Life in the 21st century is hectic and stressful which is why taking care of yourself is more important than ever. You cant care for others if you dont take care of yourself! Self-Care All-in-One For Dummies is here to help you build and consistently use healthy, uplifting, and fulfilling habits.

Self-Care All-in-One For Dummies provides guidance, tools, and resources for incorporating self-care practices into your busy everyday life. Here, you get tips on practicing mindfulness, building self-compassion and resilience, starting a fitness routine, eating clean, managing stress, and living a lower-tech life.

A quick note: Sidebars (shaded boxes of text) dig into the details of a given self-care technique or topic, but they arent crucial to understanding it. Feel free to read them or skip them. You can pass over the text accompanied by the Technical Stuff icon, too. The text marked with this icon gives some interesting but nonessential information about a particular self-care method.

One last thing: Within this book, you may note that some web addresses break across two lines of text. If youre reading this book in print and want to visit one of these web pages, simply key in the web address exactly as its noted in the text, pretending as though the line break doesnt exist. If youre reading this as an e-book, youve got it easy just click the web address to be taken directly to the web page.

Here are some assumptions about why youre picking up this book:

• Youre looking for small yet meaningful steps to improve your overall wellbeing.
• You want to manage stress and remain resilient in the face of daily challenges.
• You want to develop the ability to quiet your inner critic and give yourself compassion.
• Youre interested in starting (or restarting) a fitness routine and clean eating habits.
