MANILA, PHILIPPINES - It's the Fully BookedMid-Year Sale, which is a happy and exciting time to snag all those books you've been dreaming of. But suddenly, in the middle of the bookshop, faced with endless rows of shelves and a growing number of customers, intense feelings of panic and overwhelm bubble up inside. With so many great reads, deciding which ones should make it to the book haul can be tricky.

STARDUST I will bet it is lonely, isolated, after all, If you are truly leading You are at the head, apex, foreground First line of defence First one in Last one out Rising with the sun Keeping orbit as stardust does After all We are a species Attached to the art of pack But the composition of a leader This is for the ones That occupy solitude, voluntarily Ask yourself, how is titan is made, born, grown?

Practicing self-care comes in many forms, including eating well, getting the right amount of exercise and sleep, spending time doing things that make you feel happy and mindful, keeping a good work-life balance, and, of course, taking care of yourself when you feel sick.
