About the book
It is easy to rush ahead in life and lose contact with ourselves as we meet the demands and obligations of the world. Our culture pushes us to hustle and perpetually live in the future, leaving us disconnected from the present. We can even find ourselves living our lives based on "shoulds" rather than what makes us feel most alive.
Whether you already have a journaling practice or are just starting out, The Seasonal Self will help you connect with nature and the seasons, bringing a conscious awareness to your lived experience.
With 90 daily prompts beginning January 1 through March 31, clinical psychologist Christine Sparacino takes you through the seasons, informed by Chinese medicine. Each prompt asks you to connect with your body, listen to your heart, and carve out a deeply meaningful life.
This beautifully illustrated journal will anchor you in your true nature while honoring the seasons of life.
If you long for a daily ritual that invites you to slow down, this is for you!
