ABCS OF SELF LOVE: A Simple Guide to Loving Yourself, Reclaiming Your Worth, and Changing Your Life Paperback – Import, 17 February 2022

I have a bookshelf of books focused on growth... from healing trauma and shame to discovering your authenticity etc. I have such a hard time reading them. They're long, take so much effort, and don't give me the skills I'm looking for. Melody's book is on the other end of the spectrum. It's simple, easy to digest, full of color and inspiration, and full of crafty exercises that actually help you build the skills you're looking for. It's meant to be taken in small doses overtime, like a gentle friend cheering you on as you learn the things you're hoping to learn. I can't think of one person that wouldn't benefit from doing the exercises and journaling that she guides you through, and it's all in such small doses that it's easy to incorporate into a crazy busy lifestyle. I've discovered so much about myself being guided through this book. In all the other ones I've tried to read, I've related to the authors but felt like I was being lectured. With the ABCs of Self Love, I felt like my hand was being held as I walked the path I was looking to walk. Eternally grateful for this purchase!

Was a decent read.

This book is absolutely beautiful. I could relate to the author of this book in so many ways. It was written in such a way that was very healing to mind, body, and spirit. The exercises in the book are so helpful and very therapeutic. I loved it!!! The book illustrations are so pretty. I was just captivated by the beauty of the book and the honesty of the author in sharing her life experiences and finding the path to be being their authentic self as we are all on that same journey. There were moments in reading this book that I cried because it took me to my own experiences in my life in moments that were similar. There is so much healing in this book that can take place if you let it. A must have book in finding your journey to truly loving yourself!!!

This book is ok.

I bought & read the first edition of this book in mid-2020 when my life was full of uncertainty and true joy seemed like a distant memory.The beauty of this book is the fact that it is unfinished until you read it and fill in the blanks yourself. It’s an interactive experience that captures your thoughts & emotions and keeps them safe.I usually read books only once & make sure to take my time with my favorite ones so that I always have another chapter to look forward to reading. As if I befriend the main character and learn more about them on every page.With this book, I can re-read it again every so often and reencounter my old self. I can pay a visit to my past, feel all grateful for who I am today, and be excited for the future.This new edition (released 1/4/2022) is finally a masterpiece with beautiful illustrations.I highly recommend you buy a copy… or 3 :)
