Nice book, full of good wisdom. Lots of good advice. I enjoy the premise that we are all awesome! The author did a good job being uplifting.

I actually read this book before but was trying to do one challenge a day and didn't quite finish it. I recently picked this book back up and just read through it. As a creative person, I LOVE this book!! Even if you do not consider yourself creative, there are challenges that you can do. None of the challenges are so difficult that they require special skills. The challenges really help you grow as a person and learn more about yourself. I think my favorite part was writing a mantra of self-love to read every morning. Thank you to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this.

I loved this book - and wanted more! I ended up buying my own copy because I wanted something I could keep going back to when I needed a refresher. The creativity and "play" was a great stress reliever and made me start to think and approach things differently.

The idea of this book is great, even though the actual challenges felt a little repetitive. Could be a great book for teenagers!

Loved this...a very sweet book that made me smile. The type of book I’d buy for a friend who is perhaps recovering from a hard time and just needs a reminder that she is awesome.
A bit of fun, a few minutes daily focus. Part self help book, part work book with doodling and colouring.

I think my own particular brand of awesome might be more deep rooted than this book allows for however.

I love, love, love this book!!!

We get so caught up in our stresses of everyday life that we often don't take time to play. The author reminds us of the importance of playtime and gives great ideas on how to create, color, doodle, write.....

I will buy this book for many who need the reminder.

This book was received by HCI Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

The only thing I have to say about this book is that when it is released, I will be standing in line to buy it. EVERYONE needs a book like this, even if you do not like journaling. With COVID-19 still sweeping the nation, it is so important to stay healthy and positive mentally and this book will definitely help with that. With all the creative entries and fun doodles surrounding the book, it will sure catch some attention and readers can start improving their mind and find their awesome!

We will consider adding this book in our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

It's not good. It's an activity journal that just lists activities by day. The art is pretty simple. I didn't find it helpful. It seemed to simple and optimistic.

A cute journal to guide you through a 30 day process. Can help with your creativity as well as finding and loving yourself.

This book would make a great gift for someone you love or for yourself. It is a journal meant to be written, doodled, and colored in. The daily ideas range from silly to serious and all will help to lift your mood.

#FindYourAwesome i admit i am not often one for self help books. I was first attracted to the cover. I read the description and decided to give the thirty day program to help build an acceptance of my body and creative self. There are thirty daily activities designed to help you connect with your inner self. It is thru the self acceptance that one helps build the relationships around them.

My favorite activity was the designing of a motto t-shirt. I liked the fact that you are not locked into doing only one activity a day if you are so inclined. You can do them however they work best for you. I did try and stay with the thirty day plan but admit I did several activities toward the end and finishes several days ahead of schedule.

It is a good book even if you want to jump start your creativity. The examples given by the authors own projects added to the overall enjoyment for me.

This is such a fun creative journal. There are 30 days of prompts to encourage self-love, reflection, and gratitude. The tone of the book is informal and positive. The exercises are completely doable and will make you feel good while doing them. Reach out to a friend, be kind to yourself, have fun and be creative! I enjoyed this a lot.

As many of us do, I struggle with self worth. I found this daily journey easy to follow and effective. Making meaningful change is hard, but "Find Your Awesome" really helped me see that I am awesome!!

Find Your Awesome is an inspiring and creative book that will guide you on your own journey of self-discovery and self-love. The book consists of prompts or tasks for you to ponder and write about or actually do. While it sells itself as a 30-day journey, you can take more or less time if you like. Some of these tasks include: write a message of love, create a not-to-do list, reframe a task that you dread, draw a mandala, do the unexpected, doodle, write yourself a love letter, declutter, and take a digital hiatus.

The drawings throughout this book are fun, cheerful and cute. Judy Clement Wall is a writer but also an illustrator by trade and it shows.

To best summarize what this book is all about, here is a fitting quote from it: “Engaging creatively is like a full-body workout for the soul.“ And that is what you will be doing for the next 30 days once you have this book!

This is a great start to those beginning the journey of self-care and self-love. Each exercise is simple, and not too mentally or emotionally in-depth, but will make a great impact on your life. The perfect book for someone feeling a little lost or needing a confidence boost.

Cool idea, though workbooks like this tend to be a little difficult to actually follow through on. I think with a support network / accountability buddy, it could work well.

Cute and colorful book. It's a great self help book for teenage girls. This 30 day self love challenge is nice to help girls love themselves. The tasks are like "love your body", "be grateful", "take a break".
I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review
