reading list for this year

As a part of my wholehearted year I want to finally go through the books which have been collecting dust on the shelves at home for quite some time. In the past I’ve always started reading a book and rarely finished it because I got distracted by something else. This year I want to change it and do it my wholehearted (completely and sincerely devoted) way. Finishing these books will also help me to transform my way of thinking and doing things. Like coming up with healthier and more fulfilling meals for my little athletes and super athletic husband.

The photo above isn’t showing all the books I want to read this year but those should be enough as a starting point (the two bottom ones are from a library).

Here is my list:

1. Whole 30 – by Mellisa Hartwig and Dallas Hartwig
2. Everyday Super Foods – by Jamie Oliver
3. Essential Oils Natural Remedies – The Complete A-Z Reference of Essential Oils for Health and Healing – by Althea Press
4. Essential Oils and Aromatherapy – An Introductory Guide – by Sonoma Press
5. Whole Foods to Thrive – by Brendan Brazier
6. Rising Strong – by Brene Brown
7. Secrets to a Heathy Metabolism – by Maria Emmerich
8. Clean Gut – by Alejandro Junger

You’ve probably noticed a pattern going on in this list. Yes, those books are mostly about food and essential oils. About the good healthy stuff. And that’s what I plan on improving this year – to become more aware of what we eat, and what we use in our everyday life. Our kids are very active in competitive sports and Ivo’s goals are getting bigger as well (e.g. long distance ultra marathons, off-road triathlons) so it’s up to me to come up with nutritious meal plans. And there is no better way how to start than educate myself.

This year I’m using Elise’s Get to Work Book as a planner/goal tracker to sort of push myself to commit to these “tasks”. I absolutely love the concept of this Work book, it is amazing tool how to stay on track. And it is visually appealing to me as well which helps me to focus on the important stuff.

So, tell me, what are your plans in the reading department for this year? Please don’t be afraid to comment here. It is always such a reward for me to read your comments, and I appreciate one and each of them.
