I loved this book! It really helped me get out of a dark place during a dark time in my life. 💖

I wanted to love this, but it felt like it didn't explain enough of the how and too much pseudoscience of manifesting your reality. It has solid advice that was a bit clouded by suggestions to raise your vibration.

4✨ Once I read my chapters today I wanted to keep going. The author shares tips on how to create a better life for yourself. Most of the advice is shown in examples of what you would or would not want to see in your life, and then there are aspirations/manifestations. However, a big point is love yourself, and get up to do something about the desire you have for your life. Don‘t just say what you want, take action! #Roll100 March @PuddleJumper

Found this book through another book I was listening to…don‘t remember why 🤔🤔 Plus side, it‘s very short only 6 hours at regular speed. The info is pretty basic but maybe how Sincero presents it will resonate with you. A LOT of focus on manifesting if that‘s your jam.

#30daysOfSelfHelpBooks
It's time to reinvent one self! I have vibrated so low for such a long time. This year I was even worse. I lied to myself a lot and subjected myself to toxic environments and people. All that can be attributed to my low self esteem, plus not knowing who I really was. This is a pact to myself to do better, to be better and to live my best life. I'll enter 2022 brand new! I'll be reborn emotionally and intellectually.

I did not like this book. I almost DNF‘d this book multiple times and some of Jen‘s concepts, such as “Source Energy” were confusing and hard to follow. I also disliked how Jen implied “just changing your mindset” will cure your depression, and I ended up skipping through chapter 24 because I couldn‘t stand that chapter. Overall, Jen had some good points but a portion of her advice is just dumb and/or is not practical for most people.

Ok so please trust me when I say that I am usually NOT into “self-help” stuff, but this book helped me through a really difficult time so I recommend it. I listened to it as an audio book first, then bought the hard copy so I can reread it and also so I could make notes etc. It‘s not so much that what she says is dramatically different but the way she says it and her own examples just really spoke to me. It might help someone else so I am sharing!

“If you want to live a life you‘ve never lived, you have to do things you‘ve never done.”
This quote spoke to me in many ways. We often find ourselves looking at other people‘s lives sayings “I wish I could be them”, “I want their life”, “look at how much fun they‘re having”, but we don‘t do anything about it. #LitsyReads #CurrentlyReading #HumpdayPosts

Not quite as many books as I'd hoped for but I'm still happy with the numbers. I was in a slump towards the end of the year. Here's to hoping 2021 is better.

This has been on my #TBR and taking up bookshelf space forever. Seemed like a good one to finish out the year with, and it was but it fell a bit short of the mark. While she shared a few good ideas and I felt moments of inspiration, overall the information was a bit dated and had too much woo-woo for me. I‘m glad I read (listened) to it but I‘m really glad to donate it and let it move in from my life.

"Wanting can be done sitting on the couch with a bong in your hand and a travel magazine in your lap.

Deciding means jumping in all the way, doing whatever it takes, and going after your dreams with the tenacity of a dateless cheerleader a week before prom night."

Re-reading this gem as I prepare for 2021.

1. My #Readolutions for 2021: read 100 books, budget with #PennyPerPage, keep up w/ SciManDan‘s book club, start a low key Booktube channel. The latter is more of a pipe dream, but still... 😅
2. Tagged. I don‘t do “self-help”, but it was a freebie, so I thought, “Eh, why not?” 😂🤣
3. Neal Shusterman, the Arc of a Scythe series looks SO good! Can‘t wait to start it! 😍

E readers and audio books are not my typical go to, but I when I have to spend 4 hours in the car for work travel then I appreciate the time to myself. I have read this book in the past but feeling like I need the reminder that this Girl Boss really is a Badass! #badass #girlboss #coo #audiobook

Started listening to this audiobook with my sister a couple weekends ago and finished it up today. Overall, I liked it and think she had some great messages/advice. I didn‘t always like some of her metaphors but I‘m hoping to keep at least some of her pointers in mind going forward

Book 28 of the year**

This felt like Prosperity Gospel for people who don't believe in God.

If you just believe hard enough in and pray to "source energy" it will all work out in your favor!

**not really, I still haven't caught up on my back log but I finished this and wanted to record my thoughts before they fade

I liked this book. However, I expected more from it, given the degree of hype surrounding it. I thought it had good points and a lot of common sense. Thoughts?

A sometimes interesting task on common ideas. I couldn‘t get on board with the whole “high frequency living” part, (wtf does that even mean?) which kind of cut me off from the rest. The writing style was sometime fun, but was repetitive and often wandered into gimmicky. #audioread
