While I'm not sure I am the ideal reader of this book, there are some great tips on calming down, creating a more peaceful mind, and lessening stress altogether.
Michelle Evans has put together 12 little baby steps that will help you declutter your mind which can result in more joy and calm in your everyday life. She walks you through clearing your mind by avoiding stores, that being selfish in having a clear mind will help others around you, and how to do less and achieve more in the process.
Evans shares the 12 steps, in 3 categories, that she has implemented in her own life to help rid herself of the mental clutter that can rob us from calm and joy in this busy world. This is a quick read that allows the reader to see just how Evans has decluttered her mind and allows the reader to try out any of the steps that might benefit them.
The focus on the mind, and not your eating habits or whatever, was nice to see in a book like this. We all know that food and exercise have an impact on our minds, but hardly anyone talks about the smaller steps that we can take in order to clear out the mind while we work on the eating and physical habits.
I really appreciated Evan's breakdown of FoMo. The Fear of Missing Out seems to be a real thing these days - and I would agree with her, that it stems from the use of social media. We want to be part of everything and then stress out over everything, and the cycle results in a crazy mind. So her step on FoMo was fun.
It was also interesting that she points out that there are times we need to stop over thinking and just do. In fact, she says there are times when we should probably just not think period. Make a decision and then act on it, follow through without analyzing it forever. And that is probably really good advice for some things.
For more of my thoughts, what I didn't like so much and who I feel the audience best for this book is stop by Reading List for my full review.
