3 Books that helped me find my inner magic 🪄✨

It’s time to tap into that inner power in 2024- who can agree?💖

These 3 books are not only a fun and easy read but they recognize that in our fast-pace world, it’s easy to forget to schedule that creative time in. Sometimes it isn’t even our busy schedules but fear that stands in the way- “what if I’m not good enough?” Our ego asks. If you’re feeling lost or misaligned, maybe the solution is making time and pushing past the fear for that guitar class or for dancing or painting or whatever makes your heart go like this: ❤️‍🔥!! Fear < Passion

If you’re anything like me, this can seem like a daunting task. Where do I even start? What has worked for me is thinking back on my childhood- what activities was I obessed with? Usually that’s the same activities we love now in adulthood, we’ve just lost sight or touch of that getting wrapped up in 9-5’s or the endless family household chores.

SO, now is time to make time for YOU🌟 and if you need some motivation or direction try one of these 3 books (or all 3!) and I promise you’ll feel refreshed and young again- you’re not alone. It’s time to tap into our inner child for a better and healthier you 🫶🏽

... Read moreIn the journey of self-discovery, literature can be a powerful ally. Among the standout recommendations, "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle resonates with many readers—reminding us that we should prioritize our happiness above societal expectations. Doyle’s assertive narrative encourages embracing one's authentic self, a call to awaken from the slumber of complacency. It’s a heartfelt reminder that our personal struggles often contribute to our unique beauty and strength. Next, Liz Gilbert's "Big Magic" focuses on the intricacies of creativity, urging readers to listen closely to their inner voice and passions. This bestseller provides insights into overcoming fear, emphasizing that creativity is an essential part of our well-being rather than a luxury. Gilbert’s warm anecdotes will resonate deeply with those looking to reignite their passion for artistic pursuits. Finally, Eve Rodsky’s "Find Your Unicorn Space" offers practical tools for reclaiming the joy in creative activities. Rodsky illustrates how to carve out sacred time for your passions amidst busy schedules, providing actionable steps to foster creativity without guilt. This book is essential for anyone seeking balance between a hectic life and the need for personal fulfillment. By nurturing the inner child we often neglect, these books steer us toward a healthier mindset and invite us to embark on a journey back to self-love and creativity. 2024 is the year to embrace vulnerability and rediscover the activities that bring joy into our lives!
