Status Updates From How to Do the Work: Recogni...

In love

Really love this book but i need to find more time to read more mindfully. And make notes. Might just buy the physical book to write on it.

Cold Sunday🌨️❄️

"the reality is this: few of us have any real connections to who we really are..."

Such a great book

Enjoying it!

My wise inner parent asks myself: “What can I do for myself in this moment?”

Boundaries: Know your absolute limits, using them as no-compromise areas for yourself. “You may also find it helpful to shift your internal expectation that others change more completely and become more flexible in response to their limitations, abilities, and level of consciousness..When we understand other people’s limitations, when we see pain and fear where we once saw cruelty, this is healing..”

DISCLAIMER: Audiobook (lol)

Ah.. so that’s where that comes from..and I can work on it.

I’m learning a lot about myself, my past and how it affects my present, and quite literally how to do the work, as promised by the title.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to choose new responses to my daily life.”

I’ll save my thoughts for when I’m completely done.

um yeah this book was not it. had to stop reading... the author seems a little out of touch

"when we don't ask how we can contribute to our own wellness, we become helpless and dependent."

There are some really good takeaways in this book. However, I’m also finding a lot of things really questionable.

Really could’ve done without the intermittent fasting suggestion. Not okay.

This 👏 book 👏 is 👏 amazing 👏
It resonates and adds so much to things I'm learning about myself and others. A deep dive... Had to take a break here.

I’m really enjoying this. It’s putting a lot of things into perspective for me. Excited to keep reading.

I am chronicling my page progress in a pathetic attempt to make me read more and encourage me that I am making progress with a book I’m not particularly vibing off!

There is so so much in this book. It has far and away exceeded my expectations. Every chapter has something interesting to say and has a way of speaking personally to the reader's life experiences, no matter who you are. I already know I am going to have to read through this one again.

Really great! Very interesting information and helpful.

I think this is going to be my favorite psychology book thus far.

Loving the aspect to bringing yourself back to present while also future journaling.

So far this feels like Eat Pray Love the Therapy Version on steroids. A lot of mixed feelings so far

Taking more time to read: highlighting points I find valuable, reflecting and preparing for journaling. Only 1 chapter in so far, but very excited to see where this one allows me to take myself.

I’m listening to this as an audiobook and reading along on my kindle.

“Because of these instinctually driven reactions, when we try to change our habits many of us remain trapped in cycles of disempowerment. Instead of understanding that this comes from an evolutionary honed body response, we tend to shame ourselves. This shame is a misreading if our physiology.”
