Meet Ellen Donovan: Advocate for Self-Care and Exercise.

Registered Nurse Turned Self-Care Advocate Shares Exercise Tips in New Book

Ellen Donovan, a seasoned registered nurse and president of One Life Consulting, is set to release her chapter in the upcoming book, The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Life. In her chapter, Ellen shares her journey from caregiving to self-care advocacy and emphasizes the importance of exercise as a foundational tool for self-care.

Ellen’s experience working with older adults in various care settings led her to realize the importance of self-care not only for seniors but also for their adult children who often neglect their own well-being while caring for their loved ones. This realization inspired Ellen to launch One Life Consulting and start advocating for self-care.

In her chapter, Ellen offers practical steps for beginners to make exercise a sustainable priority in their lives. She introduces tools such as exercise journaling, setting realistic goals, creating a weekly exercise plan, and incorporating meaningful rewards into one’s routine. Ellen believes that self-care, especially through movement and exercise, is essential for maintaining overall well-being.

For those who feel they have very full lives and struggle to make time for exercise, Ellen recommends prioritizing self-care by making exercise a non-negotiable part of their daily routine. By finding small pockets of time throughout the day and setting aside dedicated time for movement, individuals can make significant improvements to their health and well-being.

Ellen’s chapter in The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Life will be available in January 2025. Readers can expect to gain valuable insights into the importance of exercise and practical tips for incorporating fitness into their self-care routine. Stay tuned for more information on the book’s release and how you can receive a free gift upon notification.
