Eat Your Peas by Cheryl Karpen
The beginning of the book is set up as if it has been gifted to you. However, the messages within the book are important. Only a few sentences a page, the small book has little encouraging messages that can go a long way when needed. Just reading a page a day can put a new perspective on your day. Its central theme is encouraging the little, positive things in life as small as eating your peas.

Sloths as we all know and love them are very slow-moving creatures that don’t mind slowing down for a while. This book is written for you to embrace the lives of the sloths for a while. Sometimes the best thing for taking care of ourselves is just slowing down the craziness in life and taking extra time for things like sleeping, bathing, and hanging out on the couch.

Taking time to cherish little things that this book reminds you of the key parts in taking care of yourself.
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
A very popular book and movie that narrates the author’s journey across the world in self-healing. The book tells about some upsetting events that happened in Gilbert’s life that led her to a great state of depression, but after she decided to go on the trip by herself, her life was turned around. Although not all of us are going to be able to go across the world for a year, the book is inspiring to find things to help you move forward and release the things not letting you move forward. Gilbert writes in a charming manner that makes the book easier to read, and the chapters are usually on the shorter side. Hopefully, the book is inspiring to say it is okay to step back and take care of yourself no matter where it leads you.
