You Are Positively Awesome

You Are Positively Awesome by Stacie Swift is an amazing work of self care wonder. Helping you to to put yourself first with words of wisdom, prompts and pages to fill in. This is perfect for anyone who needs a few minute to out the self first.

Whilst the formatting didn't quite translate to audiobook, I really enjoyed reading this book. Swift has the most gorgeous, bright illustrations and the most uplifting messages. I loved being able to complete tasks which made me more aware of ways to care for and appreciate myself.

This book is so needed in today's society, in the midst of a lock down and whilst people criticise themselves and compare themselves to others, Though it had a clear flow, you could easily dip in and out of this book as you needed.

Even though I've read it through already, I would 100% buy myself a copy to properly fill out the tasks and have a physical copy to turn to.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and Swift for providing a copy for review.

This is a really cute, positive, upbeat and encouraging book.

It doesn't translate fully into Kindle format given that, in print format, it would have little activity bits to fill in for you to look back on and give yourself a boost. I would definitely be interested in purchasing a physical copy to fill in!

The positivity is by the bucketful in this book and Stacie writes beautifully. It's so uplifting and I feel like it would be one of those books you'd gift to a friend for their birthday or Christmas. It focuses so much on feeling positive about yourself, remembering that you are loved, acknowledging that it's okay not to be okay and that people's lives that we see on social media aren't always sunshine and rainbows.

It's a reminder that self-care isn't selfish, take time for yourself, say "no" more and just be kind.

This is a cute little book that is a little pick-me-up when you need it. It has bright colourful illustrations that adds to the charm. Each page is it's own work of art.
There are examples of ways you can change your thought process, little reminders to remind you that you're not alone, and little sections you can fill out yourself. Although there will be a kindle version available, I'd recommend getting the printed version. You can either fill it out there or stick post-it notes over the bits, so you can fill it out again in the future.

I know that my kindle is only black and white, and although I read this on my kindle first, I downloaded the ARC of this onto my computer so I could comment on the illustrations and it's a whole different book. The colours are so bright and friendly. The illustrations are warming and cute. I think this is definitely a book that needs a physical copy.

I would love to see teens receiving this book as I feel like they could benefit from it a lot, although this would also be a great book for anyone of any age.
