A lovely book. A bit of fun that I feel shouldn't be taken too seriously. 30 days of being awesome....it makes you think about loving yourself and those around you. I like that it's almost a diary so you can fill it in. Would also make a lovely gift.

Find Your Awesome is an interactive book designed to make the reader realize just how talented, imaginative and, well, how awesome she is. There are thirty challenges and one can be completed each day with the intent to unwind, de-stress and reflect. The end result is an up-lifting feeling that will instill joy in your life while providing inspiration and motivation.

The prompts aren’t difficult, there are a variety of activities, and it’s fun! As you progress through the challenges, you will learn to fall in love with yourself and with all you have to offer. In a word, you will discover how awesome you really are.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

It’s weird that we grow up looking down on motivational people, books and media. I always cringed or laughed, but recently I’ve been really getting into motivational books and audiobooks of those books, and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in myself. I’m a very independent person so I like to discover this stuff myself because I’m stubborn, obviously (we all knew that already!).
Find Your Awesome was a perfect book for me. The 30-Day challenge gave me lots of ideas in which I can help myself to lead a more positive and creative life. I wrote down a few notes of things that I will be doing in the future, so I think that speaks volumes.
I definitely think that this is the sort of book you have to meet head-on. You have to put yourself entirely out there and think about the questions it poses, particularly if you aren’t currently partaking in the 30-Day Challenge. I sat down and gave the proposals a really good think, and I believe I’m better for it.
I look forward to employing many of these techniques and challenges into my daily life!

Was a good book. It was inspirational, educational and it gave me a lot to think about. I would buy this book if I hadn’t already been given a copy. Thank you Judy Clement Wall for giving me an opportunity to read your book.

Oh, goodness! I like books like this! They are kind of self-help, but not like regular self-help books. It's not talking at you...wordy. I love that it's interactive! Has lots of fun things to do for yourself. made me smile a lot and gave me food for thought, I want to purchase this book as a keeper for my collection. it would make a great gift, too! Know someone who needs a pick me up? They'd probably love this book. Lots of useful and entertaining ideas in it.

This is a great book for this time of year. It's a short, 30 days, challenge journal that allows you to find your true creative self and then allow that version of yourself to flourish for the rest of the year.

I started by following this book a day at a time but faltered over the month. I absolutely love the idea and can see this being a book you keep coming back to time and again when you need a pick me up and/or directed self-care.

I loved how the author started off each challenge for you by showing what she did and then leaving a decorative blank space for you all started and ready to go. I used the eBook version so I found myself taking screenshots of the page and using a third party app to add text through labels. Some of the drawing ones were more difficult though and I kept forgetting to do them later when I had time and paper. I could see this belong an awesome book to gift with a blank sketchbook or journal. It would be perfect to keep repeating in your own space as your answers would change depending on your current life. I could also see the joy in buying this book in paper form and scribbling your answers directly in the book... Although the pragmatist in me would want to keep reusing it and wouldn't want the old answers to sway my new thoughts.

Overall a great read I could see returning too frequently.

I received a copy of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Find Your Awesome by Judy Clement Wall is a fun and encouraging read! With whimsical illustrations and a casual warm tone, the book challenges you to 30 days of ways to engage with your creativity and to value yourself. I tend to be a little wary of both "love yourself" and "30 Day Challenge" books, but I was pleasantly surprised to find many activities that I really wanted to try. Wall's tone is so encouraging and warm, with suggestions on how to make the challenge your own, that Find Your Awesome feels inspiring rather than daunting. Best of all, Wall gives enough suggestions and ideas that almost any of the days could be spun into their own 30 day adventure. As a mom, teacher, and artist I look forward to trying some of the activities with students, friends and family. And as a very busy mom who is often hard on herself, and finds little time for creative expression, I am inspired to make it a part of my life by taking on this 30 day challenge. #NetGalley #FindYourAwesome #JudyClementWall #HCI #HealthCommunicationsInc

This is a 30 day challenge I really want to do! Seems like the perfect time to start a new direction, at the beginning of the new year! This activity book is perfect for anyone that is super busy with housework, a career, and raising a family! When do you take time for loving yourself? If you’d like me, you just don’t. I would be so much happier if I just did half the things in this book I know it would make me so much happier about my life!
Thank you HCI and NetGalley for this playful challenge! I am going to invite my blog readers to start this challenge with me in January! ❤️
This will appear on my blog Sunday December 23, 2018.

This is a forgettable take on a popular subject. The illustrations are childish, the prompts are unextraordinary. Not worth the time.

A fun witty read that challenges you to just let go of all your stress ( wouldn't that be the life)! It be better as a hard cover because its a journal but I made due! I loved what it was and think that Judy did great. The challenges were great and easy!

This is such a great book, especially for women who are busy and don’t take time for themselves. This book is a 30-day self-love challenge, encouraging individuals to do one thing each day that will stimulate their creativity and live if self. I received an advanced readers copy from NetGalley and looking forward to picking up a hard copy of the book that I can write and draw in! 5/5 stars.

While this book was motivating i feel like it's geared more towards a middle school to age 25. At the ripe age of 32 i feel most of this i should have known to do already. I'm not saying it is limited to those ages but i feel they would get the best of what the author it's trying to say. I did get some ideas to do for myself on down days.
It's like to thank #netgalley, the author,and publisher for the advance read. I did enjoy it. If it was an actual book i probably would have done all the pages. I enjoyed finding my awesome and plan to use some of these to keep my awesome going!

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

A fun, inspirational 30 day journal with creative prompts mixed in. Designed to help people learn to love themselves, it offers different ways to let loose, spark creativity, spread love, and appreciate one's self more freely. This isn't a deep, soul-searching journey, so don't expect great depth from all the prompts, though some could get very real depending on your mindset when you do it. It is, however, happy, enjoyable, and very adaptable. It's available as an e-book, but do yourself a favor and go for the physical copy so you can doodle in it!

I really enjoyed taking part in this.
Some of the days challenges were things i already do, so I just did the next days challenge.
There were some really good ideas and I found the process thought provoking and character shaping.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a really cute, fun book that directs you through exercises that are both entertaining and enlightening. I hope they publish it as a spiral bound journal so it's easy to work with.

This book is great! It's full of so much positive advice and activities! I am taking part in the 30-day challenge every day on my blog and every day it is helping me to think more optimistically and see the world in a different, more positive way. And the tasks are fun to do each day too!

This is a happy book. Seriously, reading it made me happier. It's designed used sort of like a journal--followed one day at time--with a new task to complete each day. But I was having so much fun, I initially read through the whole thing like a book. Then I went back and started over, and am following the tasks. I'm not really doing the one task per day---I'm more doing the "do the first task for a few days" thing and then add the 2nd task for a few more days. Some tasks I add on, some tasks I drop off, some tasks I keep doing. I'm only about halfway through the second time through, but I'm loving the experience. This is a colorful, cheerful book, designed to get you to take small actions to take care of yourself...bring out your creativity...love yourself...focus on yourself. That's really hard for a lot of us to do, but I like this approach a lot. Small little tasks you can do for a day, or a week or forever....I guarantee most will make you happier. I really loved this book, and think it's a great gift to give yourself...and an even better gift to give someone you love that maybe works too hard, or is too hard on themselves, or doesn't take enough time for themselves. Challenge them to give it a try. They don't have to finish it in 3o days or even 90 days... but start with the first task. And when that feels good, try to add the next one. Encourage them to try the next one....I bet they will end up happier, at least a little bit!

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

A good book, full of simple tasks that encourage you to be more positive and happy.

I had the ebook so couldn't do all the tasks shown on the book, so I would suggest the paperback so you can make notes and doodles, another option is to have a separate notebook to doodle etc.
