30 Days of Self-Love: The Complete Journal and Handbook for Women Starting Over

It is half past eight on a Tuesday. The house is quiet, the day is done, and there is nobody to say the small thing to.

That is the part nobody warns you about when you start over.

This journal is for that woman. The one who is managing, and for whom managing is taking everything she has. The one who has said I am fine to people who did not want a longer answer. The one who has started to wonder, quietly, whether she could actually build something good from here.

159 pages. Not a list of pretty questions. A companion for the hardest and most hopeful season of your life.

What makes this different

Most journals hand you a question and leave you to it. Questions on their own are not much use on the morning you can barely get out of bed.

So every one of the 30 days gives you four things. A short piece that explains what is happening to you and why, so you are not writing into the dark. The prompt, with three deeper questions if you have more to say. One small action to take in the real world. And a spoken affirmation, plus thirty lines of your own to write on.

The thirty days are built in four weeks. Release. Remember Who You Are. Rebuild Your Days. Rise.

The Starting Over Handbook

Then there is the second half, which is the practical one. Thirteen sections you can open on any day, in any order.

• The hard day kit, including what to do at three in the morning
• Exactly what to say when family and neighbours ask what happened
• 20 boundary sentences you can borrow word for word
• Money while you rebuild, and how to stop being frightened of your own numbers
• Going back to work, or starting something of your own
• Rebuilding your circle and making friends as a grown woman
• Starting over in a new country or a new town
• When there are children
• The evenings, and the loneliness nobody mentions
• Grief with no funeral
• Shame, and what people say about you
• Anger, and where to put it
• When a journal is not enough, and how to find real help

Also inside

• 100 affirmations, sorted by the kind of day you are having
• 60 extra prompts for when the thirty days are finished
• A 30 day tracker, a mood and energy tracker, and a daily ritual tracker

Who it is for

Women rebuilding after divorce or separation. After loss. After leaving. After moving country. After a job or a business ended. After years of putting everyone else first.

It makes a quiet, serious gift for a friend, a sister or a daughter who is going through it.
