Hello and thank you for taking this beautiful step towards your self-care. I recommend printing the workbook if you can, and committing to a routine where you check in a do one page daily, at the same time of day... or if you're too busy for that, commit to doing a few pages every weekend! And please reach out if you need an accountability coach along the way.

This workbook is designed to help you improve your self-care by developing healthy habits and raising your self-awareness. After each set of questions I pose, you will find space where you can write down your thoughts. You can use the back of the page if you need more room and switch over to a journal for more extensive writing....

It's up to you how fast or slow you progress through the questions, but keep in mind that from page 22, we are switching into a reflective “hindsight” process, so it’s best to leave these pages for later, after you’ve made some progress with self-change.

While reflecting on and answering questions, consciously release any feelings of shame/guilt or anger at yourself by scanning for and letting go of muscle tension, calming your heart rate, and imagining you can release this tension/emotion on the exhalation by blowing out through your mouth, almost as though you are "blowing it away".

• The short, summed-up version of the intention setting and weekly follow-up

  process can be found on page 26.

• The last 3 to 4 pages can be photocopied and re-used weekly as you reflect on progress, celebrate, troubleshoot and re-set your intention.

You have my blessings on your journey!

Remember: the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
