Hello,

Today, I’m reviewing the Atomic Habits book by James Clear. I’ll briefly review what are habits, how habits matter in choosing happy for living our life and, I’ll also share my key takeaways from reading the book. I hope this episode will motivate you to start improving those negative habits that are in your life.

Cheers,

Marie

👉 TODAY’S QUOTE: “All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us. And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.” (James Clear)

Hello,

Are you looking for an inspirational book – either for yourself or as a gift (maybe a graduation gift)? I’m sharing with you one of my personal favorite books that I own and have given to both of my kids upon their high school graduation. The Alchemist is a story about following our dreams. The concept of “personal legend” has stayed with me since being introduced to the book several years ago. And, it guides me in living a happy life. I hope this book review will inspire you to pick up the book the next time you’re looking for an inspirational book.

Cheers,

Marie

Hello,

A few weeks ago, I was re-watching the Queen movie on Netflix. And there was a quote said by Freddie Mercury that has stayed with me: “Good thoughts, good words, good deeds. Just like you taught me, papa.” When we have negative thoughts, we are already setting us up for negativity. Thoughts turn into words and then they turn into our actions – how we choose to live our life. In today’s show, I’m sharing with you 10 examples of negative self-talk that I have said myself or, that I’ve heard others say – including our listeners (those that have shared with me). I hope by bringing these words into the open and giving some reflection from a positive perspective can be helpful to you in case you are using these words in your life.

Cheers,

Marie
