Book Description

The mantra of self-esteem has by now reached us all: we hear that we should focus on our positive aspects and discover our hidden potential for greatness. Unfortunately, however, we live in the real world, and our imperfections do not go away just because we wish them to. Ending the Struggle Against Yourself takes us to the core of true self-esteem: deep confidence. This confidence can be seen in those fortunate few who have fully accepted the realities of their existence and have learned to integrate both their limitations and their potential into their entire being. With exercises, activities, and personal stories, this powerful workbook will show you how to face self-doubt squarely and, by learning its lessons, make it work for you instead of against you.

Book Description

Have you ever felt you’re not enough? Do you find you’re constantly analyzing yourself? Do you continually ask why am I anxious or depressed? Are you tired of seeing therapist after therapist and getting nowhere? Are you sick of the same old self help books filled with exercises that don’t work? Worn out with trying to find the answer to your happiness? Then Stop Struggling! The answer is so simple. It lies within yourself! “What do you mean within yourself? Where? I can’t see it. If it’s true I wouldn’t be in this mess’, I can hear you say. Fortunately, it is true. Why do I say “fortunately” because the answer is so clear when you discover it. You have just forgotten it, by looking for answers externally, always searching but never finding. This book helps you find that one answer, bringing it to your full awareness and embracing it through self love and acceptance and perhaps for the first time hearing your inner self louder than the demons that haunted you for years. In doing so you will gain your own power and not the inner critic that has continually plagued you. By losing self-doubt and building self-esteem you will become the captain and master of your soul, writing your own life script and not some outside influence that doesn’t fit with your inner being. Most of all it is you that will be loved by your own self and stand not so much as tall but as calm and peaceful in your own world that you wish to create and live ridding yourself of struggle, anxiety and depression forever.

Book Description

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Book Description

The diet industry tells us to focus on "Eat less, Move more" to change our bodies, but countless dieters end up sabotaging themselves because they are not addressing the root cause of their weight issue--their MIND. Barring certain medical conditions, if you struggle with your weight, you have a mindset that is driving the actions (or non-actions) that are resulting in the extra weight you carry. In Love Yourself Lighter, you will learn how your mind works, uncover the "why" behind your weight, and learn how to rewire your thinking to support the outcomes you desire. You will also learn how to address the emotional component of weight loss, which will help you end emotional eating and establish the kind of connected relationship with yourself that leads to long-term results. Written with the intention to be used as a self-coaching guide, Love Yourself Lighter is divided into eight sections that will lead you through the process of understanding your mind BEFORE you get to work on your body. You will develop a solid mental foundation to support the effective self-care routine you'll be inspired to create, as you begin shifting your mind from thoughts of self-loathing to thoughts of self-love through the lessons within its pages. Author and Master Certified Weight Loss Coach, Suyin Nichols, generously shares the knowledge she has gathered on her own weight loss journey, as well as the journeys of many clients she has coached over the years. Let their stories inspire you to believe that freedom from the weight struggle is absolutely possible for you when you apply these coaching tools to your life. You may think you have tried everything, but you haven't tried THIS. Since hating your way to health doesn't work, why not try a new approach? Open your mind and be willing to Love Yourself Lighter.
