Listify: List and Journal Your Way to Balance, Self-Discovery, and Self-Care by Marina Greenway
Lists help us to remember our tasks, round up the cool movies and books we’ve been wanting to check out, plan our self-care routines, and more. List-writing activities can calm us, let us explore our memories, and get all of those things-to-remember on paper. With dozens of lists, journal prompts, and quotes to keep you inspired, Listify invites you to flex this superpower and takes you on a journey of self-exploration. This book is a unique approach to journaling - in list format. If you've ever been intimidated by the idea of writing out journals, or you're the kind of person who finds peace in lists, this is a great book for you. View this book on Amazon!

Postcards to the Universe: Harness the Universe’s Power and Manifest Your Dreams by Melisa Caprio
This is an interesting book, with the idea that you can combine art and your desires to ask the Universe for what you want. While it isn't something I completely get behind (I don't think the Universe is an ATM, or the world would be quite different), I can see the idea and the success of positive thinking, to some extent (but you have to be open to the ways that your desires might come true in unexpected ways). Caprio is here to foster that state of mindfulness and spirituality through photography, postcard art, written messages, and affirmations from others who are living their greatest desires.
