Messy Musicians and Creatives Chaos to Compassion Day 9 Books

Day 9 How many books have you got?



Some of us have too many books.. Piled up next to the bed? Piled up downstairs where you like to sit? How many bookshelves in how many rooms, full? Which books have you had for a long time and still not got around to reading? Which have you started and not finished? As a start today I’m going to suggest either that you see if you can release 5 books today, or spend 5 mins (using a timer) to go through your books.


Whichever approach you decide, I suggest putting a ruler in between, pick each book up in turn, actually handle each one, not just look on the shelf. (Then when you come back to the task, perhaps tomorrow, or next week, or another day soon you’ll see where you got to) Have a box ready so if it can go, it goes straight into it.


Ask yourself when did you last read/ refer to it, when do you think you will ever read it (again)? Feel into your body, are you ready to let go?
