Amy Freeman caught my attention as I read her words 'be comfortable with doing less'. How is that possible when we live in a world that constantly pushes people to do more? Rest assured this book is not about changing your life to become lazy or uncaring. It is about bringing your life back into balance by making conscious decisions that will yield positive results.Amy will share with you a bit about stress and give you tools to work with that will help you to become aware of how you can change specific areas in your life consciously. Included are QR codes that bring you to YouTube for snippets from a presentation she'd given. There are also questions that help you reflect upon your own situations and pinpoint areas to work in.The entire read is full of great bits and ideas, but I especially enjoyed the "Let go of the Myth" section. "What we believe dictates the direction of our lives" but be reminded many things are not true. Know your own beliefs and follow your own personal truths fearlessly. I also enjoyed both the "Find Solutions Unique to You" and "Sometimes, Doing a Little is Okay." These sections resonated with me for where I am at right now.The one line that hit me and will help me to keep going on something that requires a lot of time is Amy's line "If I were in class, I would have to go anyway--or at least be present." Show up and stick with it and in time that goal will be achieved.As you work through this book, or in a specific area of the book, take notice of where you are right now and as you apply the tips and tools how things in your life are changing by just making a small change. By making that small change part of your routine it becomes natural feeling and encouraging to keep with this practice. Feel the difference, track the difference. Change is what is needed to lighten the load, but those changes can be tiny and still make a huge difference. Amy's suggestions will help you through this. Remember this "You are not alone."I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am interested in the seeing the full presentation that the YouTube video clips were taken from.Thank you,Annie
