About this listen
Everything you need to know about self-care: what it is, why it's important and why it's such a struggle and how to integrate it into day-to-day life.
There's a damaging misconception in society that putting ourselves first is an act of selfishness. But self-care is not just a millennial buzzword. Without the restorative power of self-care, how will we ever escape the vicious circle where we're sick and fed up of feeling sick and fed up? Self-care is a tool, accessible to us all, which helps us to take responsibility for our own happiness - our physical, emotional, psychological and social needs.
Jayne Hardy, founder and CEO of The Blurt Foundation, argues that it is the best preventative measure available to us to combat overwhelmedness, stress and ill health in our hectic, modern world. The Self-Care Project is for those who have been feeling off-kilter for a while but have not been able to put the finger on the 'why'. It is a no-nonsense, practical journey to help you do just that. It'll walk you through the case for self-care (why it's so darn important) and why it isn't selfish at all, help you explore what self-care means for you and what your obstacles might be and provide advice on how to chisel out daily space for self-care in a practical, achievable and realistic way.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

This is a book which I will re read to recap on when needed.
I found the narrator spoke so fast. When your head is feeling like scrambled eggs, it’s easier to absorb information if it’s said at a slower speed. Listened to someone who is speed reading I find difficult.
I really hope this amazing lady writes more regarding this subject, as I love her down to earth nature, and her amazing approach regarding self care.
The best self care book I’ve listened to

While this book has some great tips, and certainly not a waste of time, I think that a lot of the advice was basic, and was geared towards someone with a different personality or lifestyle to me. Firstly the author announces that she has a very introverted personality--I'm quite the opposite, and have always been quite sociable. Secondly, she's a mother and talks a lot about having to put others before her needs--I'm an independent student in my mid-twenties living in another country to my family and so-far haven't really had much responsibility with having to put others' needs before mine regularly. Thirdly, she says she hasn't been that pushed with career ambition--I've always been very driven with ambition and creativity, and it was this that pushed me over the edge where I was expecting too much and to get it right on the first go. Although her advice on how to make self-care a habit is useful, it was maybe a bit too generalised for me, and nothing that they don't already teach you in most counselling/CBT.
Definitely a nice book for some but not everyone

I enjoyed the book and it made sense, but the biggest thing was helping me realise we all need to get our heads into a better place from time to time, and that's OK !!
Certainly worth a dabble :-)
