It is finally FALL!!!! The time of year where the weather get cooler and Friday nights are spent in. It is the perfect time to work on yourself!
Working on your own PERSONAL GROWTH is an important thing to do! One of my favorite things to do for personal growth is READING. Yes, reading! I never been much of “reader”. Honestly, I used to hate it! I am slow reader and sometimes reading was difficult for me. When I was struggling in my life, reading became a useful coping skill. Coping skills are things you do to help solve personal or interpersonal problems. As I read more books, reading developed into a tool for my personal growth.
Over the years, I have read a bunch of books.
Here are a few of my TOP reads for PERSONAL GROWTH.
Daring Greatly- by Brene Brown.
If you are someone who is struggle with fear or anxiety, I recommend reading this book. Brene Brown is a great author. She has written many books and even has a Netflix’s special. She is honest and vulnerable in her writing, that you can connect with her on a personal level. In this particular book, Brene Brown talks about having courage to put yourself in the arena. Anxiety and fear often prevents us from having courage to chase our dreams. We get afraid of failure and rejection. After I read this book, it motivated me to have more courage in my life.

Rachel Hollis is one of my favorite authors. I love this book and recommend reading it if you need inspiration. Rachel Hollis is a founder of a multimillion-dollar media company. She empowers many individuals to become the best version of themselves. Rachel Hollis writes this book to help women let go of the excuses and find confidence to chase their dreams. She is an inspiring author. Rachel Hollis has written other books like Girl, Wash Your Face and Didn’t See That Coming. Fun fact...after I read this book, it encouraged me to let go of the excuses and start my blog!
