“This journal is so much more than just a self-help guide, it’s a beautifully crafted interactive journey of healing, reflection, and self-discovery. From the very first page, I felt seen and supported. The prompts are thoughtful and genuinely helped me unpack some of the mental and emotional struggles I’ve been carrying for a while.
What sets this book apart is how interactive it is. It’s not just something you read, you engage with it. The journal-style format made it feel personal, like a conversation with a kind, wise friend. The added touch of the mandalas to colour in was such a calming experience and helped me slow down and be present. I found myself reaching for it on stressful days, and it always gave me something to think about or brought me a sense of peace.
This journal has honestly helped me through some very stressful times. If you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or just need a grounding tool to reconnect with yourself, I highly recommend this. It’s gentle, empowering, and truly enlightening.
Thank you to the author Odelia for creating something so special” 💛
“If ever there was a journal that felt like a warm hug for your soul (with a hint of sparkle and a wink of wisdom), Live Like You Mean It is it. Odelia Sky has created more than just a journal — it’s a bright, affirming, and refreshingly down-to-earth guide to help you shift your mindset and genuinely feel better about YOU! With positive affirmations tucked between thoughtful prompts and vibrant artwork, this journal encourages you to see the glass not just half full, but filled with Dom Perignon. My personal favourite? A quote by Deepak Chopra: “Instead of thinking outside the box, just get rid of the box.” Yes. Please. That energy is exactly what this journal gives — unboxed thinking, unboxed joy.
Odelia’s voice throughout is subtlety supportive and gently uplifting, making it ideal for anyone looking to cultivate mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a touch of daily inspiration. Whether you’re a seasoned self-care warrior or just dabbling with feel good inner work, this journal is a colourful companion on the path to peace. Highly recommended — and if this is just the first in a series, I’ll gladly clear shelf space for what’s next!”

“Working with Odelia on her A5 Journal of Personal Mastery and Transformation was an incredibly inspiring experience. While the affirmations themselves are beautifully curated from a range of powerful voices, it’s Odelia’s unique artistic vision and thoughtful design that truly bring the journal to life.
Her illustrations are gentle, soulful, and deeply intentional — each one feels like a visual meditation. They don’t just complement the affirmations, they elevate them. Odelia has a rare ability to capture emotion through art, creating a space within the journal that feels both calming and empowering.
Odelia is not only a talented creative, but a soul-led visionary. I’m so proud to have collaborated with her, and I can’t recommend this journal enough for anyone looking to reconnect with themselves on a deeper level.”

“Live Like You Mean It isn’t your typical journal. It doesn’t demand a daily ritual or try push you into neat boxes – which is one of the things I appreciate most. It’s full of thoughtful prompts, unexpected questions, and space. Space to think, to notice, to come back to yourself in your own time. There’s just enough structure to feel like a guide, but never a drill sergeant. It’s the kind of journal that respects your pace – and somehow always meets you where you are. Highly recommended for anyone craving some reflection without the pressure.”

“As someone who struggles to be in the moment and is always busy with something, Odelia’s Live like you mean it journal has added a calmness to my mornings.
Instead of waking up and going straight to my laptop for up to 12 hours a day, I now start my days with 30 – 45 minutes of Journal time with my morning coffee.
It has brought a change to my nervous system and a calmness to my mornings that was previously lacking. I now wake up, wash my face and spend 30 – 45 minutes with my journal.
Life is so busy and we are constantly being overstimulated with social media and everything happening around us. Live Like you Mean it definitely is a mindset renewal and a beautiful way to start or end your day with.”

“Live Like You Mean It is perfect for anyone looking to build a daily reflective practice towards personal mastery. Every page turned makes for a pleasant surprise and the idea of adding your personal choice of colour to the beautiful mandalas adds to its healing form of play.
I found the quotes inspiring, the exercises transformative and the overall layout easy to follow and wonderfully presented. From exploring the light and fun side of life to deep and thought-provoking ideas, this journal comes highly recommended. Mark Holgate – Tip of Africa
