Navigating My Hot Messiness with The Little Book of Life Skills
Do you belong to the hot mess express like I do? Are you a child in an adult body like I am? Well for someone who was sheltered throughout their childhood, I began noticing I wanted to do things on my own when I was in highschool (like most people around that age). And then it got to a point around my mid-20’s (I’m really dating myself here,) where I really needed to branch off on my own and travel around for a couple of months. I keep bringing up that moment in my life because it was the most rewarding experience I have ever encountered. It helped me grow into the person I am today.
However, there are still a lot of things I need to figure out that I have no idea how to do/do well. Firstly, I absolutely hate cooking and when you have a mother like I do who nudges you out of the way and takes over when you’re starting to cook, you don’t end up knowing what to do half the time. And so, since I haven’t lived with my parents for some time now, I’m still trying to figure things out.
The Little Book of Life Skills helps guide adults young and old in the best practices in one’s personal, work and public life such as tackling dinner, to providing constructive criticism, to various self-care methods and the most important of them all; how to arrange a cheese board! Because cheese is life. With practical tips from a variety of experts such as Dr. Oz and Rachael Ray, this book has come in handy since I received it and it’s helping me navigate through my hot messiness.
