With the world experiencing a pandemic and the uncertainties of when we would return back to our kind of “normal” living, many people surrounding me, including myself have experienced anxieties, panic attacks, depression and other mental issues that have since amplified due to COVID.

While there are help available to speak with someone, join forums and groups to support each other, to try to encourage each other to overcome or at least manage these conditions, I have since turned to light reading. Little self-help books for positive affirmations, anecdotes, quotes and anything to take my mind away from thinking other than trying to remain positive about life and the current circumstances we are all living in at present times.

Every setback is a set up for a comeback.” – Anon.

The Anxiety-Free book focuses on these topics: understanding what is anxiety, how to challenge your mind, how to help regulate your body, how, where to get support, how to live your life and quotes to live by.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfilment. It is in the happiness of pursuit.” – Denis Waitley.

The Happiness book focuses on these topics: thinking, doing, giving, loving, being and quotes to live by.

The collection of these light reading self-help books are available in 6 titles: Anxiety-Free, Happiness, Self-Care, Confidence, Mindfulness, and Resilience. All 5 excluding resilience can be found at Kmart Australia online and in some stores. Check your nearest stockist.
