For me, self-care is all about connecting with the Divine, healing, re-centering, and lifting my perspective higher. So that means daily books are a huge component to my sacred self-care routines!
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see me share my morning self-care routine every so often on Insta stories, and it always includes pictures from one or three of the daily books below.
Daily books are perfect because they’re short but powerful reads that help you to connect and get into a higher vibration before your day begins, which causes a beautiful ripple effect of manifestations and a feeling of being grounded the rest of the day.
I usually read a page out of a couple of the books, whichever ones I’m most drawn to at the moment. The following books are ones that I recommend if you’d like to incorporate a good daily book into your daily self-care routine:
Simple Abundance
My first daily book, and it took me on such a magical journey. One of my most popular blog posts came from a suggestion in this book, A Sacred Self-Care Birthday Ritual. And that birthday ritual truly shifted something within me, a self-love affair of sorts.
This book changed me, and if I had to recommend one daily book for your self-care routine, this one would be it.
Journey to the Heart
This is a beautiful daily book with great though-provoking messages. I love the stories and perspective’s Melody shares and my favorite part is always her reflective questions at the end. They always make for awesome journal prompts.
Romancing the Ordinary
Another great book from the author of Simple Abundance. What I like about this one in particular is that even though it’s not set up specifically to be a daily book, it’s laid out like one with short reflections and this one is all about enjoying the sensual experience of life.
I love the way she writes about getting in touch with our intuition and fully engaging our physical senses.
Until Today
While I will admit I haven’t gone through this book very much, I do think it’s a great choice for a daily book. It focuses on spiritual growth filled with a-ha moments and beautiful affirmations.
The Book of Awakening
Mark Nepo, the author of this daily book, has a very deep and profound perspective on life which I think is due to the fact that he experienced cancer. I love the way he puts things and the quotes he shares along with each daily message. This book is usually in my morning rotation.
Heart Thoughts
Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL book. Please get this book for your heart! It is so uplifting and healing. It’s not a daily book but I use it like one.
There are lots of topics covered, like “abundance”, “accidents”, “family”, “guilt”, “deserving,” and for each one there’s a quote on one side and the other side looks like the photo above, with an affirmation and then a short message.
There’s also a new card deck companion that’s like the book and it would also be perfect for pulling a card every morning and meditating on the message.
You Can Heal Your Life Book + Workbook
Okay so this book and workbook combo aren’t daily books at all, but I had to add them to this list just because I DO use them in my self-care routine as part of my healing.
The book is really good, and the workbook gave me one of the biggest healing breakthroughs I’ve ever had. I still remember the day because I was sitting in Kohl’s parking lot, eating In-N-Out while filling in the workbook, and all of the sudden hot tears were streaming down my face and I felt broke open in the best way possible.
It was like in the movies when a character finally realizes the truth of something and a reel of scenes from their life flashes in their mind as all the pieces come together and they see the bigger picture. That’s what happened to me that day, and I’ve never been the same since.
Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac
This is a new daily book I got just this month and I’m really enjoying it. I love knowing where the moon is and I find the short daily messages educational as well as an invitation to connect with the Divine.
I hope you enjoyed this post. If you have any daily books that I didn’t share above, please share them in the comments below; I as well as other readers would love to know!

The witches almanac looks like a book that I just have to get. Great book list!
It’s a good one, I hope you enjoy it! <3
Celtic Spirit by Caitlin Matthews is awesome !! I’ve had my eye on Simple Abundance for some time now , l think I’ll finally make the purchase . Xoxox
Oh I like the sound of that title, I’ll have to check it out! Thank you <3
Thank you for the book recommendations! I’ve read both the Sarah Ban Breathnach books on your list. I used to have Romancing the Ordinary but I gave it away because I felt it wasn’t resonating with me anymore. (Just for me personally). 🙂 I think I should check out Simple Abundance again though. I enjoy re-reading You Can Heal Your Life and plan to get the workbook.
Witches’ Spell-A-Day Almanac sounds like something I’d like. Last year had the Llewellyn’s Sabbats Almanac and this year I have both Deborah Blake’s A Year and a Day of Everyday Witchcraft and Kate West’s The Real Witches’ Year. (They’re both daily books). I’d wanted the Kate West one for ages but it was quite expensive for ne. But then my cousin gave me an Amazon voucher for Christmas so I used some of it on that. I’ll have a look at the other books you mentioned too. 🙂
Yes, I think Simple Abundance is definitely one you should check out again 🙂 I agree that some of the other Sarah Ban Breathnach books just don’t resonate as much. I just love daily books, the Kate West one sounds really good! I’ll have to check that one out.
