[FEBRUARY] 2021: Book Review

It’s the end of February which means it is time to talk about the books I read.


Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts by Jennie Allen

       
        Our thoughts can lead to a spiral, whether positive or negative. In this book, Jennie
       Allen shows us how to get out of that toxic downward spiral of negative thoughts.
       From her own dark destructive downward spiral, she was able to pull out of it with
       God’s help. He built us in a way so that we have the power to fight and win the war
       that goes on in our minds. The enemy is determined to keep us overwhelmed, feeling
       helpless, and incapable of making a difference. When we learn to fight those toxic
       thoughts, we are able to have a positive mind, which improves our bodies and
       souls, spiritually, mentally, and physically. I am a positive person (I absolutely cannot
       stand negativity) but there were things in this book that I do have issues with and it
       helped me! So, even if you think you are a positive person, you will still find help with
       something in this book.

       
        As a child, Janet ran…a lot. As she got older, it became harder to run because of work,
       basically life in general. But, she knew that it was the best form of fitness for her. She
       also knew that in order for her to keep running, she had to be motivated. She joined
       running groups because it helps to have people to run with. She signed up for half
       marathons, and marathons but still, she needed something to keep her going. She
       searched in the Internet for motivation and found the Becoming Ultra project. She
       would have a trainer and would be interviewed and “followed” throughout the project.
       She knew this was the motivation she needed. This book is her account of her
       thoughts and feelings and the process of….becoming ultra.
