So, I was slogging my way through this book…

You know the kind—one that everyone seems to love, or maybe no one recommended it and I thought someone did (more on that in a minute), but either way, I just couldn’t get into it.

But still, I kept pushing through. Why? Because of all the mental gymnastics that come with not finishing something.

I told our Lively member Ariel—who I thought recommended this book—how much I was struggling with it. And she says, “Walk away! I didn’t like that one.” 🤯

Wait, WHAT?! She didn’t love it either?!I must’ve totally made up that she recommended it. 

But once she gave me that little permission slip to let it go, I felt so much better.

And that’s what got me thinking...

Why did I need her permission?
