Download or read book How to Keep House While Drowning written by KC Davis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're tired of staring at the same mess every day, but struggling to find the time and willpower to clean it, you probably have a very good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. Designed by therapist KC Davis, this revolutionary method of cleaning and organizing helps end the stress-mess cycle. After KC Davis gave birth to her second child, she didn't fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. Between postpartum depression and ADHD, she felt numb and overwhelmed. She regained her sanity--and the functionality of her home--after one life-changing realization: You don't work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as "I can never keep up" and a chaotic kitchen as "I'm a bad mother." Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, "I am alive," and at stacks of dishes and thought, "I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row." Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to stop following perfectionist rules that don't make sense for you--like folding clothes that don't wrinkle anyway, or thinking that every room has to be clean at the same time--and to find creative solutions that accommodate your needs, pet peeves, daily rhythms, and attention span. Inside, you'll learn exactly how to customize your approach and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: -How to stop seeing care tasks as a reflection of your worth, but rather as kindnesses to your future self -How to use calming rituals to keep you from feeling overwhelmed when you look at a big mess -How to stagger tasks that are easy to procrastinate throughout the week and month -How to quickly transform a room from messy to fully functional through the "5 Things" tidying method, and other shortcuts requiring minimal energy Read this book to make home feel like a sanctuary again: where you can move with ease, where guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists have no place, and where you always have permission to rest, even when things aren't finished.

Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple tricks on body language, improving written communication, advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or shut up. Packed with ‘aha!’ and ‘oh no!’ moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand and communicate with those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension.

Download or read book Fair Play written by Eve Rodsky and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Tired, stressed, and in need of more help from your partner? Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the “shefault” parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family—and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was...underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play: a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up domestic responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner. “Winning” this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space—the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in.
Download or read book Misery to MASTERY written by Sofya Vasilyeva and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are an ACOA, your childhood was probably something like this: You grew up in a home where your father, mother, or both parents were alcoholics. Your environment was unsettling, unstable and unpredictable from day to day. You couldn't predict whether your caregiver would be drunk, sleeping, sick, or violent - or even present at all. Your home may have been loud, full of strangers and rather intense at times; and then quite sleepy and disconnected at others. Although settings and circumstances are erratic and differ vastly, primarily, you never knew what to expect. You learned to become reactive.You may have been a victim of (or witness to) verbal or physical abuse. You were certainly a witness to your parents' conflicts when those occured, and/or you were simply ignored and neglected. Abuse and conflict became a norm to you, and you learned to become reclusive and defensive.You probably had good times as well - 'honeymoon' periods where everything was relatively okay. Parents were sober, and these times were less cloudy and more carefree. Then there may have been times when you sided with your drunk parent because it was fun. You could share mutual secrets, or they allowed you to do the things you wanted, such as watch TV till late. At other times, you may have sided with your sober parent, helping them overcome their anger or frustration. You felt mature and worthy because you were able to contribute to your family in such a way, while you learned to become or attracted to (or by) the issues of others, at the expense of your own.Which, I hasten to add, you probably didn't even realize were issues at the time, or would become issues in adulthood.In short, the erratic and unpredictable nature of the childhood years of growing up in an alcoholic home has been universally identified as the 'culprit' for the myriad of unwanted psychological symptoms in adulthood.Because help is at hand, and a better life, free from the limitations and encumbrances of ACOA Syndrome awaits you at the end of your journey through this book.This book is for adults who have grown up in homes where drugs and alcohol were abused. It is written by Sofya Vasilyeva, Psy.D. Candidate and practising psychotherapist who had personally struggled with the issues of growing up in such an environment and has developed a system to help ACOAs after helping many people through her one on one sessions. It is an eight chapter book, each chapter will help you deepen your understanding of your condition and then provide exercises to help you challenge your thoughts and connect deeper with your emotions. It is based on research and Vasilyeva's collected experience with helping ACOAs. This book gives you hands-on tools and nuanced information to take power into your hands and conquer the ACOA syndrome. This is a no-nonsense approach to help you understand how your upbringing harms you today, break out of toxic family patterns and let go of past hurts. This book addresses childhood trauma, attachment styles, relationships, communication patterns, self-esteem, emotional salience techniques and more. It is designed in a way that each reader will go through an individualized journey that is fit for their personal history and struggles. Wishing you a beautiful journey
