One Year Wiser: An Illustrated Guide to Mindfulness by Mike Medaglia
3.0
Overview:
This book goes through why being mindful is important and the benefits that it has on ones life.
Using the four seasons (Which explains the title of this book) for each chapter/part, this book shows you how being mindful can uplift you. This book includes practices and beautiful illustrations.
Thoughts:
Before I read this book I put on some nature music and it was lovely to read with.
This book was very cute and I really loved the illustrations, it added to the book in a positive way.
Every page looked really cool and in a weird way the book felt good to read. Like I was being in the moment well reading this book.
I enjoyed how this book used the four seasons and each season went through different topics to talk about. Like Ego, Anxiety.
I liked the lessons and practices that this book was teaching. Such as, being grateful for the little things in life. Which we tend to forget to do.
It is funny because I remember when I was younger I thought Meditation was weird. And I couldn't see myself doing it. But growing older I now see Meditation in a new light and think quite highly of it.
Our mind is always racing and its nice to just sit and calm your mind and check in with yourself.
I liked how the author was understand of how hard Meditation can be and even reminded the person reading the book not to be to strict. And even said "If you miss a few days [of meditation], just keep going from where you left off." And I liked that. Because I do that.
Overall I liked this book! :D
