My Top Go-To Self Development Books for My Readers

Calling my fellow book lovers & reading fans! This is for you…

If you’ve been here for a little while, you may know that I am a HUGE advocate for personal development. In that vein, I have shared some of my favorite books over on Instagram! Any other women out there big readers, too?

Sometimes I dream about starting a virtual book club where we chat over zoom and share what helped us grow. Would you love that, friend? For me, I have found self development to be so healing and crucial to my growth as a human. Especially as a small business owner. It is the foundation in helping navigate setbacks, lows and frustrations that come with business and life!

Whenever I find myself in a funk, comparing myself to someone else’s journey, or frustrated for whatever reason… I turn to my personal development reading or audio books. I try to put in 45 minutes to 1 hour a day, but that’s not always feasible. Even 30 minutes of GOOD NOISE fills my cup.

Here’s the thing:

If I don’t listen to something encouraging and motivating every day, feelings of self doubt, anxiety, insecurity and inadequacy take over. I believe those thoughts come straight from the devil and I’m not about that! Uh, no thanks!

Listening to podcasts, scriptures, audible, daily devotionals, and “state changing” playlists over the past several years has played key role in how I changed my life.

Ever seen the rice science experiment? Pretend the rice is your mind: your whole SOUL. If you listen to enough positive things, you may just start believing that YOU are worth it. It’s hard to find your self worth when you listen to the own negative thoughts in your head, But, if you immerse yourself in positive content and things that help you see your worth… you can transform your life.

How I squeeze personal development and reading time in:

Listen in the car (it can fuel little minds as well), or while you do dishes or fold the laundry. When you’re multi-tasking household chores, it’s a great time to put it on. This is how I start my day! I listen to something while I’m in the shower: it has become an essential part of my routine.

Personal Development is chicken soup for the soul – seriously! Listening to good words will fill your mind with the premium gas!
