Not really impressed tbh. I‘ve heard & read much better than this one.

Book 32👂🏻🎵 - 5⭐️
Another quick listen (2.5hrs) so I will 100% be listening to this again.
I really enjoyed how the author presented mindfulness and how easy he made the understanding.
The second half was meditation 🧘🏼‍♀️ practices which can help anyone looking to be more mindful - will try them in the future too!🤍

My therapist encouraged me to read this. I struggle a lot with anxiety and panic attacks. First COVID and now, just, everything, were making it worse and more frequent so I have been taking this book day by day. It‘s not super helpful so far but that may be because I am not also taking the time out of my day to meditate, but it has certainly helped me to reflect on my thought processes. I am looking forward to reading more.

"Non-doing has nothing to do with being indolent or passive. Quite the contrary. It takes great courage and energy to cultivate non-doing, both in stillness and in activity." - Jon Kabat Zinn

I enjoyed the audiobook so much I decided I needed my own physical copy so I could underline and make notes. The audiobook is pretty short, but packed full of great stuff, more science-based if you prefer that. And if you‘re working on meditation or mindfulness, I highly recommend the audio version since he walks you through guided mindfulness practices.

Leftcoastzen I got a lot out of one of his other books

I'll re-read this (eventually) with my eyes. The audio book was a helpful sleep aid. I haven't yet had a chance to check out the meditations disc in the back of the book. I didn't luuurve it; but, I'll mark it as a cautious Pick.

#BFCr2 All the motivation & encouragement is so energizing! ❤

For those not satisfied with week 2, you're not alone! Many of us didn't get where we wanted. BUT we're sticking with it & making progress. So take time to say “YAY ME!“ for what you did accomplish. The important thing is you STARTED & haven't quit!

Optional Week 3 Photo Challenge: favorite motivational book or most helpful book you've ever read.

Crazeedi It was a different week for me cause I was away, but this 3rd week will be great I can feel it!! 5y

wanderinglynn @Crazeedi yes, when you travel, it‘s hard to stick with your routines & good habits! But you got week 3! 🙌🏻 5y

Crazeedi @wanderinglynn and I almost said I didn't do very well, then I remember what you say! And I changed my thoughts!! Yippee!! I'm also sending another book, I have 2 copies. I sent a package last week to you! 5y

wanderinglynn @Crazeedi I got it! Thank you! 💜 And way to go on the #positivity! It really does make a difference in your outlook. ☺️ 5y

twohectobooks Really like that phrase about finishing last etc. Something I remind myself of a lot in the pool: I may be slow compared to so many others, but I‘m fast compared to where I was last year and the year before! 5y

KathyWheeler I love how positive you are! 5y

wanderinglynn @twohectobooks 👍🏻👍🏻 When I was training for a marathon (and a bit down because I am a S-L-O-W runner), it‘s something a coach said to me. It stuck with me. 5y

wanderinglynn @KathyWheeler It‘s my super power! 😉 5y

LibrarianRyan ⭐️👍🤓 5y

Bookwormjillk Have a great week 3 everyone! 5y

KathyWheeler @wanderinglynn we‘re opposites! My superpower is my negativity. I‘m trying to overcome that though. 5y

Crazeedi @KathyWheeler I've been where you are, but things look brighter when you change your view, it's not easy but worth it! You can do it! We are all here to encourage you!! 5y

Larkken 😍 thanks! Onwards! 5y

wanderinglynn @KathyWheeler it‘s not easy to change habits we‘ve had for a long time, especially when society reinforces them. But as @Crazeedi says, it‘s so worth it. 💜 And like any change, it takes just getting off the couch (so to speak) and then one step at a time, one day at a time. You got this! 🙌🏻 5y

Mitch Happy week 3 everyone 🏆 5y

TheWordJar I love this! It reminds me of my mom and stepfather (73 and 82 years old)...they did their first ever 5k walk this spring. I walked with them and we finished dead last (I took official last so they could say they beat me), but they finished!!!! I was so proud of them. You can‘t finish what you don‘t start. I think this week I‘m going to try to be as good a cheerleader for myself as I am for others! 5y

wanderinglynn @TheWordJar that‘s awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉 5y

This book's gently matter-of-fact tone and careful language introduces the reader to practices for being awake in one's breath, in one's senses. I like that it is written in brief passages, kind of like a daybook, so you can attentively absorb reflections and practices of being - rather than forcing, doing, and striving. #mindfulness #moments #presence #breathe
