Every day is an opportunity to do better. I am not in competition with anybody else. I am in competition with myself. Follow a healthy lifestyle. Aim to exercise for about 30 minutes on most days of the week. You can also break it up into 5- or 10-minute chunks of time during the day. Exercise can positively affect mood and reduce stress. Follow a healthy diet to fuel your mind and body. Get enough sleep. And learn techniques to manage stress. What is self-talk? Self-talk is the inner voice in your head. It provides an interpretation and meaning to what you’re currently experiencing or thinking about. These internal thoughts shape and influence how you respond to any given situation. Studies have found that most of our inner thoughts are negative, which means we have a tremendous opportunity to greatly improve our situation simply by changing how to talk to ourselves. Problems are riddles that already have solutions in it. I need to look for the key to solve the riddle. And if you have dreams you thought were too big, or you didn’t know how to make them come true, then Coffee Self-Talk will help you. The days of rolling out of bed feeling down and shitty are over.

No matter your circumstances, now is the time to become your best, most magical self - faster than it takes to finish your first cup of coffee! People who are masters at positive self-talk have motivation in spades, get more done, and exude confidence. The execution of the book was not necessarily my favorite. I thought that the language was a bit over the top at times and cringy. My biggest pet peeve was probably referencing research without like citing the research. I really think this book would have benefited if it did go into more in-depth of the type of research that the author had done. But I also don’t necessarily think that was her intention in writing this book to be a scientific and research base. She’s just really here to sell an idea and she did that. I’m not necessarily fond of books trying to sell itself.For all of you who like an easy-peasy way to slide into your Coffee Self-Talk routine with more ease or if you want a bit of help getting started, then this book is for you.

I can forgive others and I can forgive myself for my past failures and mistakes. I am worthy of forgiveness and second chances. What if you were excited to bounce out of bed, living with verve and gusto because you had purpose, unrelenting resilience, and targeted direction?

My senses are sharpened and renewed. I see things more clearly, sensations and sounds are amplified, tastes are more savory, and scents are aromatic. I've been in a mood to change up the type of books I read and this seemed like a fun one! I drink coffee/tea every day so I thought, why not! Many of the tips in here are pretty easy to implement; a lot of it was affirmations. For those that look for constant ways to keep things positive and find the silver lining in everything, this is easy to do. Prior to making that resolution, I was happy most of the time. I was Tao when life was up and down. I looked for, and always found, silver linings. I trained my brain to do this. I fired and wired that M.O. It became automatic. Effortless. Identify areas to change. If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you usually think negatively about, whether it's work, your daily commute, life changes or a relationship. You can start small by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way. Think of a positive thought to manage your stress instead of a negative one. I don't know. I think the repetitiveness of reading coffee and self talk throughout the book about a million times got to me.
