Being Magazine - Being 11

In this issue

The theme of this last issue of Being magazine is self-care, which means different things to each one of us, and it changes on a day-to-day basis. Inside this issue, explore slow fashion, mandalas for wellbeing, mindful humour and the power of rest. Embrace the kindness of strangers, a simple life, seasonal living and self-compassion. Find ease in just being, reframe productivity, nourish with cacao and cherish winter cooking. Make friends with your shadow, take a mindful approach to immunity and discover what self-care looks like in practice. Ernest Hemingway once said, “Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might.” So if we heed the late American novelist’s advice when it comes to self-care, then when you practise acts of self-care, really savour the experience as a gesture of love and respect for yourself. If, at the very least, you're reading this last issue of Being as a means of curiosity and contemplation, then today, you’ve taken care of yourself.
