Day 161: Read a Self-Help Book

Today's Positivity activity: Read a self-help book (or find a video)

Do this instead of:  Random Facebook or YouTube surfing on my breaks at work

I've had reading challenges from time to time, but today's is geared strictly to learning something that will improve my day-to-day living. I'm going to be reading The Self Esteem Companion by Matthew McKay, Patrick Fanning, Carole Honeychurch, and Catharine Sutker. This was a book recommended to me by my therapist.

The Results: I sat for a while in my recliner with a scented candle reading quite a bit of this. There was some good advice about using meditation to heal and re-frame past issues, as well as addressing your inner critic.
