Discover why time spent caring for yourself is always time well spent, and the countless ways you can improve your health, happiness and wellbeing.When life is busy, it’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the to-do list and neglect your own needs.

Do you need to sleep better and eat healthier foods? Are you in need of an energy boost or perhaps you struggle to wind down and relax? Are you a worrier?

Discover a moment of peace with these inspiring words and soothing images which all connect to the ‘blue mind’ – the effect of feeling calmed by nearness to water and the colour blue.Water, and the elements associated with water, whether ocean, lake or even swimming pool, can evoke an immediate sensory response in us – it calms us and soothes us. And this has been backed up by scientific research, with studies indicating that being near or in water can lower stress and anxiety, increasing overall wellbeing and happiness, and this mildly meditative state has been called a ‘blue mind’ response. This beautiful gift book features stunning images of waterside settings accompanied by peaceful inspirations, meditations and quotations, all designed to promote a mindful mindset. From the colour blue to words describing how we feel being in or around water, welcome the benefits of ‘blue mind’ into your life. Mantras include: ‘In one drop of water are found all the secrets of the oceans’ (Kahlil Gibran); ‘When I sit here by the sea and listen to the sound of waves, I feel free from all obligations and people of this world’ (Henry Thoreau).
