Cute book which gets you to stretch yourself every day. Some experiments are quick and easy and others take time. Highly recommend it.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

At the moment I will only give a rating to the book and I hope it is possible for me to write down my reviews on Amazon. Barnes and Noble and Goodreads. I am very grateful to you because your publications are great, especially in the topics that interest me most. Thanks and blessings.

Sadly, I DNF'd this book.

I feel that it would be an amazing self-help book for someone who is, perhaps, not a self-help advocate like me. I have read so many self-help and happiness books - which is why I requested this one - and I just felt like this one didn't quite match up to my expectations.

I was really hoping that it'd give me some practical, awesome tips - unlike "make a mandala", which I believe is day 7 of this 30 day challenge.

I think that this would be a great book for someone who is struggling, particularly someone who is perhaps older than myself (as some of these I was really rolling my eyes at). DNF'd, but I could see some people enjoying it.

This is a cute little book to help be positive and help others be positive too. You should buy the actual book instead of the Kindle because there are times to doodle and jot down some things also.. Cute gift to uplift someone.

The “tasks”/ challenges in the book are positive, encouraging and creative. It contains many of the things popular self-help books dish out: gratitude, affirmation, taking a digital hiatus, but Find Your Awesome does it in creative, interactive ways. Design a T-shirt to tell the world (and yourself!) some truths about you, list your super-powers, commit random acts of beauty. I love the idea of making a Not-to-do list.

The bright colorful drawings are charming. My only gripe is that they are so clearly oriented towards female readers. While women probably buy most self-help/ journal books, making it appealing to both genders could encourage men to participate in the projects. It could be a fun couples or small group activity.

I like that the book does not have too much writing. The author gets to the point without complex data or endless repetition. Clement Wall concludes, “choosing love is an act of courage, and choosing to love yourself may be the most courageous act of all…There is no better gift you can give to the world than to bring into each day your best, most confident, most fully realized self – the person you become when you shower yourself with love.“

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for granting access to an arc of this book for an honest review.

Imaginative self awareness book

Judy Clement Wall did a great job with this instructive journal.
More than a self-help book, it is a rather light hearted way to see yourself and the world. I loved the graphics. I read this in ebook form and definately needed another notebook for some of the activities. One of the things I liked is that you could move around the days, the activities did not have to be done daily or in order.

I received an Advance Reader copy of this book.

This was a neat book to read about a subject that few people want to talk about. The illustrations seem a little juvenile, but some made me laugh out loud (like imagining my impending marriage to a hamster). I could have really used this book as a teenager with little self-confidence, and it probably would have made an impact on me. A lot of the exercises are silly, like designing a shirt, and others more serious (making a life long dream list, or a self-portrait).
I would suggest this book for teens and adults to reflect on their own self-worth. The book itself probably isn't directly for children, but some of the tasks can be adapted for children, or for parents working through it to share with their kids. You can work through this at your own pace and there are few limits placed on this as a tool for self-discovery.

Thank you Netgalley for a free copy of this awesome book in exchange for an honest review!

Take a break! Consciously, deliciously, take a break today and fill it however you want to.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It is a mix of Arts, journal, collection of thoughts and quotes, drawings and tips to do a 30-day-challenge by yourself with yourself.

It is totally the kind of book I love. I even have a collection of journals like this one and I will see if I can find a paperback to buy as a gift for myself!

PS: Review from an introverted woman who loves spending some quiet time by herself.

I like how it's a challenge but in a fun way. I also like how there are activities where you draw stuff and color them which are so cute!

I like the idea of designing a book cover for my life story because according to the author, my life story is the one I'm writing every single day, from scratch, armed with nothing but my wits and big curious heart. She tells you to "Own it. Love it fiercely. And don't let anyone else try to write it for you. Oftentimes, we let others dictate our lives without realizing it."

Doing this activity made me realize and itconstantly reminds me that I am the boss of my life and the author of my own life.

It is a 30-day challenge and it won't take much of your time in a day. All you need to do is carve out a few minutes each day to fully engage with yourself; reflect, and unwind.

We all need a little help loving ourselves sometimes! And that's okay! This 30 Day Challenge journal is the perfect way to remind readers to care for yourself as well as others!
Some of my favorite challenges in this book are:
Celebrate Your Body
List 10 People You're Grateful For
Make a Songs-to-Belt List
Make a Not-to-Do List
and
Decide What Matters

As a mom, I give a lot of my "caring" energy to my kids and my husband. This is a great way to step back and remind myself that I am just as deserving of my love and care as they are!

I decided to try and find my awesome by following the 30 day challenge. I must admit I didn't always exactly do every one of the daily challenges and sometimes I did more than 1 in a day. I can't say that it completely changed my life but there were a few good tips which I want to try and keep up with, such a being unexpected. I also really enjoyed making my own t-shirt designs.

As a beginner journal-er (well, beginner after YEARS), I found this book very enlightening. Especially since I a tend to be a bit of a pessimist. It's been an excellent read through and given me lots of ideas which I also plan to share with my oldest teen. I see myself going back to this book often and I am very glad I was given the chance to review it. Thank you.

Though I didn't follow this book over thirty days, I enjoyed reading it and hope these lessons will stick with me.

I enjoyed this book. The challenges are easy to do and can be done in the 30 days or as a standalone challenge. One could need a "boost", simply pick up the book, select a page and run with it.

The artwork was simple, yet true to the nature of the book. This is the type of book that is better suited to an actual bòok, however my copy is an ebook and it was still easy to follow, with the help of a paper journal.

This review is based on a free copy received from Netgallery.com and is an honest review.

A hard copy of this book would be a better choice rather than e-book format. Comments, ideas, etc. would be better suited if written on each page.

It's undeniably true that most people are their own worst critics. We would generally never dream of being as critical or negative to other people as we casually are to ourselves. I've never had much luck with the whole 'look in the mirror and tell yourself you're great'! (I felt like a complete goofball). Anyhow, this book has a much more thought out and structured method for internalizing positivity and being kind and loving to ourselves (and those around us).
Set up as a personal journal/activity book, this 30 day challenge is full of sweet and brave daily challenges to increase your ability to care for and cherish yourself. Some of the exercises are profound, some are a little bit goofy, they're all positive and uplifting and do-able. The daily challenges have checklists with spaces for notes and lists to be filled in by the reader.
One of the first 'rules' is that 'there are no rules'. Life is a journey and not just a set of criteria to be gotten through.

The art is wonderful. Much of the book reminds me a lot of the currently popular 'adult coloring books'. The daily challenges have author-written examples to get the reader's creativity primed. (As an aside, I think it's incredibly sweet and brave of the author to bare her own feelings and meanings - there's a lot of vulnerability and trust involved to put these things out there).

Really good advice and an easy to digest format. We all need more hope and love in our lives.

Personal experience. I started this challenge the first day I received this book. Starting on day 2, I started getting comments and compliments about what a good mood I was in, and how happy I seemed. I have often gotten comments about how nice/upbeat/positive I am in general, so it really surprised me to get so many comments from people who are used to my normal level of 'goofy/happy'. I'm still getting comments (on day 4 now).

I’ve been reading a lot of self-improvement and self-help books lately. I must say this one had such a funny and quirky take on self love and self care. I love that the author took a whole year to do this type of thing.
It is set up with 30 prompt meant to be done daily for a month, but I love that you can do them at your own pace. The descriptions for each prompt were excellent. I feel like all 30 prompts were easy to do and really will up your mood for the day.
I will definitely be buy a copy of this book/journal for my friends and family. I think this is something everyone can enjoy, whether you are going through a tough time or not. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to get a finished copy for myself.

I like the idea behind this book. I feel it could help out a lot of people. The illustrations are cute, it's not too over "feely."

Any book with illustrations is a big yes from me. What I enjoyed about Judy's book is the way she gives practical steps to show how you can motivate yourself.

It is definitely a self help book but with the colours and illustrations, it feels like a self help adventure you can undertake in 30 days to reveal a new you.

Although it is to be read as a daily devotional/ challenge, I read it in one sitting and was surprised at how 'gingered' I was to doodle and write things about myself (especially the self love mantra that she suggests).

This book will leave you smiling.

Rating: 3/5

Favourite Quote: "Because it's a form of self-expression, I believe that every act of creation is also an act of self love."

This came up for review just as I had bought a traveler's journal to do art in. So I figured why not? If nothing else a few of the prompts could be useful.

Luckily for me, the first rule of this challenge is that there are no rules. Good thing as figuring out how to do the burning while living in an apartment wasn't a fund prospect (I listened to the no rules, rule and did a shredding instead) -- same concept, less of a chance of setting off smoke detectors.

This is a useful book and I do like it. No part of the challenge is so terrifying that you couldn't do it. Whether you want to stay within your comfort zone or push yourself beyond it, there are ways you could accomplish the challenges.

That said, I have mixed feelings about whether or not I'd suggest this book to people (yes even as I gave it 4 stars). The thing is that these challenges are all prompts you could easily find online. The author's experiences and encouragement may be worth it to some. It may also be worth it to those who simply prefer the good old-fashioned way of doing things. Or to those who just like having these kinds of things in their hot little hands, away from the computer. If that's you, then this book is awesome. If you don't mind sitting at the computer searching for prompts on your own, you may find that this book doesn't add much to your journal / self-help journey.
