Finding My Way to Self Love!

Commenté aux États-Unis le 1 octobre 2020

After reading A LOT of self-help books over the years, I thought is was definitely time to try a self-LOVE workbook. This was the perfect choice! Don’t laugh when I say the first thing that caught my eye was that it is colorful, inside and out. That immediately cheered me up. Secondly, this book allowed me to actually have FUN on my journey of self-discovery and self-love. Yes, I shed a few tears, but I also laughed and I was amazed at how much I found to love about myself and truly embrace. It has always been there. I just buried it under a lot of shame, guilt, and beliefs that basically came from other people. Also, I didn’t just write in this book, I got to draw and doodle and truly express myself in so many ways. Each page was like opening a gift. In addition to the insightful information, the author shared inspiring messages and quotes from dozens of women like Brene’ Brown, Maya Angelou, and more — all women who have forged their own paths of inspiring others. The beauty of this workbook is that it becomes a treasure to revisit again and again. It’s not a book that will just sit on my shelf. It’s meant to be lovingly reviewed and reread; cherished and amended over time to see how far I’ve come and grown, and how I can continue to grow. I love that it’s like a travelogue of my journey and evolution. MY story! MY growth! ME loving ME! FINALLY!

Great in Theory, Execution Falls Flat

Commenté aux États-Unis le 31 janvier 2021

This is one of those “self-help” books that falls down on itself.

I’m not as educated as some of the people who write them – I am a real person who lives in the real world.

That said …

This book is slightly skewed towards more of the “everything you do is okay” as opposed to maybe “do more of this, less of this, work on this”. It is also, in my opinion, not written for the real world. Some of it is a bit too open for interpretation.

What do I mean?

Take chapter 4 “Find Self-Compassion”. On page 48, it asks you to talk to yourself like you would console or counsel a friend. Let’s be honest – we sugar coat things and our friend gets the wrong impression, we’re too harsh and we’re “shaming” them. But, given these scenarios – it is cringe-worthy to image having these conversations:

#1 – “I got fired from my job for making a mistake”

REAL LIFE: Depending on the mistake, being fired MIGHT be the least of the person’s worries. I knew someone who “lost” about $480 from a night shift drop. That mistake isn’t easy to “soothe” over with something cozy. In some cases it can even led to charges being filed. You cannot soothe that over. Even in a minor case – that is the employer’s prerogative to fire someone for a mistake.

#2 – “My significant other broke up with me”

REAL LIFE: If my friend wasn’t faithful, I’d say the significant other probably had a reason to walk out.

#3 – “I did not get hired for my dream job because I was under qualified”

REAL LIFE: Uh, this one I cannot get into. Really can’t. The person isn’t qualified, they don’t get hired. I just can’t see the problem there. My mom had 20+ years in her field and still had issues getting another placement in the hospital where she worked. It happens to qualified and even over-qualified people (true story – my mother was denied a job because she was TOO qualified). Under qualified? There isn’t anything wrong with an employer saying no to them.

#4 – “My friends had a party and didn’t invite me”

REAL LIFE: “This is a shaking my head” one. This is NOT elementary school, junior high, or high school. My family has had events and not invited me despite being in my home town to hold said event. My uncle got re-married in my home town and didn’t even invite my mother, his sister. These things happen.

#5 – “I had to go up a dress size”

REAL LIFE: Being plus size, this is NOTHING new for me. There are two choices – get the bigger size or lose weight. But, some companies are sizing “down” on their clothing. I can order a 2x top from Target, Walmart, and Kohl’s – they’ll all fit differently. FYI: this happened to my mom with a set of pants at one retailer. Black – normal fit; navy blue – loose; khaki – WAY TOO TIGHT. I have at least 3 different sizes of clothes in my closet.

This “assessment” situation isn’t too clear as to the situation which led up to the statements. Based on my REAL LIFE answers, I’d be a terrible friend, but an honest one.

If the person truly didn’t do anything wrong (except #3, possibly #5) – yes, compassion and honesty are to work in tandem. You would likely console or counsel them in a way that made them feel better. But, these scenarios are FAR too broad to use for a “worksheet” in being kinder to ourselves.

This is just ONE example of some questionable “assessment” worksheets.

Chapter Six: “Build Your Self-Worth” has a Body Image Gratitude Scan on page 95. While interesting, I think it really gets far too “graphic” especially with “thanking my stomach for digesting food” and “thanking my bottom for removing waste”.

I get the section is trying to get people to have a positive body image, as a plus size girl – thank you – but let’s be real, I should lose weight and am working on that.

I do think the author tries to be helpful in getting some with low self-confidence and low self-esteem to rise above, which is why I got it as I can use a booster more often than not. It is the methods I cringe at.

This is not something I’d recommend or get someone as a gift.

Fun & helpful

This book is fun and helpful. For a much deeper dive into self-compassion I recommend for anyone interested the book: Compassion Focused Therapy by Paul Gilbert. It helps to know the underlying causes beneath the reasons we may struggle with self-love.

Beautiful and alot of useful activities

I got this as a gift for a friend, but also to low key check out the interior to see if it would be something I would like... and after flipping through it looks like a really good workbook and I'll be buying another for myself. There is a solid mix of descriptions & small activities, the book is broken up into a few different sections and it looks like it could be really good. There were a few weird scuffs on the cover of the book but as this is a workbook that will hopefully be getting alot of use in not worried about it, I'm sure things happen at the shipping facility.

So many activities!

Commenté au Canada le 14 décembre 2021

Achat vérifié

I am half way through the book, and although I am not fully transformed and exuding self love energy every day I actually find this book really helpful. I understand that loving myself takes daily practice and conscious effort. The activities in this book are very relevant and I try to dedicate 10 minutes a day to immersing myself in the book's activities. Really enjoying it so far and highly recommend it!

This book is great to fill in. Some of the questions are a little home hitting and they do make you stop and think. Some of them may not be relevant to how you’re feeling but I love it!
