I initially only read it because Christmas is on Big Brother this season, and at first I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. You're supposed to space this book out and read a chapter per day, as well as keep a journal with it, but I didn't have time to do so because the book is due back to the library tomorrow with multiple holds. It would be a neat way to see how far you progress in 30-days time however. Everyday you are supposed to write about daily mental, physical, and spiritual goals as well as a writing about whatever the topic of the day is. These topics include positive affirmations, decreasing clutter, eliminating excuses, being authentic, loving yourself, getting rid of stress, adjusting your attitude, and many more. This book is a fantastic read and really gave me some different perspectives on how to live right.

This is a book I will re-read. I like now having the habit in the morning to set my mental, physical, and spiritual goals.

For the most part, each chapter is a day (for 30 days). In this one day, a theme is introduced, and you are asked to set goals, record how you feel, etc., based on that theme. There is space to write directly into the book, but I think it would be more feasible to buy a separate journal, where there is more room to write your thoughts. Some chapters include quizzes to complete.The book is filled with tips and suggestions on how to overcome certain obstacles, like negative thoughts and fears. For me, this book didn’t really provide any new or different information that I haven’t already read in other books. To be fair, I did not complete the challenges, because, as mentioned above, I read this while doing cardio, so I just kept flipping pages until my cardio was complete.I did enjoy reading some of the personal parts of the book, i.e. her history and struggles, and how she got to where she is today.I would recommend this book to someone who enjoys journaling, or to someone who’s completely committed to a life overhaul. I just didn’t have the desire to put into it.

This was really quite a good, motivational book! I started listening to it and it turned out that by the end of the first chapter I had to buy a copy so I could utilize the journaling strategies. I learned lots of excellent tips from this book and really have made a lot of positive changes based off of it. But no way could this all happen in just 30 days! These are huge lifestyle changes and layering them on so quickly, before getting used to each one, is just a recipe for failure. This is much better as a whole week per each challenge or even longer if needed. I did a challenge a week and it was not stressful and still resulted in a lot of good, positive changes!

yikes i finished this a while ago and forgot to write about it or review it. therefore i don't remember a lot but i really liked it! it focused on fitness, organizing your life, and more and i think there were some great tips would def recommend

Doing all the tasks and reading within 1 month would be a tough challenge, because reading, the exercises and reflection would take 1-2 hours per day. It's very fitness focused too, which is not for everybody.

I found this book incredibly helpful. Now that I’m finished with the 30 days, I’m starting it over. It was great to have a short lesson each day and focused journaling to help you reflect and plan the day.

Lots of good ideas, and lots of positivity! Thanks Christmas Joy!

Awesome book! Truly enjoyed the book and very inspiring.

Review pending new blog set-up.I did take the full 30 days though because it recommends only doing one lesson per day.

Concrete suggestions on how to have the life you want and deserve. Very empowering!

Loved this book. Very empowering and written beautifully. So many aspects to great health here that I can work on. Great read. Great life program.
