Book Review: Say Goodbye to Survival Mode

Crystal from Money Saving Mom graciously sent me a copy of her latest book, Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life.

I was so excited to get right into it……… but I had a busy weekend, and then a busy week. I decided that I would finish it over the next weekend, but I waited…then procrastinated. Yeah. Awesome.

Turns out, I should have read earlier.

Crystal talks about her own experience with being so busy and trying to do so many things that she was sinking, emotionally and physically. In her friendly style, she explains what she was doing wrong and what she did to reverse it.

You totally feel like you are sitting with her over coffee and getting some expert one-on-one advice. She gives you clear cut boundaries, girls, and permission to say NO to things that are good but that are sucking the life out of the things that are best.

This book is totally worth your money if you are:

• overwhelmed with life and feel like you are sinking,
• busy but not actually productive,
• lacking clear cut goals,
• lacking motivation to achieve your goals,
• overwhelmed by unrealistic goals
• in need of advice for achieving long term goals in bite-sized chunks
• chronically exhausted and running yourself ragged
• or just plain want to know how Money Saving Mom turned her blogging business into a full time income for her family.

Thanks to Crystal, I have a solid strategy to achieve some goals that I had written off as “someday” goals: Someday when the kids are gone, or someday when I have a little more time. I realized that I had put some of my own goals on the back burner and used my kids as a convenient excuse for my poor lack of planning.

Well, I’ve begun chipping away at my goals to write a book, lose weight, daily exercise, organize the closets, and other ideals using Crystals easy methods. 🙂

You’ll really enjoy Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life. It’s like a life seminar for under $15 bucks. 🙂
