The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit by Mel Robbins
5.0
I have been following Mel Robbins on socials for quite some time, her quotes have always been a source of inspiration, picked this book up on a whim. I had started reading this at the end of June, but stopped due to a health scare - I felt the time was not right for some reason - weird right. Started it again July 31st and for some reason - it just felt right - I guess God was saying you need to read this now lol & also some equations in my headspace (Heartfulness Bhandara) had changed, as some of you know. Sharing this, because I truly felt ready to receive the message in the book which is inspiring me now to go in directions I never dreamed before.
This book is groundbreaking - I got blown away by every chapter - in every chapter, I discovered something about myself - got to find out what I really need to focus on - myself, not on things external to me - because only this I can control, not the latter. It is definitely not an instantaneous cure, but it is helping me to get to a place where I can actually start feeling good about myself. As some of you know, I have been cultivating some habits since May which have become a bane of my life now - now I am starting to see some fruits of that - and giving a high five to myself every day has given me an added boost like no other - smiling at myself is no longer cheesy but a natural thing to do every morning. I definitely want to keep this going - I have started High Five Journaling too - today was Day 1 and it felt good to root down.
All in all, a great book - I would recommend this to everyone. High Five! You deserve this!
