“You Are What You Read” 

              -Me, just now.

The Body Keeps the Score, By Bessel van der Koch

In The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, Bessel van der Kolk, MD, explores the ways in which trauma rewires the brain and changes the way people experience the world. Trauma affects the mind and body immensely and prevents those affected from living in the present.

The F*ck It Diet, By Caroline Dooner

Irreverent and empowering, The F*ck It Diet is a call to arms for anyone who feels guilt or pain over food, weight, or their body. It's time to give up the shame and start thriving.

The Heart of Yoga, By D.K.V Desikachar

A pragmatic, down-to-earth, and open-minded approach to the tradition of yoga.

When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress Disease Connection, By Gabor Maté, M.D

Can a person literally die of loneliness? Is there such a thing as a ""cancer personality""? Drawing on scientific research and the author's decades of experience as a practicing physician, this book provides answers to these and other important questions about the effect of the mind-body link on illness and health and the role that stress and one's individual emotional makeup play in an array of common diseases.

We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, By Samantha Irby

Sometimes stress doesn’t have to be mitigated with organic squash and meditation. 

[capmerica93]

I’ve never read truer words.

That intimate moment between you and the book you have just read the last words of, where you sit there taking in the enormity of what you have just finished.

Catch your breath!

The past two months have been stressful and exhausting. We have so many roles in life that we need to take into consideration, I’m supposed to be a teacher, a full time student, a part time worker, an older sister, a daughter, a friend, etc. Sometimes the roles collide with one another, which can cause stress. The past few weeks I’ve been working as a teacher (not getting paid as it is a part of my study), which means I’ve also had to work my part time job, at the same time that I’m supposed to prepare for my exams and write my exam essays, be a good friend etc. It came to a point where I just didn’t have any more to give. There was no energy left and I got sick. I literally told my friend “I barely have time to catch my breath, let alone sleep and eat”. This made me think of a Norwegian idiom “pust i bakken”, which basically means “take a moment to catch your breath while walking uphill”. It made me think. Why not make the time? If i really needed it, which I clearly did. 

Taking breaks, as needed, made everything better in the long run and it made me perform better in all my roles. Overexertion got me nowhere but to a dark place. But I have most definitely learned. Read a book for fun, watch a show on Netflix, go for a walk in the park, simply log off internet for a few hours and do some yoga, do whatever makes you relaxed and happy! Because remember, it’s okey to take a break when you need it. :)

Have a good day!

A warm, funny, and thoughtful exploration of the shifting definitions of family and love for your snowy reading pleasure tonight: Rose Woodrowe is getting married to Tyler Masson—a wonderful, sensitive man who is head-over-heels in love with her. The only problem? This isn't the first time for either of them. And when you marry later in life there are a lot more people to consider. Like Rose's daughter, Laura, who remembers her mom's first marriage and doesn't want her to get hurt again. Or the twins, Emmy and Nat, who are used to their mom being there for them whenever and for whatever they need. And then there's Tyler's children: Mallory, a young actress who craves her father's attention; and Seth, whose San Francisco bakery is just taking off and needs all the money he can get. Rose and Tyler are determined to get it right this time, but in trying to make everyone happy, can they ever be happy themselves? Bestselling author #joannatrollope is at it again! Best enjoyed with a bottle of 🍷 and 🍿 “With her compassion for her characters, Trollope cuts to the quick of family life, and the difference between men and women” — @womanandhome . . . . . . . . #currentlyreading #currentmood #tuesdate #romcom #chicklit #readingforpleasure #secondmarriage #secondchances #familydrama #anunsuitablematch #fiction #fictionaddiction #igreads #readforfun #bookstagram #booksinbed #readbeforesleep #date #librarylove #contemporaryromance #romance #ipgtopshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/Btzc9S4ntwX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1obx1gp77luu0

The book “The Checklist Manifesto - how to get things right” by Atul Gawande

Have a checklist to reduce complexity in what you do. Make the index a routine when doing a specific task (putting the work in now to create the list will lower the risk of missing something or failure). Make it precise, efficient, easy to use, essential things bulleted and practical.

The way we look at it is that if a person is not here for some time can someone come in and know what each step to do in each given task... The answer is no, but with this new knowledge, we will start building a checklist to follow, from sales to marketing to accounts to content.

But you can also use this for your personal life. Create a checklist to build a routine that changes your thought and feeling from the start to the end of your day.

Routines turn into habits. These habits can change your mood, emotions, and actions, make you start in the present day and are in the right frame of mind.

To build a checklist to use that incorporates time for each specific task from:

waking up - what routine can you use to enhance the morning routine (meditation, drinking water, cold shower, journaling etc.) to specific actions within the day to night time routine to relax, unwind and sleep better (meditation, blue light, journalling, no stimulants etc.)

4/5 This is a slow burn, that has “We Need to Talk about Kevin” vibes. Deeply emotional, and dangerously painful, this novel will kick you in the gut and leave you breathless. #parabellum #greghickey #thriller #novel #crimethriller #triggerwaring #weneedtotalkaboutkevin #novel #kindleunlimited #readersofinstagram #readforfun #availablenow #kkecreads #katyapproved https://www.instagram.com/p/CY5cOMdreFp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fairytale retellings really are some of my favorite reads. Which are you favorite fairytales? It feels like forever since I last visited Disney property, and I miss it. Usually we go for a movie or lunch or even just to walk around, but with COVID, we haven’t had a chance to do that. In the meantime, I’m going to have to resort to the fairytale life of my books. Which actually isn’t so bad, is it? * * * #booknerd #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookish #bibliophile #yareads #fairytale #fairytalebooks #reading #readforfun #readtoescape #booklife #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readingtime #readersofig #yafantasy #yawritersofinstagram #yafantasybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHEsPWARwO/?igshid=1tncl5d0quhlx
