Week 20 | Must Read Books: A Curated Summer Reading List to Dive Into
--Audio Guide--
In great curiosity, sadness and mostly frustration that I was starting down a path of living a life unfulfilled, I began my walk into wellness at the turn of the year. Wellness includes more than just fitness and what you eat, it also includes actively and awakenly paying mindful attention to who you surround yourself with (community), how you choose to love and be loved (relationships), how you calm, humble and quiet your mind (spirituality), where you choose to live, how you choose to live (mindfulness) and so on.
Wellness is a diverse, all encompassing thing. I am learning about different aspects of it every single day and allow myself to remain open minded to new opinions, especially when they are science based and tested. Since the first week of January and all throughout 2018, I have decided to share what I am learning with you along the way. I would appreciate any feedback you may have on what I write and what you would like me to cover in the future.
Especially if you don't know where to start with this whole wellness thing, this week I am sharing with you literature I have read, been recommended and heard about all within this aforementioned scope of wellness - the below is kind of like a foundation layer that will hopefully help you become more enlightened and elevated in mind.
