Download or read book It s OK That You re Not OK written by Megan Devine and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging conventional wisdom on grief, a pioneering therapist offers a new resource for those experiencing loss When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, here is the first thing to know: there is nothing wrong with grief. “Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,” says Megan Devine. “It is a natural and sane response to loss.” So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible? In It’s OK That You’re Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we try to help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides—as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner—Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, “happy” life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. In this compelling and heartful book, you’ll learn: • Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief • How challenging the myths of grief—doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold—allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve • Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to “fix” your pain • How to help the people you love—with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to “solve” grief. Megan writes, “Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution.” Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face—in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world. It’s OK That You’re Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves—and each other—better.

Download or read book How To Beat Anxiety And Stress Less written by Shane Cuthbert and published by Shane Cuthbert. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiety feels like living life 'on guard'. Learn how to let your guard down and gain more fulfilment from your life without being held back by anxiety. The simplest way to overcome anxiety, if you want the cure-all is really just to get out of your comfort zone over and over and over again, because when we get out of that comfort zone, it literally becomes impossible to stay anxious. The irony, the conundrum here is that when we're feeling anxious, getting out of a comfort zone is actually a lot more difficult than what it ordinarily would be and it ordinarily is difficult. The problem is with acute and chronic anxiety, just the littlest tiny things sometimes can trigger yourself. These little relatively insignificant things that would ordinarily have little or no impact on us can hit us a lot harder when we're feeling anxious. As a result, that process of getting out of that comfort zone is just much more complicated and much more challenging than it ordinarily would be. It's a bit like trying to do exercise or do something physical when you're severely sunburned. When you're severely sunburned, even the process of trying to go to sleep at night can be excruciatingly painful because every toss and turn, as you're rolling over in your sleep, you feel the sheets rubbing across your skin and it's painful. Whereas ordinarily, you wouldn't notice that at all. Now, that red raw, sort of extra sensitivity and emotional pain could probably quite simply be healed purely for the power of connecting with people. If you've got good friendships, good relationships, if you've got people around you that you can feel a strong sense of connectedness to, well that alone would probably offer a fairly simple solution to help you recover through your anxieties. The problem is, again, is that irony. There's that conundrum, the catch-22, which is that with chronic and acute anxiety, the process of feeling connected to people becomes inhibited. In other words, it's a lot more difficult to feel connected to people when you're anxious. There's a couple of reasons for that by the way and I will be sharing a whole bunch of them with you in this new eBook. Whether you are suffering from some major 'acute' anxiety right now, or you have suffered from anxiety attacks and chronic anxiety for some time the cure is the same, it just takes a little more practice getting out of your comfort zone when you have been doing stress and anxiety for such a long time. Nevertheless don't stress because this book contains all the tips, tricks and mind hacks you are going to need to begin you anxiety free life!
Download or read book Insomnia written by Shane Cuthbert and published by Shane Cuthbert. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During most stages of our life, sleep is a natural process that we do without having to put in any effort, its like breathing, our body just seems to know how to do it without having to learn the steps. So for that reason, most people take it for granted. That is, until we reach a stage where sleep no longer happens as easily as we would like it to. It becomes even harder to sleep when we have been depressed, anxious or even irritable. Eventually, it can turn into a vicious cycle. For example, if we don’t get enough sleep, we go to work unrested. As a result, we have a terrible day. Because we have a terrible day, we go to bed with unresolved feelings that circulate negative thoughts around our mind. As a consequence, we struggle to sleep that night too. Thus the cycle continues. Another problematic pattern can occur when we sleep in the next day to make up for our missed sleep the night before. This disrupts the sleep cycle, making it difficult to get into a predictable routine. The hurdle we often face in getting to sleep happens when we find ourselves alone with thoughts that swirl around in our mind. Sometimes they can be seemingly pointless. But often they can be worrisome anxieties that we persistently ruminate about. The most common rumination stems from feelings of doubt in our ability to handle a situation we feel uncertain about or powerless to control. And so in order to help wind down the thoughts that keep us awake, we often turn to numbing habits. The simplest numbing habits are listening to music or staring at a screen. Some people watch movies, TV or browse the internet for hours to drown out thoughts and wind down. Some people even turn to chemical ways of numbing thoughts such as sleeping pills, drugs or alcohol. These unhealthy habits are not the way we should be treating an unhealthy problem. In this guide you will find the answers, tips, tricks and tools you need to start getting a better sleep, its all got to do with the mind.
Download or read book Toxic Positivity written by Whitney Goodman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful guide to owning our emotions—even the difficult ones—in order to show up authentically in the world, from the popular therapist behind the Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Every day, we’re bombarded with pressure to be positive. From “good vibes only” and “life is good” memes, to endless reminders to “look on the bright side,” we’re constantly told that the key to happiness is silencing negativity wherever it crops up—in ourselves and in others. Even when faced with illness, loss, breakups, and other challenges, there’s little space for talking about our real feelings—and processing them so that we can feel better and move forward. But if non-stop positivity is the answer, why are so many of us anxious, depressed, and burned out? In this refreshingly honest guide, sought-after therapist Whitney Goodman shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions. The result is more authenticity, connection, and growth—and ultimately, a path to showing up as you truly are.

Instead, you’ll find encouragement, self-care exercises, and daily tools, including: •Writing prompts to help you honor your pain and heartbreak • On-the-spot practices for tough situations—like grocery store trips, the sleepless nights, and being the “awkward guest” • The art of healthy distraction and self-care • What you can do when you worry that “moving on” means “letting go of love” • Practical advice for fielding the dreaded “How are you doing?” question • What it means to find meaning in your loss • How to hold joy and grief at the same time • Tear-and-share resources to help you educate friends and allies • The “Griever’s Bill of Rights,” and much more Your grief, like your love, belongs to you.
