It’s the start of a new week. It’s Monday. It feels so good to begin a new week. I remember when I used to dread Mondays but I don’t anymore. They have a new meaning to me. It means that I have time. Time to meet new goals and achieve more things than I can imagine. I look forward to seeing what’s to come. It’s time for another Self Love Monday post. Feel free to share your accomplishments for the week as well. This Self Love Monday I am celebrating the fact that I am keeping my promise to myself to read again. So far since the beginning of the year I have read two books. I just started my 3rd book. I am currently reading Shonda Rhimes Year of Yes. I have been saying that I was going to get this book for over a year. I would see people either saying they read it or were reading it. So the day of my birthday The Husband and I stopped by this book store. I asked the cashier if they had the book. She told me they did and she had another employee help me find it. The book was on sale. I am still struggling with buying myself the things that I want. Before I purchase something I have this whole entire argument with myself on whether I should buy something or not. It goes a little something like this I want it but I don’t want it but do I need it. I went through this whole argument with myself. It was actually a debate between this book and another book. When I went to the counter and I told the cashier it was my birthday she actually gave me a discount just because and I no longer had to decide between two books. I got them both. So I started reading her book. So far I am thoroughly enjoying this book and I am learning so much. I will be doing a full review of this book. So definitely look out for it.
The book I most recently finished reading is called The Marriage Pact. I did a review of the book. I am truly beginning to find my love for books again. I forgot how happy the books made me. I am also challenging myself to read books that I normally wouldn’t read. Two years ago I never would have picked up a self-help book. I don’t know why but I just was never interested. Now I see how they can help, whether they are Stop drinking books and so tackle the struggles of overcoming alcoholism or books that may help you to cope with anxiety, there are many potential benefits to these books. Personally, I am just glad that I am keeping my promise to myself. I am usually horrible at this. So I am really proud that I’m keeping my promise. I am making time to enjoy a good book.
What did you accomplish last week? What are you proud of?
