Hello and welcome to the Nancy Ray Book Club where once a month I share a book I'm reading and loving

and my three biggest takeaways from that book. You can join in on this book club at any point by

heading over to Nancyray.com slash book club. Now this month's book is Atomic Habits by James Clear.

It has been highly recommended to me for such a long time. And I got to say,

it's lived up to its hype. I really, really enjoyed it. And it was hard to narrow down my takeaways.

Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have habits. Good or bad, we all have habits.

And sometimes we're aware of these habits, but sometimes

they're such a normal part of our lives. We don't even know that we're doing it. We're not even

aware that we have this habit. This book allowed me to take a step back, kind of look at my life

and analyze the things that I do, my habits, things I do every day

in and out. And more than just that, it taught me how to maximize the good habits, even create new

good habits, and minimize my bad habits, something I think we could all benefit from doing on a regular basis.

One more thing I wanted to add before we jump into this episode is that next month,

the whole month of May, is May is for Mamas.

That's where I dedicate every episode to all the Mamas out there listening.

I'm really excited for what's to come. I also wanted to give

you a heads up. My photo legacy system course is going on sale. So make sure you listen to the end

of this episode to get all the details. You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 112.

Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that is where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well,

which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life.
