Got some books from the library today as I never go lol They are… mindfulness for dummies, super simple psychologically, the mythology book, how psychology works, the psychology book, and emotional intelligence for dummies. Figured I’d read up on those to enhance/critique and better my self awareness, understanding of people and emotions, and life skills in general. From life lessons and my knowledge so far.. pushing some books and learning in this direction I’ll be an unstoppable force on reading.. understanding…and communicating with people. Plus it will help if I can’t go back to being a paramedic due to the injuries.. such as jobs like addiction counseling or life counseling etc The more we know ❤️🧬📚

@odd Lucy... mushies..meditation... a genuine desire to change... being injured and unable to work for over a year has helped me continue on this journey. It freed me from alcohol and transformed my life in so many ways. Always maintain that hunger for growth, and you'll always seek more! đź’Ż Well said! I love it!
