The Problem

Caring for everyone in our lives except for ourselves leaves us feeling chronically overwhelmed and exhausted and robs us of our health, inner peace and belief that our lives can be different.

The Solution

Learning to nurture ourselves consistently empowers us to transform our stress and overwhelm into peace, joy, meaning and vibrant health.

The Impact

Nurturing ourselves provides endless benefits including improved health and relationships, renewed strength, optimism and confidence, increased creativity and self-awareness, and the expansion of self-compassion, love and belief in ourselves.

Are you ready to transform your life?

by Kelley Grimes, MSW The Art of Self-Nurturing

A Field Guide To Living With More Peace, Joy & Meaning

The Art of Self-Nurturing was written to empower you to become the artist of your own life and understand self-nurturing as an art form. Rather than living from obligation and overwhelm, you will learn to cultivate a life filled with self-compassion and self-love.

The practice of self-nurturing is not about being perfect or completing another thing on your “to-do” list, but rather nurturing a relationship with yourself. It is about recognizing what is nurturing in any given moment and allowing your practice to evolve accordingly. The more we nurture ourselves, the more we know ourselves allowing us to reveal more of who we are in the world.

This field guide is designed to make your journey easier and to support you by breaking down the process into 3 parts: The Foundation of Self-Nurturing, Cultivating a Self-Nurturing Practice, and Integrating Self-Nurturing Practices into Your Life. Each section is broken into chapters and will provide inspiration, best practices, examples, reflective questions, and self-nurturing practices. The field guide offers you hundreds of self-nurturing practices that you can try and return to as you build your practice.

Begin the adventure of a lifetime by nurturing the most important relationship you will ever have—the relationship with yourself!

“Between stimulus and response there is space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Viktor E. Frankl

“With a daily ritual of self-care, an inner worthiness begins to blossom. Once it does you will find the courage to act in ways that are self-expressive and self-protective. You will start caring for each of yourself with a fierce and tender concern.”
