Focus On Yourself Once In A While

Hey guys!  I have another guest post today, this one from a woman that I've known since high school and recently reconnected with!  She's an awesome person!

Hey!  I'm Alexa Racine, a fifth generation entrepredur who finally has my drem job of working from home running not one but two of my own businesses.  I'm a photographer who loves weddings & engagements because I'm a hopeless romantic.  I'm also a virtual health and fitness coach who helps women live happy and healthy lives while focusing on self-love and confidence.  Both of my jobs are so rewarding and give me a sense of purpose.  They also allow me to stay home and be with our dog, Lacey and our new baby who will be here in September.

Part of my job as a coach is spending time each day in personal development. I usually carve out 30 minutes in my morning routine to do this.  My favorite personal development is books about confidence and self-love.  My two favorites are You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero and Mastering Your Mean Girl by Melissa Abrosini.  Both books are written in a fun, flowing way that keeps you engaged and turning pages.  I always feel like I am talking ot a friend while reading these books because of the playful way it's written.  Specifically Jen Sincero uses humor and the occasional curse word in her writing, which helps me relate more making it feel like she's my BFF telling me what I need to hear.  Both of these books focus on limiting negative self-talk. boosting confidence and using affirmations to get you in the right state of mind.



I'm about to finish another book by Jen Sincero this week and already have my next book ready to go!  I have not read it yet but know fellow coaches who are currently reading it and I can't wait to start it!  My next book will be Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis, which features Holli's honesty, humor, and direct, no-nonsense advice--just like the other books I enjoy reading!  From what I hear, this book takesthe lies Hollis used to believe that made her feel crummy and helps women stop the limiting mind-sets that destroy our self-confidence.


Me again!  I actually have both of these books, but I haven't read them yet!  I'm starting Mastering Your Mean Girl on Monday.  You know, with all the other things I've got going on in my life! 

Go read a book, and enjoy the wonderful weather that we are FINALLY starting to get!
