Review & Giveaway - Add More ~ing to Your Life {CLOSED}

Pin It
Lots of people are selling happiness these days as if it were a marketable commodity. But in her hip self-transformation book, Add More ~ing to Your Life, motivational speaker and life coach Gabrielle Bernstein truly shows you how to make happiness a way of life. Ms. Bernstein is bringing happy back.

Designed to bulldoze negative thought patterns and create personal change through positive affirmations, physical activity, and visualization meditations, Gabrielle guides the reader to happiness in 30 days through her dynamic ~ing, a proven method of sharpening one s intuitive senses and activating untapped inspirations.

Gabrielle will prepare you to change your life by accessing a state of flow, helping you connect with your ~ing, your inner guide, and readying you to release your limiting beliefs and to choose happiness.
I have never been one for self help books, never. I have always felt that one should be able to deal with their problems on their own, through their own mind. That's what I have always done. I have been through a lot in my life, and I have overcome almost everything by myself, within myself.

Then I opened up Add More ~ing to Your Life and started reading through the pages. I started to wonder to myself if what I had been doing through all of these years was the right thing. Yes, maybe I got over my depression, all alone without the help of doctors or medication. But you know what I realized within just a few short pages of her book? I realized that to this day, over 15 years later I still have resentment to those people in my life that should have been there. The family that should have cared enough to see me through the darkest days of my life, instead of turning a blind eye, or simply walking away. I realized that I still have hate in my heart that I had to go through so much alone.

I have always had that voice in my head, telling me what I should or shouldn't be doing. Sometimes I listen while other times I don't. This book taught me that I need to listen more. I need to let my feelings be known. I need to do something about all of these issues, otherwise I will never truly be happy.

This book is a great tool to point you in the right direction, even if you don't do everything. It just kind of woke me up, and I think it has potential to do that for a lot of people.

I want to win this book because I definitely need more ING in my life! My mother passed away when I was 17 and it's been hard transforming into a healthy adult without the guidance of a strong, healthy woman.
