It seems these days that every mom is looking for balance. I know exactly what balance is. It’s that thing that I pass as I swing from one extreme to another.
And there are tons of books out there about “balanced living” and especially “balanced living for moms.” I admit it. I’ve picked up a few (no, really, just a few!) here and there along the way, but I’ll be honest. None of them ever really got my attention and said “yes! this is the answer you’ve been looking for.”
So when I got the opportunity to review The Momnificent Life, I was skeptical. Most of the books I’ve read had the exact same premise: prioritize, slow down, take care of yourself and set boundaries. Practical? Yes. Motivational? Sometimes. Am I still doing it? No.
I found myself asking why. And while reading this book, I figured it out. The books I had been reading were primarily reactive. Feeling stressed? Calm down. Feeling tired? Live healthier. Ah, yes. Why didn’t I think of that?
I’m a positive blogger, so I prefer to be proactive rather than reactive. Yes, these processes and “tricks” will help me live a more peaceful life, but how can it impact others? Cue The Momnificent Life.
This book is all about being more positive (through a variety of self-awareness exercises and practical applications for daily life) and therefore make a great impact on the world around you. And it covers everything. Seriously. Everything. From financial issues and job satisfaction to dealing with past issues from your life and eliminating clutter from your physical, mental and emotional worlds.
It’s my blog in a book. I loved it.
If you’re looking for a book that will truly help you (and more than a self-help book that only looks at you and not the world around you), pick this one. Lori is a fantastic and engaging writer who really knows what it takes to live a full, healthy and non-crazed life.
