The Best Self-Help Books

You Can Heal Your Life 

I’m going to start with the book that changed everything for me. This was the first self-help book that made me realise I could change my thoughts. Before I read this book, my thoughts were all negative. 

I’m not even exaggerating here!!

This book started my self-help and Law of Attraction journey.

Short Description

This book is all about changing the way you think by using affirmations. It’s a great starting point if you have never used affirmations. Louise walks you through a typical session that she would normally have with her clients.

The first section is all about discovering where our beliefs come from. The second section is divided up into different life areas, so you can go deeper into the beliefs you have around these.

There is also a list at the back of the book that goes through dis-eases and gives you new thought patterns for each. This is taken from her book You Can Heal Your Body.

Biggest Takeaway 

You can change the way you think by using affirmations. We don’t have to hold onto the old belief patterns we learned as a child.

It is only a thought and a thought can be changed

Louise Hay

The Four Agreements 

OMG, I love this book! I first read it at the beginning of the year, when I was going through a difficult time in my life.

I’ll be honest, I read it like 50 times!!

It’s a really short read so you can read it in a day or 2.

It really helped me shift my perspective on life, especially when it comes to other peoples behaviours. It teaches us that everything that others do is about them, not us!!

Short Description

This book is all about the agreements we picked up as a child and how we only need to focus on four.

It’s taken from the Toltec practices, a society that was formed in Southern Mexico.

The Four Agreements are:

1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don’t take anything seriously
3. Don’t make assumptions
4. Always do your best

Biggest Takeaway

This book really helped me to stop taking things personally. This was something I did a lot and knowing that nothing people do is because of me changed the way I handled things.

The Secret Language of Feelings 

I love this book! It’s helped me a lot to uncover what my feelings actually mean!

If you find yourself over-reacting a lot, then this book is for you!!

Short Description

When we distract ourselves from our feelings, instead of listening to them, we are only getting a short term relief from them.

If we don’t address the need behind the feeling, we can start to feel frustrated or even depressed.

This book will help you find out the need behind each feeling. For example, feeling angry is the need for fairness.

So when we know the need behind each feeling, we can start to take action to solve this.

There are 3 steps to working through your feelings:

1. Identify the feeling
2. Identify the cause of the feeling
3. Identify a satisfying response

Biggest Takeaway

By working through my feelings, I have become a calmer person. I now know what my feelings are telling me and how to work through them.

The Tapping Solution 

I love EFT and this was one of the first books I read about it. I’m now a certified EFT practitioner and it has completely changed my life.

I believe EFT should be taught in schools, it’s that powerful!!

I use EFT every day on myself, with my clients and I’m teaching my children to use it too.

It’s the fastest way I know to clear limiting beliefs, reduce stress and calm the body and mind.

Short Description

This book is a great introduction to EFT. It explains how to use EFT and how to uncover what you need to tap on.

It starts with uncovering what you need to tap on, using the tapping tree.

The main things to tap on are:

1. Symptoms
2. Emotions
3. Events
4. Limiting beliefs

Biggest Takeaway

Not only does tapping help relieve stress, but it can also be used for many other things.

Such as pain and phobias.

EFT can be used to improve every area of your life. By tapping on our past and limiting beliefs, we are clearing our energy to create a better life.

The Medical Medium 

I’m totally obsessed with the Medical Medium. When I first started reading it, I was a bit sceptical about a spirit guide giving some guy health advice.

However, everything he writes about our health makes sense and with over 2 million followers, it’s fair to say he knows his stuff!!

This truly is one of the best self-help books for your health!!

Short Description

The medical medium talks about how viruses life in our bodies and causes a lot of problems with our health.

He also talks about how we have heavy metals in our bodies too.

In this book, he explains the damage these viruses and heavy metals do to us.

He also tells us how to heal ourselves by making changes to our diets.

Biggest Takeaway

Anyone can heal their health, even if the doctors have no idea what’s wrong with you!!

Using the information in this book, I have started my journey to healing my IBS.

I now drink celery juice every day and it’s made a huge difference to my health.
