It all starts with a simple note – a reminder that you are worth it. Sharing quotes and mantras that are scribbled on tiny notes, she explores the way journaling can help you understand yourself better. She also teaches workshops and retreats centered around assisting others in finding their voices through storytelling, poetry, and narrative writing.

“A lot of people believe that self-care has to be expensive and lavish, but it doesn’t,” she told Hello Giggles. “It can mean something as simple as making sure that you take five minutes to decompress every day. Take time to breathe. We are moving so quickly that sometimes we don’t even realize we’re breathing! Remember to be here and be present—that’s a non-negotiable for me. It really is amazing what taking five minutes—or whatever you can spare—just to be present can do for the rest of your day.”

“For me, self-care teaches that I can pour into myself just as much as I pour into others,” Elle explains. “In fact, it means that in order to put the most love and care towards others that I can, I must take care of myself first.” Start the new decade on the right foot:

But apart from being a celebrated actress, a humanitarian, and feminist, Watson is also quite the bookworm. So it only made sense that she chose to combine both her passion for reading and activism by starting her own book club. “I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too,” said Watson. “As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there!”

Her book club is an open platform, promoted on Goodreads as well as having its own dedicated Instagram page. To become a member, all you need to do is register for an account and join the group’s page. 

“The plan is to select and read a book every two months, then discuss the work and related topics together,” Watson explains. “I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all.” Whenever possible, authors or other prominent voices on the subject join in the conversation.

So why not join in yourself?
