Welcome to Litsy!

I wasn‘t feeling great in January & this book popped up for me so thought I‘d give it a go - it did make me feel calmer & put things into perspective. The first half was journal entries which she wrote with humour and relatability. She writes about her struggles with equanimity, compassion for herself etc. The second half was small chapters on things like walking, friendships which was easy listening but I didn‘t take as much from.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. A lovely collection of essays that serve as a soft and kind reminder to us to be kind to yourself and to treat yourself with as much love and kindness as you would treat anyone else. A great reminder to be more mindful and take care of yourself before you can truly take care of others. ⭐⭐⭐#netgalley #brigidlowry #ayearoflovingkindness #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads

I am not quite sure what I was expecting, but in the end, I thought the collection of essays in this book were just okay. The main essay - from the title of this book - seemed the most impactful to me, with reminders of practicing loving kindness to oneself in different ways each month. A short listen, with some essays averaging a minute long. The narration was good. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audio copy!
