Despite my criticism of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, I did benefit from it enough to give this one a try too. And honestly, the title Spark Joy just makes me happy, so I’m going in with higher hopes.

👍👍👍👍👍

I am intrigued

This is the most magical listening experience and I am savoring every second of it 🪄

🤔

It’s okay. The name dropping is a little annoying lol like I get it- you have Oprah’s phone number cool

👍

Ok. Loving this audiobook. It’s definitely not one to listen to straight through or while multitasking because there’s a lot about posture, form, and mindful movement that’s meant to be practiced in real time. It’s interesting and I want to keep listening, but it feels a bit intimidating to take in all at once, so I decided to backtrack and go little by little and focus on applying each concept as I go!

"The level of pain you'll allow another person to cause you, often hovers right around the standards you have for the level and frequency of hurtful thoughts, ways, and words you think and say to yourself"

I just read through the first five exercises in this book and picked two to focus on this week:
1️⃣ Using my non-dominant hand a few times each day
2️⃣ Watching my hands in general- noticing and appreciating all they do for me 🫶

I’m excited to see what small shifts come from paying more attention to something so ordinary.

👍

Good stuff

Meet cute: she threw up on his shoes

#of times since then that shoes or socks or feet have been referenced = too many

Cute premise, but if one more shoe joke drops, I’m walking out barefoot.
