⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣{Thank you to @tillerpress for my gifted copy}⁣⁣The Handbook for Bad Days was one of those books that caught my eye because, at the time, I was having a bad day. ⁣⁣First off, any book synopsis that shares "Why a fuzzy pink cardigan and some Celine Dion is just as good as a Sanskrit mantra" is a book for me. 💫⁣⁣I am a big fan of personal development books but I also am a person with my feet placed firmly in reality and the ones that just seem a bit too far-fetched and impractical often make me roll my eyes.⁣⁣There is no perfect path to life, nor is there a secret equation to perfecting it so you never have a bad day again. And Eveline Helmink gets this. 🙌⁣⁣Her writing is approachable, humorous, and real. I also appreciated that from the very beginning she differentiated between a bad day and reaching out if bad days become the norm. ⁣⁣As someone who deals with both anxiety and depression, it is an immediate red flag when an author shares advice about mental health issues being something you can just "choose" to think differently about. ⁣⁣Accessing and utilizing support and/or medication for mental health is something I feel strongly about normalizing, and I appreciate that she didn't downplay this part. 👏⁣⁣Anyway, I could go on and on about this book because it just spoke to me so much. Her image of bad days being similar to the feeling of being in the dark woods, often drawn in almost unknowingly by an unpleasant feeling or negative thought is one of the most accurate ways I have ever heard it described. 🌲🌳⁣⁣I also appreciated her thoughts on how being in this space has its benefits when we let ourselves really feel them. Some of the most challenging times of my life, also brought me so much clarity and information about myself when I stopped fighting to "get out" and allowed myself to learn as I worked my way through them. 🙏⁣⁣Written with compassion and the idea that life is indeed a learning process, I know this is a book that will stick with me for a very long time.

{Thank you to @tillerpress for my gifted copy}⁣
⁣
The Handbook for Bad Days was one of those books that caught my eye because, at the time, I was having a bad day. ⁣
⁣
First off, any book synopsis that shares "Why a fuzzy pink cardigan and some Celine Dion is just as good as a Sanskrit mantra" is a book for me. 💫⁣
⁣
I am a big fan of personal development books but I also am a person with my feet placed firmly in reality and the ones that just seem a bit too far-fetched and impractical often make me roll my eyes.⁣
⁣
There is no perfect path to life, nor is there a secret equation to perfecting it so you never have a bad day again. And Eveline Helmink gets this. 🙌⁣
⁣
Her writing is approachable, humorous, and real. I also appreciated that from the very beginning she differentiated between a bad day and reaching out if bad days become the norm. ⁣
⁣
As someone who deals with both anxiety and depression, it is an immediate red flag when an author shares advice about mental health issues being something you can just "choose" to think differently about. ⁣
⁣
Accessing and utilizing support and/or medication for mental health is something I feel strongly about normalizing, and I appreciate that she didn't downplay this part. 👏⁣
⁣
Anyway, I could go on and on about this book because it just spoke to me so much. Her image of bad days being similar to the feeling of being in the dark woods, often drawn in almost unknowingly by an unpleasant feeling or negative thought is one of the most accurate ways I have ever heard it described. 🌲🌳⁣
⁣
I also appreciated her thoughts on how being in this space has its benefits when we let ourselves really feel them. Some of the most challenging times of my life, also brought me so much clarity and information about myself when I stopped fighting to "get out" and allowed myself to learn as I worked my way through them. 🙏⁣
⁣
Written with compassion and the idea that life is indeed a learning process, I know this is a book that will stick with me for a very long time. The book synopsis and my full review are up on genthebookworm.com this morning 💕⁣
⁣
QOTD: Do you read personal development books? 💭
Who else falls asleep while reading each night? 📚🌙⁣
⁣
I make our bed first thing every morning. It became a habit when our kids were really little because it made me feel like I had at least some kind of control over our day. 🛏😅⁣
⁣
Anyway, I don't there has ever been a time when I don't find at least one of our kindles mixed up in the sheets. Sadly, one of ours once made its way into the washing machine, which was a very sad day...when I found it on its way into the dryer...💦💔⁣
⁣
And one of my favorite parts about being a #kindlereader is that I can read until I fall asleep and I don't have to worry about turning off the light...it’s the little things!💡💃🏻⁣
⁣
It is also way less traumatic than when you fall asleep reading a book and lose what page you were on. 👀😨⁣
⁣
QOTD: Do you read before falling asleep? And if so, do you read on a kindle or use a book light?I would love to hear 📖🔦⁣
