For all of perfectionist friends…

I am usually weary when it comes to wellness workbooks. I have tried some in the past and they just haven’t worked for me. However, my therapist recommended this workbook for me when we addressed my perfectionism and I am loving it. The mindful self compassion workbook has some great exercises to help you understand your feelings on a deeper level.

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5

Here is the link to buy it on Amazon if you are interested: The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook: A Proven Way to Accept Yourself, Build Inner Strength, and Thrive https://a.co/d/0f1NL5HR

**Just a note, just because this book works for me doesn’t mean it will work for everyone. I just wanted to put it out there that it is working for me, so anyone struggling with self compassion and giving themselves grace might benefit from it. Everyone has different experiences and might use this book differently. 🩷
