Self-Care for Black Women - Paperback

by Helene Waigo (Author)

A CROWN OF BEAUTY

Start making life happen for you-instead of to you-by caring for someone you have neglected too long-yourself.

Do you feel like you are constantly going through the motions?

Black women can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually drained by having to fulfill so many conflicting demands.

It can seem like unless you are giving your absolute all to everyone else-your time, energy, and emotional support-then you are somehow incomplete.

Studies show that black women often feel like they have to live up to unreasonable standards as women, employees, caregivers, and family members. Having to work twice as hard to fight against racial bias, discrimination, and gender inequalities and countless micro-aggressions.

These unrealistic standards can make you feel irritable, anxious, exhausted, and emotionally drained- and worst of all, still live up to reach society's expectation of beauty and success. The act of self-care has now become crucial to surviving in the modern world today especially for black women

So, if a lack of self-care is causing life to seem more like something to survive rather than savor, then it's time to make that radical change.

This book is here to share the practical tips you need to overcome the struggles confidently and realistically. Within its pages, you will find:

• 7 core principles that black women can embrace to achieve better physical, mental, and spiritual health and well-being.
• How to exercise emotional self-care, set healthy boundaries, and harness the power of mindfulness and positivity.

Self-care is the current buzzword in the wellness sector, but when it comes to black women, it is sorely in neglect... and it has been so for many years.

Well, Self-Care for Black Women - A Crown of Beauty invites you to reconnect with your cultural roots, understand the obstacles black women face, and utilize powerful strategies that will empower you to reclaim your right to self-kindness, self-care, and self-love.
