In this constant everyday world of endless scrolling, comparisons and FOMO we all need something to actually be mindful of ourselves before things get worse. Self care is a very overused term and a very underrated approach we actually take in reality.
Most times the term “self care” is taken as something very luxurious, similar to the concept of taking vacations and splurging. I do feel it is very misunderstood.
I feel this book is a very much needed entry at this point. It tries to cover almost every single that a person would need to focus on if they are really concerned about themselves when they feel they do need a break from everyone and everything.
The book covers activities and affirmations for thirteen weeks which I feel is so well covered when it comes to so many aspects in a person’s life which need focus and attention.
I love the prompts. They aren’t repetitive which I really appreciate. The pages are colourful and the writing is action oriented which will prompt the reader to make a choice there and then.
I find the book really helpful and I am thinking of getting a copy as soon as it is available.
Thank you, Harper Celebrate, for the advance reading copy.
I loved Stacie's first book, Vibrant. Couldn't get enough of it, I reread it many times. So I expected great things from her follow-up, Glow. I was unfortunately disappointed by the book and didn't even finish it. If you enjoy books that you read a little at a time (a chapter a week) and build upon, you will probably like this one. But I personally enjoy books you can read straight through to the end without starting and stopping. That said, the book was full of great information and tips to keep you positive and motivated.
I picked that book because I was planning to start the new year with some positive readings.
reading what the book is about, I thought that this would be a self-motivating book that would teach you to transform your life by following certain tips in the morning and the evening... well, NO! .. it turned out that the whole book is a collection of tips!.. one tip everyday in the morning and another tip for you to read in the evening, for 90 days!
this is NOT a book to read!.. its a motivational positive tips app that sends you a daily tip to make you feel better.. you cannot sit and enjoy reading that book in a reading session.. the only way to use that book is to keep it next to your bed and read the tip in the morning when you wake up and the then read another tip later before you hit the bed to sleep at night
As for the tips.. nothing new!.. nothing is really extra than what you could read in any general self motivation websites or in a magazine article.
I didn't even complete the book. Not sure if I will!
It would appear that Dr. Stephenson has never heard of neurodivergence. So many of these recommendations do not work or apply to a neurodivergent brain. Overall, this book was calming, but completely negated by the lack of inclusion throughout. (As you read, you'll note the author's many attempts to be inclusive through their language, which is great. But the *actual advice* is not.) I received a complimentary audiobook from the publisher via libro.fm.
The hot pink cover and one of my favorite words as the title. I knew I had to read this book. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the purpose of this review. I found the information helpful but there wasn't much I hadn't read in books before. I'm rating it three stars.
Its nice to have a guide but this book seems overly done and a bit to long in my opinion. While its nice to have a follow along. I did not keep my interest.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the unbiased review of this publication.
An enjoyable self-love book 💖 A bit repetitive but I liked the daily AM and PM format. I've already been using many of the lessons and it has made me think about a few things that I may have normally overlooked.
