Download or read book Silly Me A Path to Self acceptance written by Steven Howard and published by Howard Activity, LLC. This book was released on 2021-10-30 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The declaration, "Silly me!" came to me several years ago during a time of intense inner work when I was still dealing with a driver behavior and a false belief centered around the idea that I had to do things perfectly. In my world of growing up, there seemed to be a formula for getting along with others and being happy and it was a very simple one: Please other people! And do as you're told! But, as it turned out, it wasn't so simple a task as I'd thought it would be because, try as I did, I rarely felt safe around the people I was attempting to please. And I can't say that I ever felt "happy" as I currently know that to be. Today I would probably choose another term for it, like content or at peace or joy-filled. Or maybe free. Free to be who I AM, warts and all.

Download or read book The Path to Self Love and World Domination written by Heidi Green and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 7-step path to manifest and strengthen self-love, and quiet our inner critic. A book with such a powerful title requires a few qualifiers. Spoiler alert: reading this book won’t actually result in actual world domination. However, the author will set you on the path of dominating your own world, being the master of your destiny, and creating the life of your dreams. This is not a lofty promise. Although it is a big undertaking, it’s also attainable! The Path to Self-Love and World Domination is written by licensed psychologist and trauma therapist, Dr. Heidi Green. She reflects on her own journey from insecurity and self-loathing to emotional recovery and self-love, and shares how so many people appear stuck in their own way. She’ll teach you why you struggle with self-doubt and criticism, and take you on a journey to change the way you think, feel, and interact with the world. You will gain an understanding of why you have a critical inner voice, as well as how to move past it and fully love yourself. The odyssey of self-love is far more complicated than it may seem. It requires more than just holding yourself in high regard, taking candlelit baths, or practicing your favorite yoga poses. It involves understanding your struggles and weaknesses through the lens of compassion, and putting to rest the self-defeating notions that keep you stuck. To help overcome the inner critic in all of us, Dr. Green will guide you through a 7-step path to manifest and strengthen self-love. She’ll teach you to nurture and mature your inner child, reject unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and restructure the way you respond to yourself and the world. Only then will you be prepared to engage in productive and meaningful life changes that will finally stick! Finally, you will be given your World Domination tool kit: 6 traits that must be cultivated for a truly awesome you. This book will take you on a journey to discover what self-love is, what it isn't, how to find it, and why having it is the most important element to your life's happiness. You’ll learn how to speak to yourself with kindness, reject unhelpful thoughts, and other powerful tools to let self-love reign supreme in your life.

Download or read book I Know I m In There Somewhere written by Helene Brenner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-05-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on her work with over a thousand women across the country, psychologist Helene G. Brenner has learned that women feel the impulse to accommodate, adapt and mold themselves to serve others at their own expense. Her solution is an invigorating new approach to women's psychology. The key to transformation, she explains, is not self-improvement, but self-acceptance—affirming and validating what we truly feel and experience and who we already are. Dr. Brenner shows women how to discover and express what they truly want and value, guiding you toward your own Inner Voice. I Know I’m In There Somewhere will show you: - How to embrace, rather than fix, the Inner Voice that has been there all along - How to distinguish the Outer Voices (the expectations of the people around you) from Your Inner Voice (the voice of your true self that goes beyond intuition and guides you wisely towards what is right for you) - What to do when you feel that the essence of who you are is being stifled by external demands and expectations

Download or read book Men Are Stupid written by Richard D. Wright, Jr. and published by King's Edge Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’ve lost your ex, not all hope is lost! In fact, you have every chance in the world to get your former partner back. And this book is one of the essential keys to doing it. You may have been advised to follow your heart if you wish to have the person you love back at your side. While that’s certainly good advice, it is not all you should do. At the end of the day, you need to think of reconciliation as a goal. If you have a goal, then the next thing you need is a plan and a strategy. That means planning, considering the pros and cons, and carefully weighing your options. However, with this book you’re in the best position to get your ex back – and it starts the very moment you start reading and implementing what I teach you.This book will explain some very simple tactics that can give your ex a completely different view of the person you are and get her to fall in love with you all over again. But more importantly, I will help you determine exactly why you lost her in the first place, how to shift your focus from her onto you to break the energy attachment, and show you how to keep her this time by actually becoming a better man and being her best option. While it may seem completely counter-intuitive but focusing on yourself is the critical first step in getting your ex back and keeping her.This book will start from square one and lead you through all the steps to getting the woman you’ve been after, whether it’s your ex or someone even better. We cover the essentials to developing yourself so that you are attractive to women. How to determine what type of woman is best for you. How to pull off the romance she so desperately wants. And most importantly to your success, how to build your own self-confidence so that you are comfortable doing anything. If you master the techniques presented in this book, you will have all of the tools necessary to make women find you irresistible.I titled the book “Men Are Stupid” because so many men spend so much time and energy trying to play games and manipulate women all in an effort to “trick” her and get her into bed. I said men are stupid because they fail to realize that women are incredible creatures and are just as, if not more, sexual and sensual than men. They want sex just as much as we do. You don’t need to play games or tricks. You just simply need to understand that women get turned on from the inside out. You must seduce her mind first, then everything else will open.The best way to find and maintain a relationship with a woman is to first understand how she operates, what turns her on, and how to keep her interested. Once you understand these key points you will unlock the secrets of seducing a woman. The first thing to do is to get inside her mind, and determine her inner workings. Once you truly understand how she works, everything else will fall into place.Good Luck in your journey!

Download or read book The Strength of Self Acceptance written by Michael E. Bernard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​ Self-acceptance is recognized in diverse schools of Christian and Eastern theology as well as in various schools of counseling and psychotherapy (e.g., Humanistic, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy) as a major contributor to mental health, life satisfaction and wellness. A review of the professional literature reveals there is no text that spells out how different theologies, theories of personality and approaches to counseling and therapy conceptualize self-acceptance and how this concept is interrelated to other aspects and constructs of spirituality and psychological functioning (e.g., flexibility, mindfulness). Additionally, the field of positive psychology, which studies the character strengths and virtues that help individuals to experience well-being and to flourish, has largely ignored the concept of self-acceptance.

Download or read book Dear Molly written by Nitki's Dad and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the inspiration that empowers us and the understanding that it can come from anyone, anywhere, and at any time and it may move us in ways that once seemed unimaginable. The universe controls the timing, no matter how impatient we may be; and all we can do is follow the path, listen, look, and feel our way through as the veil is lifted, bringing the picture into focus. When I first saw the YouTube video of "Husavik" ("My Hometown"), Molly's energy and physical beauty hit me like a lightning bolt. I would feel a connection to her songs; but her powerful voice reached deep within, reminding me that life was to be lived, not merely existed. The smile in her eyes reminded me of the radiant beauty and majesty of the northern lights; her performance at the Oscars preshow sealed it for me. I felt the full force of that lightning strike. I sensed her strong internal strength watching the interview she gave about her story, admiring it even though I don't understand the Swedish language. I was captivated by it all, but there was more. Don't dismiss a gift because the packaging isn't what you think it should be. Open your eyes, heart, mind, and soul, nurturing them all. Focus on the next step and motivate yourself to move in your heart's direction, find it, reach for it, embrace it, and share it with others to spread a little light like ripples in a pond. I do not know your name yet, but I am making this affirmation long before we ever meet or recognize each other's light and energy. I want the reason to be for a season and for that season to last beyond our lifetime, and I hope you will feel the same.

Download or read book The Body Is Not an Apology written by Sonya Renee Taylor and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body Is Not an Apology The Power of Radical Self-Love Against a global backdrop of war, social upheaval, and personal despair, there is a growing sense of urgency to challenge the systems of oppression that dehumanize bodies and strip us of our shared humanity. Rather than feel helpless in the face of oppression, world-renowned activist, performance poet, and author Sonya Renee Taylor teaches us how to turn to the power of radical self-love in her new book, The Body Is Not an Apology. Radical self-love is the guiding framework that transforms the learned self-hatred of our bodies and the prejudices we have about other people's bodies into a vision of compassion, equity, and justice. In a revolutionary departure from the corporate self-help and body-positivity movement, Taylor forges the inextricable bond between radical self-love and social justice. The first step is recognizing that we have all been indoctrinated into a system of body shame that profits off of our self-hatred. When we ask ourselves, "Who benefits from our collective shame?" we can begin to make the distinction between the messages we are receiving about our bodies or other bodies and the truth. This book moves us beyond our all-too-often hidden lives, where we are easily encouraged to forget that we are whole humans having whole human experiences in our bodies alongside others. Radical self-love encourages us to embark on a personal journey of transformation with thoughtful reflection on the origins of our minds and bodies as a source of strength. In doing this, we not only learn to reject negative messages about ourselves but begin to thwart the very power structures that uphold them. Systems of oppression thrive off of our inability to make peace with bodies and difference. Radical self-love not only dismantles shame and self-loathing in us but has the power to dismantle global systems of injustice-because when we make peace with our bodies, only then do we have the capacity to truly make peace with the bodies of others
