Motivating Mum

Giveaway Monday – Book review

Starting a new business is like trying to surf a tidal wave with many ups and downs seeming more extreme than those of first time parenthood. So, when the book ‘Extraordinary You: the art of living a lusciously spirited, vibrant life’ arrived to me I honestly wondered what on earth such a new age sounding book could possibly help me with during this busy, exhausting and overwhelming time of juggling business, existing job and family life.

It turns out though, the eleven stories of women who’s circumstances range from life altering accidents, illness or who just felt their lives weren’t quite ‘right’, has given me plenty of food for thought and some very practical advice about embracing the changes and opportunities that present themselves. These stories have also shown me that viewing life’s challenges as opportunities in themselves, will ultimately lead to living a life of fulfilment, health and happiness.

The common theme amongst all these stories is that of listening to the little voice inside you or your gut instinct and then taking action based on this. As each of the very different authors tells in their own stories, living life this way means learning to trust that instinct and investing in yourself to enable action and change.

Whether that investment is in professional development, to become healthier or learning just to trust your own thoughts and feelings rather than those we think we ‘should’ as dictated to us by the world, doing so will lead you towards your own version of an extraordinary life where you to feel empowered rather than weighed down by circumstances or stuck in situations beyond your control.

Thank you Alli for sending me this book and reminding me to listen to my own instinct at a time when I feel life challenging it and me. I know now and after completing some of the useful, free downloads from the book that it will ultimately lead me and my new business to success!
