Even without a pandemic, life can throw all sorts at us and it can be easy for everything to build up and feel overwhelming.
To
kick off December I decided to take stock and bring some much needed
balance to my life with ‘A Toolkit for Modern Life’ by clinical
psychologist @thepsychologymum - a self help guide which acts as a practical toolkit for taking care of your mental and emotional wellbeing.
Wow
- what a gem of a book, I absolutely loved this and couldn’t recommend
it highly enough. It’s split into comprehensive and easy to navigate
sections so that you can read the whole thing from start to finish as I
did, or you can easily delve into the sections which resonate with you
at any given time.
I loved working through this book,
particularly the sections on value and establishing what made me feel
most fulfilled and at my happiest, so I can prioritise this going
forward.
I also really loved the section on capacity and the
practical tips for scaling back when I needed to, so that I don’t end up
feeling exhausted, stressed out and ready to Kim K cry over the most
minor of events.
The exercises throughout the book were
fantastic for allowing me to establish any areas out of balance and how I
can work on this moving forward. There are so many brilliant sections,
from dealing with anxiety and recognising your emotions, working through
comparison, social media and goals and failure, all with easy to
implement practical advice.
The book is also absolutely gorgeous
with lots of her infamous illustrations which are super fun, making it
perfect as a gift for a loved one or for yourself for a little TLC.
I highly recommend this book - it’s definitely one I will be revisiting again and again.
