Unmired: Transforming Struggle Into Serenity Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 55 ratings

Mired is being stuck in a rut, locked in a struggle. Flowing without resistance is its opposite. Kim Smith spent her life mired in a quiet struggle until she learned to flow. In 2013, she faced her 40th birthday frustrated, isolated, and obese. Development of a consistent fasting practice changed the flow of her life. The physical portion of her transformation is documented in Unbelievable Freedom, a motivational memoir she co-authored with her husband about their combined 200-pound weight loss. That book was warmly received and led to a growing online community of followers, many of whom noted that Kim's mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation was more dramatic than her appearance change. This inspired her to compile a series of gradual illuminations she experienced along her journey. Starting with Trust Your Body, proceeding to Mobilize Your Mindset and Honor Your Spirit, and finishing with Enjoy Your Life, there are 52 contemplations offered for a yearlong reflection process. Each contemplation has an accompanying dot grid page to invite writing, drawing, or both.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kim Smith began her writing career as co-author of the bestselling weight loss memoir Unbelievable Freedom: How We Transformed Our Health & Happiness With Intermittent Fasting (2018). Her real story, however, isn’t about a physical transformation but a full spiritual transfiguration. Kim’s late grandmother invited her into miraculous possibility with just 3 words, “Enjoy Your Life”, which inspired the title of Enjoy Your Life: Pursuing my Grandmother’s Three Word Legacy. The mission of Unbelievable Freedom Books is to pass these three words on to freedom-seeking readers everywhere.

You have the nuts and bolts of Intermittent Fasting down. Maybe you have read Delay Don't Deny and Feast Without Fear by Gin Stephens and Unbelievable Freedom by Kim and Ryan Smith too. So what's next? Unmired is next! IF has given you the gift of health and time and now you can use some of that time to work on your stuff and fully explore and expand your freedom. Unmired offers you a contemplation a week for 52 weeks to help you open up your mind and your life to all that is there waiting for you when you let old patterns go and learn to live in the now. Kim offers you the illuminations she has found through her fasting practice, a bit about how they have impacted her life and a offer for you to contemplate how they may relate to your life. I am enjoying the weekly contemplations in this beautiful little book and I love the space beside each contemplation where I can doodle, make lists or color while I think through each week's contemplation. Beginning fasters will find this book useful too on their journey. This book is especially lovely for experienced fasters looking for the next step!

The most important thing that I'd like to say about this book is this: A DIET changes the say you look, but a FAST changers the way you SEE. Kim Smith, an accomplished writer, has compiled a group of essays in which she explains her personal ways of SEEING things has changed. Her delightful stories illuminate her way of being in the world as well as how her thoughts were shaped by words her Gram uttered as she was leaving this world. This is a piece written from the heart. You may read a passage or contemplation quickly, but it will percolate inside of you for days. Her description of the Faster's Way is long overdue because of the plethora of books about the physical benefits of Intermittent Fasting but so little about the self-development and personal growth such a lifestyle affords Worth every penny and every minute you spend engaged in the book. I have gifted the book and recommended it freely.
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019
This is an interesting book for those who are on the IF journey, which goes into the emotional rather than the physical effects of IF. The format is one page per topic, and there are 52 topics, so you could ponder one per week for a year. Or, if you're like me, just read it through once then go back and ponder later. Some interesting "food for thought" including many things I hadn't thought about (yet). This is a book geared more for women; I doubt many guys would get into it as much (which is not to say they don't go through the same transformation).

My only complaint about it is that the text is on the left side (blank page on the right side for adding your own thoughts) ; the right margin is too small and the words run into where the binding is and it's a little hard to see all the words.

I love the thought that there is more to life then Intermittent Fasting to only lose weight. There is so much more! there are physical changes, and emotional and spiritual. It's a whole person makeover! Reading Unmired has helped me to see that there is more within me that needs to change and grow, than just losing body fat. Unmired has many layers to it, and I love reading it, and learning and growing, while becoming Unmired throughout the process. Kim also has a whole set of workbooks that are part of the Unbelievable Freedom series, that help you understand more about yourself.

This book read my mail, so to speak. I felt like every subject was so relevant to my life circumstances, and that I was given real tools to make positive direction changes in my way of processing events and emotions. The format was really good as well; I could digest a daily nugget and chew on it and think about it for a while. I know I will re read this book many times in the future just to keep this authentic vibe going.
Thanks Kim and keep in writing!

52 weeks of contemplation.... Kim Smith poured her heart and soul into these pages.

This word girl is in my tribe. 💖

We have so much in common... A deep connection with our grandma... A 40th birthday that sent us into a tail spin of change... Weight/health issues that brought us to fasting...

I will follow her to the ends of the earth, just because her words flow so easily to inspire and lift up.

Dawn.

This book by Kim Smith is so inspiring. It gives me hope I CAN do IF, and while I am on this journey, what there is to gain from it. How life can really be transformed. My goal is to be more authentic, and have real joy while shedding pounds. I like having the book to refer to when I need it. Thanks so much for this gift :)

Kim has a calming, reassuring "voice" in her writing and I just love her style. She has been through struggle and lived to tell about it and help each of us quiet strugglers along our path to realize serenity. I love this book.
