Happy pub day to Wake up Grateful!
This year it has been a bit more difficult for me to find gratitude in every day life. As an effort to be more grateful, I started writing gratitude lists when I journal. When I came across Kristi Nelson's “Wake up Grateful” on NetGalley, I knew I had to pick it up! Now, my ARC is in the form of an audiobook; I listened to this while mindlessly cleaning, winding down for the night or while going on walks. Listening to personal stories as well as tips & tricks on how to retrain your mind to go from “pity part” to “thank you” was beneficial as I did these tasks, reminding me to ever be grateful for not just the bigger things, but the little things in life as well. I loved that Nelson targeted every last bit of being in this book - she even touched on the body and gratitude as a component to better health and overall sense of well-being. I do wish I picked up the eARC copy as well, as this to me is a book I would have taken notes in. Overall, this one gets 4/5 stars from me!
Thank you to the author, Storey Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
