Full disclosure， I did not work my way through this book。 I received a copy of The ABCs of Self Love as an eARC through NetGalley。 I only read through the book。 With that being said， I can safely say I love everything about this workbook。I am a 27 year old woman who is barely hanging on to the hot mess express: we are medicated and barely making it most days。 As you probably assumed， I have some experience with self help books。 A lot of these self love books feel very preachy or from sources tha Full disclosure， I did not work my way through this book。 I received a copy of The ABCs of Self Love as an eARC through NetGalley。 I only read through the book。 With that being said， I can safely say I love everything about this workbook。I am a 27 year old woman who is barely hanging on to the hot mess express: we are medicated and barely making it most days。 As you probably assumed， I have some experience with self help books。 A lot of these self love books feel very preachy or from sources that do not seem approachable。 This one feels very real and authentic， in my opinion。 Godfred makes you laugh and makes you cry as you look inward and it feels like she's holding your hand along with way because she's been there， and now she's helping you through it。 I also appreciate so psychological theories mentioned， so you can tell that she did in fact do her own homework。It was beautiful to look at， the set up of the pages was fun and unique， and it gave adequate space to actually work through the book。 Ya girl is long winded， especially when trying to express myself。 The doodles added enough levity and joy to the workbook， but did not take away from the overall message and theme。 I enjoyed reading through it so much， I am actually going to purchase a copy for myself to work through this year。 。。。more

a complete book， with space for you to reflect and make changes in your life。 The mix between journal and book allows the book to be more interactive。 This book is a good option to start the year making good changes or to use it as a challenge during the year， it is also a good joint reading with your group of friends who have as a New Year's resolution to raise their self-esteem and love each other more a complete book， with space for you to reflect and make changes in your life。 The mix between journal and book allows the book to be more interactive。 This book is a good option to start the year making good changes or to use it as a challenge during the year， it is also a good joint reading with your group of friends who have as a New Year's resolution to raise their self-esteem and love each other more 。。。more

What a way to end this year。 I was super excited to read this book as I loved her last book， "Self Love Poetry"。 This book is much more interactive and really encourages you to really think about how you think and if you naturally lean more towards more positive or negative thinking first。 The book talks about all aspects of self love including cutting out negative people and influences from your life， how to amend your thinking so that you're kinder to yourself， the dangers of comparing your li What a way to end this year。 I was super excited to read this book as I loved her last book， "Self Love Poetry"。 This book is much more interactive and really encourages you to really think about how you think and if you naturally lean more towards more positive or negative thinking first。 The book talks about all aspects of self love including cutting out negative people and influences from your life， how to amend your thinking so that you're kinder to yourself， the dangers of comparing your life to social media， and challenges you to be honest and to really dig deep。 Each letter of the alphabet focuses on a different area and the one that resonated with me the most was R - rest。 I have a stressful job with long hours and rest is something that's really important for me。 I try to enjoy my life outside of work as much as possible， but sometimes it's hard as there's always other responsibilities that pile up， pushing much needed rest to the side。 This is something I really want to work on。 Although I did enjoy the digital version of this book， I really want to get a physical copy of the book as well to try out the challenges。 You could easily do them in a separate notebook， but there's so much space and so many templates already in the book that I feel to get the most out of it， getting a physical copy would be more beneficial。 I would also have loved to have seen more poetry just sprinkled throughout the book。 Just because I enjoyed her poetry so much in her last book。 😊Overall， this was a great book to reset with at the end of the year。 I'm already looking forward to seeing what else Melody Godfred brings to us in the future。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。 。。。more

I thought this book was great， useful in that I loved that it prompted you to write your own thoughts and feelings down。 Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review。

There are a lot of self-care， self-love and all sorts of books that are supposed to tell you and help you make your life better and this book is honestly one of the best versions of that type of book that I have come across in a long time。 The author herself states that this book can be completed in whatever way the read wants to do it。 There are some sections that make mention of other parts but nothing that would stop the reader from completing the prompts。 That means that the reader can do th There are a lot of self-care， self-love and all sorts of books that are supposed to tell you and help you make your life better and this book is honestly one of the best versions of that type of book that I have come across in a long time。 The author herself states that this book can be completed in whatever way the read wants to do it。 There are some sections that make mention of other parts but nothing that would stop the reader from completing the prompts。 That means that the reader can do this book starting from page one or they can open the book each day to a random page and do it like that or they can even decide to do the book from Z to A in complete reverse order。 This book is set up so that the reader can do whatever they want to complete the book and feel accomplished。 There is not much to be said about this book that can be said beyond that this is a fabulous gift from anybody， especially yourself。 This book will be released in January of 2022 。。。more

This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life。 This is so necessary for everyone to read in life。 Highly recommend。 Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。

Self-love is one of my priorities this year （and for many years to come！） and I’m really enjoying this beautiful， colorful book filled with many reminders of ways that I can shower myself with kindness， compassion， and love。 I especially appreciate that there are lots of pages for me to write， and draw， and follow through on the suggestions that the author gives。 Also loved the Emotions Wheel and the playlist idea， to name a few。 This will make an excellent gift for loved ones who need these rem Self-love is one of my priorities this year （and for many years to come！） and I’m really enjoying this beautiful， colorful book filled with many reminders of ways that I can shower myself with kindness， compassion， and love。 I especially appreciate that there are lots of pages for me to write， and draw， and follow through on the suggestions that the author gives。 Also loved the Emotions Wheel and the playlist idea， to name a few。 This will make an excellent gift for loved ones who need these reminders as well Thanks to NetGalley， the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more
