Studies show that the worse we feel about ourselves, the more stressed we become. Most important, it affects how we feel about ourselves. After a while, that sustained stress and low self-esteem crystalizes into depression and anxiety. And this cycle is preventable. This stress impacts every aspect of our daily lives: how we eat, sleep, move, work, and interact with the people we love. Make self-love a new habit in this 21-day guide to reducing stress, practicing self-care, and increasing life satisfaction. Building on the premise that self-love is the key element in breaking the stress cycle, Unconditional teaches a 21-day habit-forming program to practice self-care and create joy in our daily lives. Gallup reports that Americans are among the most stressed out people in the world-and that was before COVID-19 shuttered our economy!
