Over the last year, many of us have been feeling overwhelmed and realise that we need to look after ourselves a little bit more. Self care sounds so easy, yet most of us don’t self care enough, often struggling to find the time or motivation. In Me Time, author Jessica Sanders gives an introduction to self care, sharing personal insights and inspiring quotes. This colourful illustrated book is so bright and cheerful that it lifted my mood straightaway. It’s an easy book to dip into when you’re feeling low, with simple ideas for ‘me time’. From small steps, such as meditation, drinking more water or even lighting a candle, to longer ones, such as reading a book (of course!), taking a break from technology or going on a half-day hike. So there’s something for everyone, to suit all budgets and how much time you have available. Self care isn’t just about looking after yourself physically and emotionally, but is also about caring for others. Tell someone how much you appreciate them. Find a local volunteering opportunity.
