Dr. Tamsin Astor has this to say about her book:
“This is a little tool book, giving you some key insights into the main self-care tools and habits that, if you work to put them into place, will make your life more pleasurable and will create freedom from that feeling that you’re never enough, that there’s never enough time in the day to do all the things you want and need to do!”
I couldn’t agree more. Plus, it’s a bonus that she writes in a quirky, fun tone that makes it enjoyable to read. I also am especially a fan of books based on research and Force of Habit, certainly is.
We all know how difficult it is to change our behavior and one of my favorite concepts in the book is to sandwich in a new behavior between two already ingrained habits. Like meditation, for example,…which after reading this book, you can’t ignore the positive benefits achieved by regular meditation…Tamsin suggests that we fit in meditation, if it’s not already a daily habit, between brushing our teeth and making our bed (assuming that those things are naturally done every day without giving them much thought). I started today, I’ll let you know how it goes.
I highly encourage you to read Tamsin’s book; it’s a wake-up call, with instructions for how to shift so that we can more fully live in our power. One final quote from Tamsin:
“What you do every day adds up to how you live your weeks, your months, your years –your entire life.”
