Publisher Description
Banish burnout, worry, and stress once and for all with these practical tips and strategies for relaxing, going beyond simple self-care to chill your mind, body, and soul.
Women are resilient leaders driven to achieve but can often feel stressed out. They are being adversely impacted by the Covid-19 “she-cession” with less and less women returning to the workforce due to the multi-faceted responsibilities they face inside and outside of their homes. And in a world where heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, they can’t afford to wait to relax.
Author Angela D. Coleman’s prescription in The Art of Chilling Out for Women teaches women the value of chilling out. Here women can learn to seek self-awareness, self-love, happiness, peace, and health. With this essential resource, women will eliminate burnout, stress, and excessive personal sacrifice with practical tips and holistic wellness, like creating cleansing spaces and sacred spots, releasing childhood trauma, establishing boundaries, increasing compassion and self-love, eliminating doubt, regulating with herbs, and listening to your physical self, and much more. This book is a must-have for any woman burdened by taking on the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Coleman (A Journey Toward Womanhood), founder of female empowerment nonprofit Sisterhood Agenda, presents an earnest but unsuccessful guide that promises to transform "stressed-out worriers" into "relaxation warriors." In 101 brief entries, Coleman accompanies each piece of tension-reducing advice with an affirmation, a plan for shifting one's behavior, and ideas for using feng shui and specific plants and gemstones for healing. For example, readers can "feel feelings" (tip 16) with the affirmation "I allow myself to feel what I feel when I feel it," while those wishing to "prevent self-sabotage" (tip 42) might "make a detailed plan to reclaim your time and energy spent taking care of others" or burn herbs such as skullcap "for relinquishing control." Elsewhere, she recommends the stressed "get restorative rest" and "learn what spirit needs." While Coleman outlines some concrete rituals (writing out "aspects of your life that you want to release to the Universe" and then burning the list), her interventions are more often confusingly vague (tip 88 encourages readers to "prioritize the vibe") or too reliant on stock positivity to mean much of anything. Readers seeking substance to go along with the solace should look elsewhere.
