Discover the power of kindness and see the transformation of the way the world responds to you and what you attract. The Power of Kindness Kindness and happiness are directly related, both kindness to yourself and kindness to others. Acts of kindness are influential and cause the release of various neurotransmitters in your brain that promote feelings of satisfaction, well-being, stimulate healing and reduce pain. Compassion also stimulates the release of a hormone called Oxytocin. Kindness works both ways. The golden rule is to treat others as you would like to be treated. Similarly, don't say something to yourself that you wouldn't say to a friend. "Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness. Kindness extended, received or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved." - Wayne Dyer The Power of Positive Affirmations Affirmations are one of the most efficient self-healing tools available. The Law of Attraction is a belief system that we attract what we are--like attracts like. The key is the ability of affirmations to intercept negative and faulty thought patterns. Backed by scientific findings called neuroplasticity, it is possible to rewire it for a more positive experience of yourself and your life. When you change, the world changes for you. By being disciplined in your daily exercises, you can significantly impact how you feel and what you attract in your life. Kindness will help you to: Be a better person and invite more positive experiences and networks into your life Improve your mood and state of being Improve your overall health and ability to heal Become a magnet for generosity and love Develop your mindfulness through being aware of your thoughts and ability to reconstruct them Strengthen your relationships, as all relationships improve with self-loving kindness Experience more kindness Begin reading now and start your journey to a happier, healthier you.

Download or read book Performed Ethnography and Communication written by D Soyini Madison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performed Ethnography and Communication explores the relationships between these three key terms, addressing the impact of ethnography and communication on the cutting edge of performance studies. Ranging from digital performance, improvisation and the body, to fieldwork and staged collaboration, this volume is divided into two main sections: "Embodied technique and practice," which addresses improvisation, devised theatre-making, and body work to consider what makes bodies move, sound, behave, mean, or appear differently, and the effects of these differences on performance; "Oral history and personal narrative performance," which is concerned with the ways personal stories and histories might be transformed into public events, looking at questions of perspective, ownership, and reception. Including specific historical and theoretical case studies, exercises and activities, and practical applications for improvisation, ethnography, and devised and digital performance, Performed Ethnography and Communication represents an invaluable resource for today’s student of performance studies, communication studies or cultural studies.

Download or read book Unremarried Widow written by Artis Henderson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A frank, poignant memoir about an unlikely marriage, a tragic death in Iraq, and the soul-testing work of picking up the pieces” (People) in the tradition of such powerful bestsellers as Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking and Carole Radziwill’s What Remains. Artis Henderson was a free-spirited young woman with dreams of traveling the world and one day becoming a writer. Marrying a conservative Texan soldier and becoming an Army wife was never part of her plan, but when she met Miles, Artis threw caution to the wind and moved with him to a series of Army bases in dusty Southern towns, far from the exotic future of her dreams. If this was true love, she was ready to embrace it. But when Miles was training and Artis was left alone, she experienced feelings of isolation and anxiety. It did not take long for a wife’s worst fears to come true. On November 6, 2006, the Apache helicopter carrying Miles crashed in Iraq, leaving twenty-six-year-old Artis—in official military terms—an “unremarried widow.” In this memoir Artis recounts not only the unlikely love story she shared with Miles and her unfathomable recovery in the wake of his death—from the dark hours following the military notification to the first fumbling attempts at new love—but also reveals how Miles’s death mirrored her own father’s, in a plane crash that Artis survived when she was five years old and that left her own mother a young widow. Unremarried Widow is “a powerful look at mourning as a military wife….You can finish it in a day and find yourself haunted weeks later” (The New York Times Book Review).

Book excerpt: A novel by the author of the viral essay sensation "The Crane Wife": When Nolan Grey receives news that his father, a once-prominent biologist, has drowned off Leap's Island, he calls on Elsa, his estranged older half-sister, to help. This, despite the fact that it was he and Elsa who broke the family in the first place. Elsa and Nolan travel to their father's field station off the Gulf Coast, where a group called the Reversalists obsessively study the undowny bufflehead, a rare duck whose loss of waterproof feathers proves, they say, that evolution is running in reverse. On an island that is always looking backward, it's impossible for the siblings to ignore their past, and years of family secrecy threaten to ruin them all over again. Yet, despite themselves, the Greys urgently trek the island to find the so-called Paradise Duck, their father's final obsession, all the while grappling with questions of nature and nurture, intimacy and betrayal, progress and forgiveness.

Book excerpt: Fresh talent CJ Hauser makes her literary debut with The From-Aways, an irreverent story of family, love, friendship, and lobsters, in the tradition of J. Courtney Sullivan’s Maine and Richard Russo’s Empire Falls. Two women come to Maine in search of family, and find more love, heartbreak, and friendship, than they’d ever imagined one little fishing town could hold. When Leah, a young New York reporter, meets Henry, she falls in love with everything about him: his freckles, green thumb, and tales of a Maine childhood. They marry quickly and Leah convinces Henry to move back to Menamon. As Leah builds a life there, reporting for The Menamon Star and vowing to be less of an emotional screw-up, the newlyweds are shocked to discover that they don’t know each other nearly so well as they thought they did. When Quinn’s mother dies, she tracks down the famous folk-singer father she’s never known, in Menamon. Scrappy and smart-mouthed, Quinn gets a job at the local paper, an apartment above the town diner, and tries to shore up the courage to meet her father. But falling in love with her roommate, Rosie, was never part of the plan. These two unruly women’s work relationship at The Star deepens into best-friendship when they stumble onto a story that shakes sleepy Menamon—and holds damaging repercussions for Leah’s husband and Quinn’s roommate both. As the town descends into turmoil, both women must decide what kind of lives they are willing to fight for.

Book excerpt: Jessica Martin is not a nice girl. As Prom Queen and Captain of the cheer squad, she'd ruled her school mercilessly, looking down her nose at everyone she deemed unworthy. The most unworthy of them all? The "freak," Manson Reed: her favorite victim. But a lot changes after high school. A freak like him never should have ended up at the same Halloween party as her. He never should have been able to beat her at a game of Drink or Dare. He never should have been able to humiliate her in front of everyone. Losing the game means taking the dare: a dare to serve Manson for the entire night as his slave. It's a dare that Jessica's pride - and curiosity - won't allow her to refuse. What ensues is a dark game of pleasure and pain, fear and desire. Is it only a game? Only revenge? Only a dare? Or is it something more? The Dare is an 18+ erotic romance novella and a prequel to the Losers Duet. Reader discretion is strongly advised. This book contains graphic sexual scenes, intense scenes of BDSM, and strong language. A full content note can be found in the front matter of the book.

Download or read book 365 Days of Positive Affirmations written by Jenny Kellett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I can't do that" or "I am not able" - sound familiar? Too many of us are stuck in a negative cycle of thought - but you know what? You are great. You are able to achieve great things. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of that. Positive affirmations have been used by psychologists since the 1920's to help boost the self-esteem of their patients. Research from Carnegie Mellon University conducted in 2013 provided the first evidence that self-affirmation can protect against the damaging effects of stress and anxiety. Millions of people have successfully used positive affirmations to aid in weight loss, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues. Scientists believe that when positive affirmations are practiced regularly, they reinforce a chemical pathway in the brain, making the connection between two neurons stronger, and therefore more likely to conduct the same message again. In 365 Days of Positive Affirmations you will be introduced to the power of positive affirmations and experience the impact they can have on your life. Move through the book at your own pace as you discover which words and phrases resonate with you on a personal level. These then become your positive affirmations. Once you have those, use them on a daily basis; use them when doubt creeps into your mind; use them to remind yourself you are capable of achieving great things. Own 365 Days of Positive Affirmations today or purchase for a friend who needs a little positivity boost.
