Coffee Self-Talk: 5 Minutes a Day to Start Living Your Magical Life by Kristen Helmstetter

3.0

First things first, this book is DEFINITELY repetitive. Though I did read it all the way through, it's one that I would recommend using more as a resource. I don't believe you need to read the whole book to get the information out of it. Especially the scripts in the back, don't need to be read all the way through. You're not going to need every single script this book has to offer. But, there is probably something for everyone with how many scripts there are to offer. So, go over the ones you think are relevant to you and pick parts you like to add to your own self-talk.

There was information that I found useful, while other parts felt a little over-the-top. Maybe it's because I'm new to the self-affirmation and positivity space, but a lot of the scripts seemed like TOO much, and i could never see myself actually using them. However, there's plenty of parts that I highlighted and implemented into my own daily self-talk.

Now, the big positive takeaway from this book: I have started implementing coffee self-talk into my daily morning routine. I just started this, so I can't tell you if it “works” or not, but it does get me doing self-talk every day, which is something I've been wanting to do for a while.

Overall, this book is worth a read (or flip-through), but I'm not going to run out and grab my own copy of this one.
