Download or read book Awakening from Anxiety written by Connie L. Habash and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use this spiritual guide to equip yourself with the tools needed to tear down anxiety and build inner peace. Spiritual people often find that their own expectations of living a life dedicated to a higher power makes them more susceptible to high-functioning anxiety. Sometimes, traditional relaxation techniques either do not work, don’t last, or, in some cases, actually increase their anxiety. Psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and interfaith minister Rev. Connie L. Habash has helped hundreds of spiritual people overcome fear and anxiety, regain happiness, and feel calmer. In over twenty-five years as a counselor helping spiritual people overcome anxiety, Rev. Connie has taught that it takes more than chanting mantras, stretching, or relaxation techniques to calm anxiety. It requires a transformation in perception, moment-to-moment body awareness, and a conscious response to thoughts and emotions. Awakening from Anxiety provides valuable psycho-spiritual tools to deepen spiritual awakening and calm fears:Learn what anxiety is and when it becomes a problemUnderstand the six mistakes spiritual people make that increase anxietyDiscover the seven keys to a more calm, confident, courageous lifeKnow how to break through the old patterns of stress, worry, and fear into a new perception of your true selfExplore spiritual principles and yoga philosophy to cultivate inner peace If you enjoyed Stop Anxiety from Stopping You and First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, Awakening from Anxiety will take your healing and renewal from anxiety to the next level. “A book I will recommend to many for both practical advice and spiritual insights for handling stress, worry, and anxiety.”?Becca Anderson, author of Prayers for Calm

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a young adult is a critical stage of your life. It can affect your happiness in your thirties and forties, and right up to the final stages of your life. The most important decisions, such as which career to pursue, obtaining university qualifications, and meeting your life partner, occurs at this stage of your life. I have spent eight years of my life being obsessed about what makes young people successful and happy. I have also read many books to try and figure this out. This book is a compilation of answers in the form of the tools that I have used to change my life as a rural boy living in poor conditions. I wrote this book for young adults who want to change their lives from being ordinary to being extraordinary. It will give you the tools that you need to motivate yourself, to take action and pursue your dreams. Everyone who has achieved success has their own unique individuality that enables them to rise above the crowd and differentiate themselves. It is therefore important for you to understand how you can use your unique individuality to shine; and to create something unique to share with the world that only you can give. For this reason, Part I of the book is dedicated to a better understanding of yourself and using your individuality to become, what I call, Kick-S. Everyone who is or has been successful has had people along their journey that provided support, guidance, and assistance. I refer to these people as your A-Team. In order for you to be successful, it is important to have the ability to influence your A-Team. I have therefore provided you with tools in Part I of the book which you can utilize to influence the people who will be key in your journey to success, so that they are willing to support you on your journey. First survive, then thrive!! They say you should not judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes. I believe this with all my heart. I speak to young adults from all backgrounds: rich, and poor, black and white. Many of these young adults face immense challenges. Drug addiction. Teenage pregnancies. Alcohol abuse. Absent parents. Mental illness. Bullying. Crime. Poverty. Career problems. Relationship problems. Depression. Today, it is not easy being a young adult. I cannot judge these young people. Only they can truly understand what they are living, their situations and the way they deal with them. I cannot. I have not lived their lives. I have not walked a mile in their shoes. Therefore, I do not pretend to know everything. I do not give youngsters all the answers to all their problems. What I talk about are my own experiences while growing up: my problems, my struggles to overcome them, and the rewards that awaited me when I succeeded. Moreover, I talk about what I have learnt along the way. That success and strength is within each one of us. We just need to know how to harness it, and how to use it to change our lives and our world. Through my story, I show young adults that at the end of those long, hard miles, there can be happiness, fulfilment, and even riches. First, however, they have to survive.

Download or read book Everything Happens for a Reason written by Kate Bowler and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A meditation on sense-making when there’s no sense to be made, on letting go when we can’t hold on, and on being unafraid even when we’re terrified.”—Lucy Kalanithi “Belongs on the shelf alongside other terrific books about this difficult subject, like Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air and Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal.”—Bill Gates NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE Kate Bowler is a professor at Duke Divinity School with a modest Christian upbringing, but she specializes in the study of the prosperity gospel, a creed that sees fortune as a blessing from God and misfortune as a mark of God’s disapproval. At thirty-five, everything in her life seems to point toward “blessing.” She is thriving in her job, married to her high school sweetheart, and loves life with her newborn son. Then she is diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. The prospect of her own mortality forces Kate to realize that she has been tacitly subscribing to the prosperity gospel, living with the conviction that she can control the shape of her life with “a surge of determination.” Even as this type of Christianity celebrates the American can-do spirit, it implies that if you “can’t do” and succumb to illness or misfortune, you are a failure. Kate is very sick, and no amount of positive thinking will shrink her tumors. What does it mean to die, she wonders, in a society that insists everything happens for a reason? Kate is stripped of this certainty only to discover that without it, life is hard but beautiful in a way it never has been before. Frank and funny, dark and wise, Kate Bowler pulls the reader deeply into her life in an account she populates affectionately with a colorful, often hilarious retinue of friends, mega-church preachers, relatives, and doctors. Everything Happens for a Reason tells her story, offering up her irreverent, hard-won observations on dying and the ways it has taught her to live. Praise for Everything Happens for a Reason “I fell hard and fast for Kate Bowler. Her writing is naked, elegant, and gripping—she’s like a Christian Joan Didion. I left Kate’s story feeling more present, more grateful, and a hell of a lot less alone. And what else is art for?”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and president of Together Rising
