I ordered a copy of this book as soon as I could, and the wait to receive and read it was so serendipitously worth it! At the end of two years of exhaustion from global pandemic lockdowns, this is the book that I knew I needed, but exactly why I didn’t know it at the time. I have followed, from afar, Shelly’s journey of creating her mindfulness practice and community from the sand sessions in Florida, with awe and inspiration. I wanted this book to help me learn her tricks and tips to use a mindful approach as I emerge from lockdown exhaustion, to do things differently as I approach my work, my community, my family. Shelly’s story of her journey - smooth and bumpy- of using mindfulness to overcome personal and community challenges, is doing just that. It is helping me understand her mindset to do what she has done for others and for herself. On so many levels I will refer to certain chapters or sentences over and over. Shelly’s writing style is helpful and practical little prompts to help me think about how I can do things differently, without telling me to think differently. It is equal parts confronting and supportive! I especially love how she speaks about taking care of oneself, without it being about oneself. Acknowledging your success doesnt need to come at the expense of acknowledging those around you who have helped along the way, even those who you will never meet. Another insight that was great to read is how generosity for others, while can be the most important gift to yourself, it cant be at the expense of yourself and yet it shouldn’t be about yourself. As you can see I highly recommend it, as a practical guide but also as a great read, Shelly’s own story woven throughout the book is enough on its own to make it a great book.

I've been sitting with this book for some time now. Reading it, re-reading it and really soaking it in.
Shelly Tygielski' "Sit Down to Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change the World" is a must read for well...basically everyone.
In a society that has historically prided itself on busyness over impact there is no time like the present to take a deep breath and realign with yourself, your values , your intentions and community .
Highly recommended reading for all, especially those in leadership and those who are looking to be more impactful in their work and life .
