughout, this guidebook is designed to appeal to women of all ages.

I have 2 copies of this, as I wouldn't be parting with it otherwise. I love this book. Its a great way to get ideas of how to nurture yourself. I learned so many techniques on "how to be gentle with myself."

I've owned this book a long time and I really love it. It's a great guide to pick up on those days when you feel something unspecified and want to do something to help you feel better. This is a book for you when you don't know what you need, but know something is not right and you can't put your finger on it. It helps you move from a vague sense of powerlessness, frustration and annoyance to a feeling of mastery - that you're doing something to take control of your life and how you approach it.
I'm ordering a second copy of Jennifer Louden's great book so I can give it to a friend. I can also highly recommend her Couples version of the book for those times in your relationship where you need something and can't figure out what would help.
These books help a lot!
