Get What You Want Out of Life
This month’s read was another book that’s been on my “to read” list for quite a while. I purchased the paperback version of the book on vacation several years back. I started to read it then but didn’t finish the e-book version until this past month.I enjoyed reading the book and was surprised by the many actionable steps included in it. When I read a book on my Kindle, I use the app’s highlighting feature to highlight certain types of notes using the four available highlighting colors:• Yellow = general note• Orange = another person’s quote• Pink = external resource• Blue = actions I need to takeI had 18 Blue highlights in this book, so I have a lot of work to do to apply what I’ve learned.Some of the ways the author suggests you (and I) apply what you learn in the book include:1. Get rid of your bad habits by becoming aware of what you’re not happy about in your life, understanding the bad habits that create those things you’re not pleased with, and swapping out the bad habits for good ones.2. Breathe deeply, clear your mind, check in with your body, become present in the moment.3. Associate with people who are doing the things you want to be doing to get inspiration from them.4. Set honest goals that are just outside your comfort zone.5. Write down your goals and vision for your ideal life, read your goads just before bed and just after getting up.6. Pay for some coaching or mentoring to help you get to where you want to be quicker.7. Use your mind, body, and soul together to make your goals a reality.8. Figure out what actions make you feel invincible and do them.9. Love yourself.Some of my favorite quotes from the book included:• “You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life.”• “You’re going to have to let go of old, limiting beliefs and cling to your decision to create the life you desire like your life depends upon it.”• “If you want to live a life you’ve never lived, you’re going to have to do things you’ve never done.”• “…awareness is your key to freedom.”• “…faith being greater than your fear.”• “When we get so wrapped up in our heads, we miss out on what’s available to us right now in the moment.”• “…you create your reality.”• “Try seeing yourself through the eyes of someone who admires you.”• “Your job is to be as you as you can be.”As with any book, there are some areas that I’m not sure I agree with. Still, overall, I liked a lot of what I read and hope I’ll use the information as inspiration to move forward with creating the life I truly want, not the life I think is within social norms or what other people expect me to do.

Motivation is the key!
So I work and 9-5 job at a medical office and I absolutely love it, but is that my dream job? No it isn’t, I don’t think it’s anyone’s dream job, however it pays my bills and I enjoy what I do. My background is filled with a lot of art; I was a dancer pretty much all through high school and a little into college but of course leaned towards becoming a nursing student (currently enrolled) and I am loving every moment of it. I visited a longtime friend recently and we were talking about our endeavors and plans for our future and here I am feeling semi stuck, maybe because I don’t want to admit that I am extremely stuck. I was not sure if I was on the rite path. Well he introduced me to this book title “You are a Badass” by Jen Sincero and OH MY GOODNESS I fell in love with this book the minute I read the title! When I read it out loud I felt as if I have given myself something that I haven’t in a long time and that is self love, like actual self love. I told myself that I am a Badass! Which after reading this phenomenal book I come to realize more and more each day that I am a tremendous badass. Shortly after this great literature passed through my to do list I enrolled into yoga school (I try to practice at least twice a week and always wanted to become a teacher for like the past 5 years) well I finally did it and I start next month! This book talks about so many things from comparing your present life to your beautiful and possible future, but only you can make it happen. I know there are a lot of motivational books out there but the way the author speaks to you allows anyone to relate to her book. I finally have the courage to say to myself I’m going house shopping because I WILL BUY MY NEW HOME! (I hate renting). It’s because of this book that I found myself again and the reason why my little yoga studio with a café will be mine soon, at least sooner than later.If you’re trying to find yourself at a new age or simply just want a sense of motivation this is the go to book! It talks a lot about self motivation and believing in yourself and your dreams!

This book totally rocks!If you are looking for just a casual read, this is for you. It’s hilarious with lots of fun stories.If you are serious about changing your life, this is also for you. It will literally transform how you think and perceive reality if you stick with its principles. And the awesome life starts with your thoughts.

I love the book. It’s one of those you immediately get into at first read. Only thing that sucks is they delivered it next door. So I had to get it from my neighbor.
