I found this to be an interesting book with very useful ideas that can help people get out of those darn ruts we may fall into. There is a little something for most people in the book. Of course, for some, there may not be. I found it easy to understand. There were several ideas that I will be putting to use. I always need help with productivity. It’s a good resource to add to your business library.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Productivity is Power 2: For Creative, Business, and Other Professionals is just what you need to get out of a funk, or unglue yourself from that rut you are stuck in. What may work for some; may not work for you but there is always something that will resonate with someone. It has some good ideologies and methodologies that are easy to enact.
Being a leader in a workplace I am always looking for material to help my staff feel empowered. To help them want to be involved in what they do and how to do it better. I have always believed that it all starts with how your staff feel about themselves and the workplace.
Hillary Rettig’s Productivity is Power 2: For Creative, Business, and Other Professionals goes into that and more. A lot of what I bring to the workplace is covered in this book, so it was good to feel validated. But there is always something to learn, and there were somethings I did after reading this.
No matter what you do or where you work or do not work and want something to help overcome the “oh I will do that tomorrow” feeling, or “I’ll get to that later” then stop and take the time to sit and read Hillary’s book.

A beautifully illustrated, calming, and thought-provoking workbook to rediscover yourself. It looks at many different aspects of your life and helps you with easy-to-understand prompts. It is nice to pop in and out of this journal and make time each day for the prompts. It is very helpful if you are just starting on your journalling journey.

Finding Your Heart is a journal that explores thoughts and emotions, encouraging a fresh perspective. This journal provides the opportunity to document your reflections, read affirmations, and embark on a journey to lighten your mind and heart.
It serves as a valuable tool for self-reflection, allowing you to track your journey from where you began to where you are now. It also makes for a thoughtful gift to a friend simply because it’s a powerful means of self-discovery.

I received this book as an ebook but would suggest purchasing the hard copy to use it to its full potential.

This is a great healing journal/book to work through! I was unsure if I would be ok with working through a book like this. I really liked that you could dive as deep as you wanted to and work through what you choose to. It was a well thought out layout and I really enjoyed the way it was put together. This journal really helps you to feel empowered and to open your heart. The artwork was well done and the positive way of working though the past really was amazing. I definitely recommend giving this journal a try even if this isn’t your typical read!

I’m a firm believer in things happening for a reason and this journal happened to pop up when I needed it the most. It was thought provoking, helped me get my thoughts and feelings in order and an easier time to articulate those thoughts and feelings. I will be getting copies of this book for both of my daughters.

I feel like this is a beautiful journal for someone who is ready to dive a little deeper into feelings and self-discovery with affirmations sprinkled through. Something that I wasn’t expecting was the variety of beautiful illustrations throughout. I’ve seen plenty of journals that have repetitive pictures, sayings, and even prompts which may fit someone else just fine, but I crave the unique style I’ve found here. It’s incredibly apparent that a lot of thought went into the pictures, prompts, and layout of this journal and I love it. I appreciate the focus that is on self-discovery which I have found helpful in the most stressful areas of my life. The thought of decluttering your home is one that is widely known, but decluttering your heart should be a main focus as this journal shows. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing a copy with your loved ones!

Honestly, I was not expecting this book to blow me away as much as it did. I have gone through a lot of things within this last year and was needing something that would help me as much as it has. Doing the exercises, helped me let go of a lot of heaviness that I had within me. I was absolutely blown away. I cannot speak more highly about this journal/book. The author OUTDID herself. I absolutely loved this.

Finding Your Heart by Nadia Han. I loved this journal so much that I bought one for each person in my circle group at church. Its the best journal I have found that covers a multitude of issues. If you are the type of person that doesn’t like to talk to others about your problems and keep everything inside this is the perfect journal for you. The pictures are beautiful and I enjoyed answering the questions inside. While this journal may have you getting out of your comfort zone it will be a great healing tool if you will let it. I lost a twin baby 25 years ago along with my dad completing suicide the same year. It was a very rough time and if I had this journal then it would have helped immensely. I still got a lot out of it and I enjoyed it very much!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No matter where you are in life, things happen which are both within and outside of your control and all this can build up inside until it has nowhere else to go but out and at this is the time of year when everyone is thinking about festivities and the upcoming new year.

For most people, it is a time of joy, but for others it can also be a time of sadness, stress and despair, and journalling can be something that will help get people through the hard times and appreciate the good.

This book is a beautifully set out way to work through the thoughts and emotions which are floating around in your head, as well as the ideas, goals and hopes so that you also can find your way to your heart and unlock the mysteries hidden within.

I’m not sure how to review this as it is a journal. I did not yet go through and complete the pages but looked at each. I’m waiting to begin when I can give it my attention. Life has been hectic and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to devote the energy it deserves. I love books like these. I’m a sucker for a journal and this one is beautiful. I enjoy this author so I knew it would be something beautiful.

A wonderful book that helps you to start a journey that allows you to know yourself better. Full of different sections that disclose goals, thoughts, and negative baggage that you may be carrying on without a real reason, is the perfect beginning to a better version of you.

Journaling is definitely a way to my heart (and note taking!). I personally enjoyed this journey through Nadia’s book. It covered many ideas that I have myself. I’ve been working on myself a lot recently, and this book came across at just the right time. It was emotional, spiritual, and therapeutic. Just let it go and feel the feelings, that’s what this was for me. While it wasn’t labeled as poetry, it seemed poetic to me. It was definitely beneficial in my healing journey – even if you’re not on a journey at all, this will still hit home and be beneficial to you!

This is a beautifully illustrated self-help book and journal. Most people are walking around with a gaping hole in their heart. We try to hide the pain, put a band-aid on it, but rarely do we do the inner work to heal our pain. Unfortunately, no one can do this for you. It is a journey you make on your own. I encourage everyone who needs healing to get this book and read through it. Do the work even if it seems silly at first.

Finding Your Heart is a journal where you can unclutter your life by writing your thoughts and feelings. It is full of positive affirmations, creative prompts, and activities that will guide you in practicing love and self care. The exercises contained throughout the book will help you feel empowered and aid in your journey to letting go of past hurt and loss. After reading through this journal and following the exercises I had a different outlook on life and felt ready to move forward past the hurt, loss, abuse, and mistreatment I endured throughout my life. This journal was powerful, inspiring, motivating, and thought provoking. The artwork throughout the journal was stunning and the quotes were relatable.

This is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated self-help journal which will help you reconnect with your own heart. “The heart is a flower. Let it bloom.”, the blurb says this journal will help you clear the clutter that over time our hearts have collected, in order to enjoy life again, and it does. The creative and unique prompts along with the activities help you to make peace with your past. Whilst the positive affirmations help keep you in the present, and look forward to and work towards a brighter future. This journal really does help you “unfurl the happy petals within your heart”, and I was definitely taken on an inspirational and liberating journey, “to self-love, self-worth, and self-healing”. The book it’s self is lovely and I enjoyed picking it up each day and journaling in it. I found the activities thought provoking and I particularly liked reading the affirmations. A self-help book/journal which really does help!

What a beautiful journey into self-discovery and seeking your heart’s desires! I would recommend purchasing the actual journal/book as you use it for yourself or as a gift to others. This journal gives one the opportunity to write their musings, collect items as part of their personal artwork and even some coloring. Journaling is such a great outlet for destressing, reconnecting and refocusing on what’s important. Focusing elements of the past and present to transform into a better future. Great to do for a few minutes each day or even as a weekend self-discovery journal. With the holidays coming up, this would be such a great gift to give to loved ones or even a random gift to someone you don’t know well.

I absolutely loved this journal! It was so accessible and just an absolutely joy to have as part of my wellbeing. I love journaling – over the past 12 months especially I have found that using something like this has enabled me to work through problems and come out the other side. The prompts in the book make you stop and think about your life and also when you are feeling like you are in a better place it’s so good to be able to look back and see how far you have come. I loved being able to fill in the beautifully illustrated pages. I loved the positive affirmations, they are so important to remind yourself of something positive everyday even when you feel like everything is negative around you.
For anyone who find it easier to write out feeling than talk about this then I would 100% recommend Finding Your Heart – it would make a fantastic part of your metal wellbeing journey!

This is a beautiful reflective journal. The illustrations are calming and gorgeous. I loved the prompts throughout the book – many made me stop and think…
My favorites are: The Power of a Plot Twist – rewrite two scenarios from life you want to have a different outcome and Heart Promise – Write or draw the beautiful things you want for yourself. Reflection and taking time to focus within ourselves is proven to improve the quality of life – this would be a great place to start.

This is a book I didn’t even realise I needed in my life till it popped up and grabbed my attention. What a wonderfully motivational book to inspire spiritual healing, spiritual growth and development, and reconnecting to humanity and our ‘hearts’.
Finding Your Heart is a journal with exercises for self-development, help, and healing. It helps ‘unclutter’ yourself spiritually, make peace with the past, while inspiring you to honour the present. With plenty of creative prompts, positive affirmations, and heart-opening activities this book is all about self-love, self-care, and prioritising ‘you’.
Beautiful!
“The Heart is a Flower. Let it Bloom.”
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nadia Han!

I have never been a huge believer of fate, but it seemed like fate when I decided to pick up this journal. I didn’t realize how much I was actually carrying that was weighing my heart and soul down. This journal and the affirmations helped to open and ease the burdens on my heart and lighten my soul so much. I loved the affirmations and I felt like they absolutely helped me to reflect on how I was feeling and process my emotions. I am very grateful that I picked up this book and I absolutely plan to send copies to some of my friends and family, because I think this is a beautiful book to help people unburden their hearts and find their way.
