The anthology also includes “snapshots,” short features on transformative language artists who make their livings and lives working with people of all ages and backgrounds to speak their truths, and change their communities.

Download or read book Boundary Boss written by Terri Cole, MSW, LCSW and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Break Free From Over-Functioning, Over-Delivering, People-Pleasing, and Ignoring Your Own Needs So You Can Finally Live the Life You Deserve! Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires or deal-breakers. Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships. The most successful and satisfied people on the planet have one thing in common: the ability to create and communicate clear, healthy boundaries. This ability is, hands down, the biggest game changer when it comes to creating a healthy, happy, self-determined life. In Boundary Boss, psychotherapist Terri Cole reveals a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and get empowered to consciously take control of every aspect of your emotional, spiritual, physical, personal, and professional life. Since becoming a Boundary Boss is a process, Cole also offers actionable strategies, scripts, and techniques that can be used in the moment, whenever you need them. You will learn: • How to recognize when your boundaries have been violated and what to do next • How your unique “Boundary Blueprint” is unconsciously driving your boundary behaviors, and strategies to redesign it • Powerful boundary scripts so in the moment you will know what to say • How to manage “Boundary Destroyers”—including emotional manipulators, narcissists, and other toxic personalities • Where you fall on the spectrum of codependency and how to create healthy, balanced relationships This book is for women who are exhausted from over-giving, overdoing, and even over-feeling. If you’re getting it all done but at the expense of yourself, give yourself the gift of Boundary Boss.
Download or read book The Busy Woman s Handbook written by Mary Hartley and published by Sheldon. This book was released on 2007 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many women go through their days with their lives permanently on hold while they 'just' deal with this and that - 'just' put a wash on, 'just' write a letter, return that phone call or run to the shops. They reach the end of the day too tired to pursue their own goals - and next morning the whole process starts all over again. This book looks at the theory and practice of time management for busy women in a sympathetic, practical way. There are numerous books on the subject but these tend to have a work angle or 'spiritual' angle - ie, how to juggle work and home demands, how to find peace. There are few books which look at the ordinary domestic/work run of the average woman, who may not be a high achiever in work but simply wants to organise her time better and enjoy her life more. This book would be differentiated by a very hands-on approach (hence 'handbook' in the title). This book looks at not how to do more in an already crowded day, but how to use the time available in the best way - that is, how to spend time on what you want to do.
