Boundless living: finding everyday ways to feel content [Embracing the boundless life means holistically taking care of your well-being.]
consist of 3 parts; • strategies for boundless living (focus on things that we can control) • the challenge: 90 days exercise (practicing gratitude, exercise & healthy diet, meditative practice, and trying new things) • from 90 days to 60 days and beyond (transitioning to long-lasting habit)
Book flow: • reflect and decide areas of life to improve • set goals and keep track of daily progress • be consistent! (w action steps)
Basically it’s an action plan kind of books where there’s an entry for you to read everyday for (apprx) 3 months which a good length of period to form a habit or a routine.
Intro is quite promising as it sets to cover on “getting out of rut” and “positive change” and “self exploration” etc etc. As a non-fiction reader, I’ve stumbled upon a lot of self-help books with this kind of style —Maxwell, Greene, Holiday, and others. Therefore, I guess the highlight should be on the content and whether or not they’re impactful. Meant to be a toolbox of strategies for a more positive life.
The plus point is definitely; • emphasis on mental landscape • trusting gut feeling • visualisation exercise • false modesty (haven’t come across in other books)
I love how it starts with writing a letter to yourself about your current situation and why the change is important for your life and then proceed with visualisation exercise putting your senses and imagination to work so that you could figure out tiny goals that could lead you to your destination/goals. Afterwards, tracking your progress and whenever you face limitations or bad days, tie that complaint you have in your mind to constructive action items because most of the time, pessimism just clouded your judgement and making it looks like you’ve reached dead end when things aren’t really that bad and it’s not the end of the world.
