I Own My Magic: Self-Talk for Black Women: Affirmations for Self-Care and Emp...

I struggle with self care as a wife and mother. There is always something that needs to get done or somewhere to be and this book helps me to stop for a moment and reflect. As a black woman, there are certain nuances that we carry due to our upbringing (like how our hair should be worn, not acknowledging the importance of our mental health, etc.). Michelle really goes through each area of our culture and helps us reflect on our own personal feelings about each topic. Highly advise this book for journaling. The prompts are great and the personal stories are so relatable.

This journal is just the right size to take with you so you can write at work, coffee shop, etc. The prompts and explanations are clearly written, and thoughtfully created by a mental health professional. I'm so glad to have this tool to use with clients, as I'm also a therapist. Thank you G. Michelle! P.S. I also own her other two journals, so clearly I'm a fan :)

This book just like her others are absolutely wonderful! If you’re into journaling it’s a great buy! You really learn what your best form of self care is. I especially love the chapter on celebrating who you are. I feel like I personally don’t celebrate me enough and after reading this chapter I plan to do more of that in 2022!

I’m loving this journal so far! Michelle combines her journey to self-care with simple and effective tools you’ll need to prioritize yourself first. I think we all want to own our own magic and this helps us achieve that one journal prompt and affirmation at a time.

I’ve only read the first chapter so far and I am totally impressed and enjoying the journey G. Michelle is taking me on. I look forward to updating this review once I finish the entire book.

G.Michelle has created a book that feels like a pocket size therapist and a nonjudgmental friend listening with an empathetic ear. This in-depth book is filled with journal prompts, affirmations, and what I find truly unique is lessons and stories from the author. She gets what it’s like to be a Black Woman in today’s time. She gets what it’s like to the “strong one” . Each page examines and explores our relationship with ourselves so we can harness our magic and live a live full of balance, rest and self-care.

I appreciate this book so much! I’ve been on my own self awareness journey and this little book is packed with gems. My eyes are open wider and able to reflect so deeply on feelings, emotions that I’ve been carrying. Thank God for opening my eyes to not needing to carry these feelings and empowering me with the freedom to shape my life how I truly desire to live it.

I chose this book because I need to find balance in my life and positivity! This book has both and so much more ! I love that I'm setting boundaries and reading affirmations before daily activities make me feel great. GET THE BOOK NOW !
