BATB score: 9/10 🌈

psychologist Dr Julie Smith believes that everybody need to manage their mental well-being 💟 yet not everybody can afford a session with a psychologist; this book shares the techniques and supportive tool for you to self-DIY fix your mental health 💯 #thankyou

Best to: when feeling overwhelmed, acknowledge that it is okay to feel overwhelmed, take a step back and ask "why is this so important to me?", maybe it is actually not that important and if it is important then ask "what would I do if I am at my best?", and slowly do so

Best as: how to be your own psychologist for your own mental health 101 - the techniques shared is so epic critical yet why is all these knowledge not free or properly taught?!?

Best for: to help be a DIY psychologist for someone you love ask "what are you thinking?" instead of "are you okay?"

BATB lingering learnings: 'Anhedonia' is when we stop taking pleasure in the things that we used to enjoy or when we start to question whether anything is worth the effort. And 'Metacognition' is a fancy name for thoughts about your thoughts.
