What readers are saying about Pause & Practice
A Buoy in Life; Start Where You Are
“Whether recovery is something you embarked upon years ago or you are new to the world of recovery, this journal will guide you. For myself in recovery, some days I wake up and ask myself, "life sucks, which way are you going to go"? I stop thinking, I start feeling, and it leads me to this journal. Every aspect of it gives me a concrete place to evaluate my thoughts and feelings. Try it, when you're crying, when you feel great, this journal is a grounding place.” — S.I.O. Amazon Review
A Beautiful Companion for Healing and Growth
“I bought this workbook journal as a gift for a dear friend who’s in recovery, and it has been an incredible source of support for her. Not only has she told me it’s helped her reconnect with herself in a truly meaningful way, but I have seen a marked change in her. She seems more centered and more herself. The guided journaling method — gratitude lists, daily affirmations and mantras — has helped her stay grounded and focused on her personal growth each day. What I appreciate most about the content is that it’s not preachy or overwhelming. It offers gentle structure, thoughtful prompts and the kind of daily reflection that can really make a difference. If you or someone you care about is on a journey of recovery or self-discovery, this workbook is a beautiful companion.” —John B. Amazon Review
