Description
10 simple mindset shifts to love the life you're already living
It's all too easy to find our own lives less than lustrous when we're constantly scrolling our way through the shiny, seemingly perfect lives of others on social media. And while most of us wouldn't say we're unhappy, we just wish . . .
We just wish we had more money, more time, more control. We just wish we had a better marriage or easier kids. We just wish we looked more like her. We don't want a total life overhaul, but we want something.
After 10+ years of professional life online, Kate Strickler, founder of Naptime Kitchen, set out to fight the lie that what she had wasn't enough. In this totally relatable and frequently humorous book, she shares the simple perspective shifts that are helping her fall in love with the life right in front of her. She helps you
● identify and dismantle 10 lies about the so-called good life
● make small, real-world changes that add up to a new outlook on life
● learn to live and mother in ways that work for you and your family
With her trademark real-life tips and practical life hacks you'll discover how to stop just wishing your life away--and begin to truly enjoy the one you already have.
Advance Praise
"Naptime Kitchen blogger Strickler details in her down-to-earth debut how the chronically dissatisfied can swap comparison for contentment. As a young mom, the author struggled with “knowing my life was a gift” while envying the spacious kitchens and attractive outfits she scrolled past on social media. Deciding to reframe her frustrations, she learned to transform her dreams of a bigger, cleaner kitchen (less a superficial desire than a hunger for domestic happiness, she writes) into gratitude for the messes and spills of a vibrant family life... The result is a welcome reminder to stop and smell the roses."
