Download or read book The Missing Handbook to Motherhood written by Ms. Allana Pratt and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-11-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To me, motherhood is one of the most challenging and most rewarding adventures I've ever taken. One thing seems to be at the core of it all... when mama's happy, everybody's happy. Yet that's WAY easier said than done when the to-do list never ends, circumstances keep changing and we tend to put everyone else's needs before ours. When I've been empty inside, I didn't want to even go for a pedicure if it meant dealing with someone rolling their eyes or me feeling guilty for leaving my son. Even though I was exhausted, at least I felt valuable to be wanted. Yet I was crunchy and nagging when I was operating on fumes. So I learned how to navigate Mom Time, dissolve the guilt, fill up in ways that made me more playful, patient and present. My son started to behave better, I was no longer 'crunchy', I found my libido again and now I'm the sexiest I've ever been in my mid 40's. I used to be such a victim to circumstance, jealous of other moms who had help (husbands or hired help) and made excuses why I wasn't creating the life I loved. I share in this book how to clear away everything that's holding you back from having the self-confidence, juiciness, patience and joy that's your birthright as a woman... whether you're single or married. You are the seed and soul of your family. You are so potent and magnificent when you are 'full.' I will show you how to be overflowing with radiance (most of the time!), laugh when things fall apart, feel held when you are uncertain and be gloriously gracious for how well your kids thrive when YOU thrive. The truth is the best thing you could EVER do for your kids is to let them see a thriving woman of self-honor, confidence and courage. This gives them permission to live their best life too! And the worst thing we unconsciously do is give up our Light, then they think it's somehow their fault, and carry that burden into the world. Crème rises to the top, luscious woman!!! Lift you, lift your family, lift the world... with peace, power and pleasure being alive! This is just the beginning... for it does get better and better! If you put your oxygen mask on first. Deliciously, vulnerably and potently, Allana "My sensuality, my 'groove' wasn't really important to me and until now, I didn't give it much credence because I gave outside circumstances more importance than the inside stuff. People say I look softer. My husband who I've known for 16 years said, 'You haven't aged a bit, you're actually prettier. I don't know what you're doing sweetie, but keep doing it.' And my kids are somehow more cuddly. Thank you Allana." -Peggy

Book excerpt: A supportive guide that gives busy moms permission to care for themselves, from a popular parenting blogger with one million Facebook followers "Would you rather have a perfect mom, or a happy one?" This is the question that popular parenting blogger Rebecca Eanes couldn't get out of her head. So she asked her school-age son, who didn't miss a beat in responding: "A happy one." Thus began a journey of reflection and repair work, as Rebecca asked herself an even harder question: How can I rediscover everyday joy amid the chaos of schedules, homework, and housework--not to mention the guilt, comparisons, loneliness, fear, and overwhelm? In other words, how can I become a happy mom again? In this relatable guide, Rebecca walks readers through the process of getting back to happy, for your own sake as well as your family's. Going beyond the usual advice about finding balance, embracing gratitude, and not sweating the small stuff, her hard-won advice is written by a busy mom in the trenches. Topics include: * Letting go of perfection (or anything close to it) * Making peace with the past--including the pain of disappointment, loss, and the roads not taken * Tuning in to your own wants and needs--and tuning out the comparisons, "shoulds," and noise of social media * Finding magic in the mess * Choosing joy over fear and worry * Creating healthy boundaries so that everyone in your life can thrive (including you!) Filled with fresh insights, simple strategies, and aha moments, this is that rare book you'll want to read, share, and return to for a booster shot of confidence, connection, and joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sanity-saving guide “offers practical ways to help you let go of ‘mom guilt’ in order to become a happier, healthier woman” (Parent & Child). Now with wellness tips and exercises! The pressure on women today has pushed many American mothers to the breaking point. It feels as if “doing your best” is never enough to please everyone, and the demands mothers place on themselves are both impossible and unrealistic. Now Meg Meeker, M.D., critically acclaimed author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, puts her twenty-five years’ experience as a practicing pediatrician and counselor into a sound, sane approach to reshaping the frustrating, exhausting lives of so many moms. Mothers are expected to do it all: raise superstar kids, look great, make good salaries, volunteer for everything, run errands, keep a perfect house, be the perfect wife. Single mothers often have even more demands—and less support. In this rallying cry for change, Dr. Meeker incorporates clinical data and her own experience raising four children to show why mothers suffer from the rising pressure to excel and the toll it takes on their emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Too many mothers are increasingly lonely, anxious, depressed, and unhappy with themselves, refusing to let themselves off the hook. Here, Dr. Meeker has identified the 10 most positive habits of mothers who are healthy, happy, and fulfilled. The key is to embrace a new perspective and create real joy and purpose by utilizing such core habits as • making friends with those who know the meaning of friendship • finding out what money can buy (and what it cannot) • lightening the overload—and doing less more often • discovering faith and learning how to trust it • taking some alone time and reviving yourself Mothers, it’s time to view the unconditional trust that you see in your children’s eyes when they take your hand or find your face in a crowd as a mirror of your own wonder and worth. You are the light that shines in their lives, the beacon that guides them. By implementing the key strategies in Dr. Meeker’s book, you can be happy, hopeful, and a wonderful role model. You can teach your children to be the very best they can be—and isn’t that still the most precious reward of motherhood?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
