Your Head is a Houseboat - Campbell Walker
Wonderful book, 5/5. And short - you could read it in an evening. Of course the journalling will take longer - “Cleaning isn’t a one-time act, and neither is exploring and unravelling your head.”
Before:
At the end of a hard day, you probably feel more exhausted than a fly who doesn’t quite understand the mechanics of a window. You know the fly. They can’t see the open crack in the window and, much to your vicarious frustration, they keep flying at the window pane over and over again. They deplete their energy while going nowhere. On a day where you feel like your head lost the battle, and all the stuff going in won, the fly becomes very relatable.
