Download or read book Worry Week written by Anne Morrow Lindbergh and published by Turtleback. This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "JUST THINK - we'll be on the island and we won't have a worry in the world." When her parents are forced to cut short the family's visit to their summer cottage on a Maine island, eleven-year-old Allegra Sloane and her sisters - thirteen-year-old Alice and seven-year-old Edith (AKA Minnow) - decide they'd much rather spend a week alone on the island than languish in steamy Boston. So the ever resourceful Allegra concocts a plan for herself and her sisters to surreptitiously remain behind. At first everything proceeds according to plan; the girls slip away from their parents (and avoid a visit to stuffy Aunt Edna) and the promise of freedom beckons brightly. Unfortunately, their plan has a few holes in it; when the girls return to the cottage they find it emptied of food. Allegra realizes it's up to her to provide for her impractical sisters. The bookish Alice is more interested in reading Nancy Drew stories and declaiming Shakespeare and Minnow is preoccupied with gluing seashells to every canister in the house. Forced to fend for themselves, the girls learn to live off the land, gathering berries and chanterelles in the woods and mussels from the shore. Allegra learns perhaps the most important lesson: how stressful parenting can be. But the girls' adventures in survival are only half the story; for years rumors have suggested that their house contains a hidden treasure and this is enough to send the sisters off on a treasure hunt. The treasure they find is not buried gold but a trove that binds them closer to their family's history and to New England's literary heritage. Anne Lindbergh's timeless seaside story is suffused with the carefree pleasures of childhood. Full of summer sunand mischief, set on her own summer home of North Haven, it confirms her place among the best storytellers the region has produced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two psychologists and experts in anxiety, The Worry Workbook provides powerful, evidence-based tips and tools to help you challenge your fears, build a tolerance for uncertainty, and find relief from worry. Are you plagued by persistent worry? Do you have trouble making everyday decisions? Are you a perfectionist exhausted from trying to meet unreasonably high standards? Do you procrastinate important tasks? All of these problems could be caused by the same thing: an intolerance for uncertainty in the face of new challenges or unpredictable outcomes. Everyone worries from time to time—it’s unavoidable. But chronic worrying, anxiety, and fear can also take a hefty toll on your health, happiness, and relationships. If you’re someone who worries about what might happen if you try something new, you aren’t alone! Many people lose sleep over “what ifs”—leading to difficulty making decisions, avoiding new situations, trouble with relationships, and missing out on life’s adventures! So, how can you overcome this fear and start living your best life? While there are many self-help books and workbooks that tackle worry and anxiety, The Worry Workbook is the first to provide guidance for overcoming the fear of uncertainty. With this guide, you’ll find concrete exercises and step-by-step instructions to help you identify your fear of uncertainty—whatever it is—and challenge it using powerful cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) practices like self-assessment, self-monitoring, and behavioral experiments. Chronic worrying can affect all aspects of your life. This book will help you target your fears and worries, tolerate uncertainty, and trust your own judgment and abilities in the face of doubt.

Download or read book Winning the Worry Battle written by Barb Roose and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like “God’s got this!” or “Just pray about it” only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. Whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle. Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works. This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three steps a person can take to Fight In Faith: 1) embrace God’s promises, 2) steep your heart in courage, and 3) act in obedience to God’s commands. Just as God gave His people victory over their enemies when they fought in faith, He promises to do the same for us. Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we’ll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face. Through examples of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be victorious in our fight of faith so that we not only radically transform our own lives but unequivocally impact society. A companion six-week Bible study Joshua: Winning the Worry Battle is also available for those who would like to dig deeper into the book's topic. Study components, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook with five days of lessons per week, Leader Guide, and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).

Download or read book Breaking The Worry Habit Stop Your Anxious Thoughts And Start Living written by Kelly Wallace and published by Kelly Wallace. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one likes the way constant worrying makes them feel, so why is it so difficult to stop? Because, the mind has a tricky way of making us believe that there are positive reasons to worry. On some level, we believe that it will help us avoid bad things, prepare us for the worst, or help us come up with a solution. Of course, none of this happens though. Instead, we just feel more stressed and unable to think clearly, take action, or let it go. For decades I was stuck in a worry habit. Finally, I was so tired of living in a state of anxious limbo all the time that I went to work at taming my worry-beast. It wasn't easy or instantaneous, but the rewards were well worth the effort. I feel happier and freer than ever. It's like taking a much-needed deep breath after being buried under a one-ton weight for far too long. Rather than letting your anxious thoughts spiral out of control and have them running and ruining your life, it's best to face them now and start doing something to minimize or even completely eliminate it. In this book, I want to share some of the things I experienced, the tips and exercises that helped me (and many of my clients), and offer some heartfelt guidance. I'll show you how I finally learned to stop my anxious thoughts and start living again. I want that for you too!
