Self-Preservation: Choosing To Thrive

When we take care of ourselves, we are able to be helpful to others. Self-sacrifice, while it may seem noble, is often a trap that ultimately burns us out and dries us up. If we are ever going to fulfill our potential and be contributors to our world and helpers to those around us, we need to make sure we are taking care of ourselves. Self-preservation is the real path to thriving and making our lives count.

In this book, I discuss the power of breathing, the essence of strength training, and even the importance of building and maintaining a strong pelvic floor. If we can breathe, have strong bodies, and be grounded, we can be rooted in our true selves and offer ourselves to the world around us.

This is not a self-care book; it's a preservation book. Here is the Merriam-Webster definition of preservation: the activity or process of keeping something valued alive, intact, or free from damage or decay.

That's what this book is about: preserving ourselves ensures our ability to live an amazing life.
