Every so often I read a book that changes my life. It doesn’t happen often, and the last time it happened, I shared with you how Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert was changing the way I worked. That was last year, and now we’re on to 2018. This year has to be bigger, better, and braver than before. I personally think this is the year of looking after yourself. Anything negative from 2017 is over, it’s time to draw a line under it and make this the best year ever!
With that in mind, here’s a reading list that will fill your life with positivity and keep you in a go-getter mood!
1. Make Things Happen 2018

2. The Four Pillar Plan
The 4 Pillar Plan available here
When you’re trying to change your life, it’s easy to just try to change one area of it. For example, we say “This year, I’m going to get fit,” and ignore everything else. This book has already started to change my life because it focuses on the four pillars of life and how to balance them properly. For example, you can’t expect to get fit if you’re not sleeping enough or taking breaks from your phone.
This book is full of information on stress, well-being and why we need to simplify our lives, plus a few helpful exercises that will hold you accountable and help you find that perfect balance. I’m only a few pages in but it’s really helping me to stop overthinking everything and get the balance back in my life. Buy it here.
