Welcome to Litsy!

#mentalhealthmonday

Late because work started back yesterday so I was busy, which was good for my mental health. I have ADHD so unless there‘s a “fire”, it‘s difficult for me to keep myself moving and focused. And with this mess in Iran, (and Dodgers having a travel day, lol), I would have probably been frozen in bed.

Great book on simplifying life with clear priority and purpose to achieve harmony!

Low pick. It is hard when people pour so much of themselves into a book. This is a good introduction for people who are new to body positivity, eating disorders, and queer and disabled body talk. As someone who is familiar with the issues there wasn't much new for me here. A lot of the book was Instagram quippy talks.
I don't recommend the audio. There are a lot of quotes she reads from I think her IG communityand it started to be confusing.

#TuesdayTunes a day late.

Love this song about being the family scapegoat & ending generational trauma.

“Please
Handle with ease
Ironing out a 50 year old crease
This shit is not a disease I am free
Healing what's broken 'fore I'm deceased
Fertilize new branches in this family tree”

Not responsible
for other people‘s actions
despite what they say.

I try to remind myself of this every day. My brain knows this is true but my heart struggles with it. Time to let go of the anxiety. I can‘t control what other people do. 🩵💙🩵

This was an absolutely incredible book. It has helped me adjust so much. “Tiny Changes. Remarkable Results.”

(This is maybe going to be a long post)

This is totally a #blameitonlitsy - it just kept on appearing and appearing and appearing in my feed. So who am I to fight Reading Destiny? And yes, it was a good thing to listen to it. RD knows what I need.

Because I so, so needed that book. It's short and easy to read, and it has to be. It's written for people in very dark places and those often don't have the strength and energy to read big books. ⬇

After being on my TBR for years I listened to the #audiobook, read by the author. While I'm not a huge fan of self help books, I thought this one sounded like one that would be worth reading. And it was. Despite quite a bit of it not really applying to me where I am in life now, there were many points that truly resonated with me. The down to earth writing style made it easy to read and the author's brutal honesty and humor made it enjoyable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

You‘re nothing but an
emotional vampire,
bleeding me bone dry. 🩸

Wow. Yeah. That's me. Still.
