I love the colour of the book it’s a lovely vibrant blue all through the book which is quite relaxing to the eyes.
I like how there are different things to write down in the journal and there a few pages to write down for different days. I will definitely have a go at these tasks and I like how the book explains each task and gives you example to get you started. I find it easy to read and easy to follow.
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

At first, I would like to thank Netgalley and Chartwell Books for allowing me to review this book. Keep in mind that my review, however, is my true opinion on this book.

“Self Care - A Journal to Reclaim Your Time to Rest and Rejuvenate”. The title says itself. It is a lovely book about time management, self love and self care.

In the book, there are some different exercises, in which you can learn to love yourself more. There are spaces in the book, where you can write your answers to the asked questions. You are also given examples to help you begin your journey to a more loving self.

You are also given tips on how to manage your time and a template, where you can write your own plan for the day or week. It is simple, but it works pretty well.

You are taught how to replace your negative thoughts with positive thoughts and you are furthermore given an easy way and help to do that.

The design of the book is very cute! The same goes for the templates, which are minimalistic, simple and absolutely gorgeous.

If you are ready to do self care, this is your best guide to do so!

This wasn’t what I was expecting it to be if I’m honest, I was expecting more of a non fiction self help book. This was a surprise but it was quite nice. It has various prompts for you to be able to journal your thoughts, dreams, past trauma etc. The prompts are useful if you are new to self help or just need some help getting started. It’s all set out very well and is easy to follow.

A very much needed self-care journal specially for working moms and the caretakers everywhere!

It's time to realise how much we neglect ourselves in the process of taking care of others. We need to take care of ourselves too. More often we tend to forget this.

And what's better than a self-care journal like this which wouldn't require much effort to work with but which will make us reflect and actually make us work towards a better relaxing lives for ourselves.

The theme of this journal is based on our basic senses (sight, sound, smell, touch and taste) and be more mindful towards them; identify our boundaries (safe and unsafe), define our personal goals, time management, creating a vision for ourselves and celebrate our efforts and successes in the process.

The pages are spacious yet organised with subtle art and writing spaces which look pretty simple and convenient to fill up easily. I really appreciate the details.

Go for this without thinking twice.

Thank you publisher for the advance reading copy.

Just a lovely journal for self care. It’s wonderful for anyone that wants to really take care of themselves and not just in a physical way. This will give you a chance at examine your true thoughts.

I want to start by saying I am not really big into self help books. But the fact that this was a journal caught my attention. I like that not only is there space to write directly into the book there are multiple copies of pages so you can do the exercises more than once. Most of the exercises are ones that I would use, which is saying a lot because I tend to think journaling exercises are cheesy.

Would highly recommend this self care journal for people who are either going to therapy or went through a sort of therapeutic process already. As a psychologist I can see that most pages and journal entries are based on well known scientifically proven methods for people who are going through something. The reason I wouldn't recommend this journal for people who are just looking for a fun journal is because this specific journal is, in my opinion, not meant for that target audience. To further explain this I will give an example; it contains pages specifically for journal therapy (before, triggers and things you are working on and after therapy). Because of these pages I feel like people who are going to therapy or went already will benefit the most from this journal. It's a great way to reflect on therapy and contains several grounding and thinking exercises. I do, however, believe anyone can benefit from filling in some of these pages because they are for a wider range of people and a wider range of challenges people face during their lifetime. It goes into detail about setting boundaries and reaching your goals. The most remarkable section for me was the section about self-love and everything that comes with it.

The last thing I feel like is definitely worth mentioning is how beautiful and peaceful this journal is to look at. You can en will want to look at it all day long!
Thank you to NetGalley and Chartwell Books for this ARC which I read in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, this is just a wonderful book to have around to remind yourself how important it is to take time for yourself. I am so glad I got the opportunity to read it.

What a beautiful guided journal. It’s a nice way to take time for yourself and to focus on you and that is truly self care.
