On My Table and In My Cup December 31st-January 7th

The first week of the new year and I have read 4 books this week, moved into a new house and well am starting to feel at home. A week ago I was at the mercy of the clock getting the former house ready to hand back to the landlords, this Saturday I am off to hockey in the snow, which seems to be the new norm.

Our cats have taken quite well to the new place, better and faster then I thought they would. Miss Mia even joining me on the couch as I finished Jenn Mckinlay's Assault and Beret.

 My review will be up tomorrow but I have to say it was spectacular.

I also read and reviewed Telling Tails by Sofie Ryan this week, a great team of Sleuths in that one along with a cat named Elvis, what is not to love?

Pop Goes the Murder was also a very fun read and great second in series. I enjoyed this one and was sad to close the book!

I also reviewed You Have 4 Minutes to Change Your Life, a self help book that I found very interesting. I am thrilled to be approved to read such a wide variety of books and am hoping you will enjoy me sharing a few of them here with you as well.
Thank you for joining me for a cup of tea and a week in review. I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com

You Have 4 Minutes To Change Your Life by Rebeckah Borucki

Today I have a book review for you of a self help book called You have 4 minutes to Change Your Life by Rebekah Borucki . This was a very interesting read. It is part self help meditation and part auto biography, a interesting read. This is a time of year where many of us look and do our best to start over, live life better and gain control of our own happiness. This book is a great motivation tool for anyone looking to add meditation to their repertoire. I enjoyed reading it and I truly do believe that in taking time for self care you really can change the way you look at your life.

“I don’t have time to meditate!”

Rebekah “Bex” Borucki has heard this a lot. A certified yoga and meditation teacher, she’s taught hundreds of thousands of people how to create simple yet powerful meditation practices. In fact, as she’ll show you in this book, in as little as 4 minutes, you can change your life.

After years of suffering from anxiety and depression, both as a child and as an adult, Bex took control of her mental and physical health by establishing a rigorous fitness and yoga routine that quickly evolved into her own regular, homegrown 4-minute daily meditation practice. Bex’s 4-minute meditations combine mantras, affirmations, breathing and bodywork techniques, and they’re designed so that even the busiest people can fit them into their lives.

In this book, Bex guides you through 27 different meditation practices, and shares personal stories that demonstrate how meditation has helped her overcome various challenges. She also answers commonly asked questions like “Do my eyes have to stay closed?” and“What do I do if my body starts to hurt?”; provides technical information about props, postures, and mantras; and offers tools to cope with complex issues such as grief, body acceptance, and relationships.

By spending just 4 minutes a day with this practice, you will find deep, meaningful, and lasting healing.

This book is out February 28th, 2017 and you can find it by clicking here.
