Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView! 😍

1. I try to carry $20-40, just in case.
2. I think of wealth, I think of GATSBY. And yes, money is the downfall of it all. 💰

Play? @TheLudicReader @PageShifter @Deblovestoread

TheSpineView Agree with #2. People forgot that true wealth is not money but a state of mind. 1w

Now in November | Josephine Winslow Johnson

🩵 I've already read so many great books this year, but Now in November by Josephine Winslow Johnson is one that I still think about.
🩵 I haven't had to DNF a book yet! I did pause Somewhere Beyond the Sea because I've had trouble concentrating on audiobooks, but that was a me problem.

Sunrise on the Reaping: A Hunger Games Novel | Suzanne Collins

1. I‘m still thinking about the tagged book on a regular basis…
2. I‘m sad to say that I tried two Leigh Bardugo books and bailed on both. Maybe at another time…

Victory Over Verbal Abuse: A Healing Guide to Renewing Your Spirit and Reclaiming Your Life | Patricia Evans

#MentalHealthMonday check in

#1. I‘m feeling anxious & overwhelmed. There‘re lots I want to do & I don‘t know where to begin. I wish I had a personal assistant to help me stay on track. 😩
#2. It depends on the affirmation, but overall I‘m not a fan. I especially don‘t like ones about money and success. Positive thinking is helpful tool in many situations, but it won‘t make us rich or solve all our problems. ⬇️

DebinHawaii, CatLass007, CBee

Kerrbearlib I only use positive affirmations if they feel sincere and realistic. A part of me already has to believe them. I like some affirmations from this book. Example: “I am self-defining.” I believe this, but sometimes I forget & must remind myself.

2w

CatLass007 I haven‘t had much sleep in the last three or four weeks. But last night I slept 2.5 and 1.5 hours, the most I‘ve slept in that entire time. It‘s still not enough but I hope I‘m turning the corner. I‘m skeptical about positive affirmations. I don‘t believe that we can “manifest” money or a good job. But if I‘m working to build different habits, improving my posture, for example, then I find they can help. 2w

Kerrbearlib @CatLass007 that‘s great you were able to get more sleep. Every bit helps! I agree that we can‘t “manifest” money or good jobs. What things do you do to improve your posture? I‘m working to improve mine as well. (edited) 2w

CatLass007 I have a postit note at my computer and at other locations where I sit for extended periods with an affirmation that says “I have good posture.” It‘s a gentle reminder. 2w

Kerrbearlib @CatLass007 I love that - maybe I‘ll try it too! 2w

CatLass007 I tend to beat myself up so in a situation like this I definitely believe in positive affirmations. 2w

TheBookHippie If I was close I‘d come teach you all my organisational things 🙃 my daughter wants me to teach a class and write a book. 2w

Kerrbearlib @TheBookHippie let me know if you write that book - I will definitely read it! 😀 What are some of your favorite organizational things? 2w

TheBookHippie @Kerrbearlib in January I make menus for the entire year for supper only. IF I‘m feeling out of control or overly anxious - Everyday before bed I write in my todo list pad of what tomorrow looks like or needs doing and all day as I go about my life I write down what I did, end of day I compare the two lists. Every thing has a place. If it doesn‘t I make one for it- or put it in weekend chores as a problem to solve. Controlling what you can helps. 2w

TheBookHippie Sorry for Amazon link but this is what I‘ve used for years To Do List Notepad - To Do List Notebook for Work with 52 Sheets, Undated Daily Planner Perfect for Enhanced Productivity and Goal Achievement - Serene https://a.co/d/3uK0awj 2w

CatLass007 @TheBookHippie I use a free app on my phone, conveniently called To Do. It allows me to create separate lists and it allows me to divide tasks into subtasks. I can use it to set tasks for a specific day and tasks can be set repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or customized. Very handy. (edited) 1w

CatLass007 Also, when a task is completed, it can be checked and then crossed off. It also makes a very satisfying “ping” when I do this. Just call me one of Pavlov‘s dogs. 1w

TheBookHippie @CatLass007 Due to migraines I use phone little as possible 🙃 but it sounds wonderful. 1w

CatLass007 @TheBookHippie I get migraines too but my neurologist gives me Botox for prevention. But I still try to limit my phone use. 1w

TheBookHippie @CatLass007 No not like that. I have complex hemplic migraine syndrome. No pain. Auras and stroke like symptoms. I‘m glad Botox works for you. It‘s not an option for me. I have multiple medication allergies as well. (edited) 1w

CatLass007 @thebookhippie Oh no. Stroke like symptoms sound scary. I‘ve never had auras but I know someone who does. Her migraines always start with auras, which she liked the first time she had one. But when it moved on to pain she didn‘t like it all. She always has an aura before the pain which gives her advance warning so she can take her migraine med before the pain starts. She only gets about one a year though. I think I could live with that. (edited) 1w
