evenings wrapped in quiet melancholy...

- out on your own

— Louise Erdrich, The Antelope Wife

I liked it because it shows a series of continuous weekly exercises where it asks you questions and makes you analyze yourself to find out where you're failing to get the life you want and long for. Plus the way it's written makes the exercises feel less like a chore and more like a necessary moment of introspection with yourself. The weekly progression is really well designed since it allows for real progress in your mindset. It helped me identify thought patterns that I didn't know were limiting me and keeping me stuck. I loved the daily practice I did thanks to this book. What I value most is that it doesn't just stay in the theory; the practical part is what really makes a difference compared to other personal growth books. It's a must read for anyone willing to be honest with themselves and looking for tangible tools for change. Thanks to Netgalley for letting me get to know this ARC gem.

My week off is nice so far, could be better but it's nice. I am still trying to recover from last week and I even started a little painting. I just don't know why life feels like constant work since I'm an adult?! Hahah
