Card Deck
The New York Times best-selling author of Take Time for Your Life and Life Makeovers brings you 52 practical ways to honor your self-care. Each inspirational card will challenge you to take a specific action to improve the quality of your life in some way. Whether you eliminate clutter, clarify your priorities, ask for help, dream big, or learn to be patient, you'll experience the power of using small changes to make a big difference in your life!
Each of these vibrant, glossy cards brings a specific aspect of self-care into
focus. For example, the PLAYFULNESS card shows a woman enrobed in purple with a
sleeping child in the center. The back of this card says "Play with a child.
Children are your greatest teachers."
When we're busy taking care of the bills and a household, one of the first
things that seems to get sacrificed is a sense of playfulness. When I look at
this card, I'm reminded that we all have an inner child within, and accessing a
sense wonderment, curiosity and lightheartedness is one way we can take care of
ourselves and neutralize stress.
On the card TIME, a cherubic girl in a lavish gold dress looks at us, while
gears, planets and stars swirl overhead. Beside her is a table bearing a
hourglass, which is surrounded by several clock faces. The back says "Schedule a
sacred date with yourself. You deserve time for your life."
Other self-care cards include SILENCE, RELAXATION, FAITH, RELEASE, CHOICE,
GUIDANCE and OPPORTUNITY. You can draw a card a day to center in on a specific
aspect of self-care, or even shuffle them and pick one when you'd like some
insight and guidance into your life. With breath-taking art by Jean-Paul Avisse,
Core Wolfe, and Shirley Ann--coupled with the wise words of life coach Cheryl
Richardson--Self Care Cards are a wonderful way to take the time to be
mindful of your own needs and wishes.
