I’m not enough.

I don’t belong.

I feel overwhelmed.

I had better be perfect.

I’m supposed to be farther along.

Any of these sounds familiar?

 

It’s not often that I come across a book that I want to read beginning to end and back again. You know… the kind you can’t put down. I just finished one of those books.

Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves:
Ditch Your Inner Critic and Wake Up Your Inner Superstar

Written by: Amy Ahlers

Just Released this week!!

I feel privileged to have received an advanced copy and even more excited to share the book review with you! I gave you a sneak peek last week with “I feel overwhelmed” which is lie #21 in Amy’s book.

The book includes 59 lies we tell ourselves. The lies that come from that inner voice telling us the negative and holding us back in various areas of life. Each “lie” is exposed through Amy’s Truth, followed by a Challenge for the reader and last, an Affirmation.

The book includes sections on self-worth, self-care, success, money, love and relationships, being authentic and spirit.

The exercises provided will help turn that The Inner Critic/Your Inner Mean Girl (we all have) into the Inner Wisdom that is there within each of us. The wisdom that will support and guide, not diminish and demean.

Written as if your best friend is talking you through a rough patch, Amy has a way of laying out those “lies” in a new light. It’s fun, light-hearted yet delivers an important message that we need to not be so hard on ourselves.

We are so used to putting down what we do, how we do it or even what we look like– all from that little voice in our mind. It’s time to grab hold of the Inner Critic, that Inner Mean Girl and embrace the Inner Wisdom each and every one of us has just waiting to come out. It’s given me a whole new perspective on how I acknowledge who I am and what I am doing.

You can read it cover to cover or simply pick out the sections that call out to you.  It’s an excellent resource to keep for future reference. Take the time for a ”check-in” every couple of months or when you need a refresher… I know I will!

I don’t want to give too much more away about the book, but you can CLICK HERE to learn more!

Thanks Amy! And as you noted in the book to all women, “You are a superstar shining bright!”
