There has been many a time I have only been too happy to stay out of the spotlight and stay in the shadows. This is mainly down to my health condition and over time I forgot how to be me. I was never one to shy away from conversation or to get my point heard but over the last year or two I have been a bit more careful about how I act and what I talk about.
I have recently read a fantastic book by Kelly Martin called "When Everyone Shines Including You" and after reading it I feel much more confident about being the old me. Why should I hide in the shadows. We are all different and we all have something to contribute.
This is the second Book in "The Shine Series" and I had previously read and reviewed the book (review can be found here) and this book follows on perfectly and teaches you how to be more confident and happier.
What I love most about this book is how it is written and the chapters are broken down in manageable chunks that get the point across in such a precise but beautiful way. It is not one of those self help books that is written in a way that makes you feel that you are being spoken down to. It makes sense and you will find yourself thinking "this is so true. I can do this"
The book covers so many different life events and how to deal with them in a positive manner. My favourite chapter was "say goodbye to the old ways" I finally feel that I can leave some of my little habits behind (the bad ones of course) and it feels good to let go of that baggage so to speak.
I can't recommend this book enough. It will really benefit so many people, even if you don't feel like you need help, it really will help change your outlook on life.
