Home is You
This book had a tremendous impact on my life, specifically through a breakup, and I find myself returning to it repeatedly even though I have already read it multiple times.

Quieting Your Inner Critic
The importance of being mindful of oneself cannot be overstated. This practice of self-awareness is a cornerstone of personal growth and development. It allows us to delve into our thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, offering a clearer understanding of our behaviours and reactions. By being attuned to our emotions, we gain the ability to regulate them more effectively, reducing stress and promoting emotional intelligence. Mindfulness also empowers us to make wiser decisions, fostering self-compassion and self-acceptance. It encourages personal growth through introspection and self-reflection while enhancing our relationships with others through improved communication and empathy. Ultimately, being mindful of oneself is not just a tool for self-improvement but a gateway to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

It was like, "Oh, here comes that anxiety again, and I'm not quite sure why, but it's definitely overwhelming." There were days when a subtle undercurrent of anxiety would persist throughout the day, defying my attempts to make it go away.
