⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was AMAZING! Thank you Elizabeth Dingley!
“Like many other women, I often find that my energies are most often directed outward, in nurturing and caring for those around me, while often neglecting my own self-care. I knew I had to be kinder to myself, but how does one begin? In my search for a remedy, I’ve found it daunting at times to find a method or philosophy that works with my lifestyle, and how I think, without investing more time and effort than I truly have to give. This book may have solved that dilemma. Each chapter is a concise introduction to one method of stress management, with clear explanations of its benefits and methodology, with enough information to help the reader decide if the method might be worth researching further.
I found myself especially drawn to Tapping for Turbulent Times by the Rev. Jennifer Elizabeth Moore. Having tried tapping/EFT once a few years ago (and being utterly amazed at the results,) I’ve always wanted to revisit it as a way to manage the effects of past trauma. The author gave a good overview of the technique, how it has helped her, and how one can use tapping as a form of self-care. Her simple, easy to follow instructions guided me through a solo tapping session during an especially difficult week. The effects were both subtle and powerful; I definitely plan to invest more time learning about the technique, based on that experience.
I was also drawn to The Seven Second Mindshift, by Donna Blevins. Calm on demand? Seems too good to be true, but give it a chance, like I did. It’s a neat little technique, easy enough to implement, it works, and she explains in some detail why it works. I’ve found myself practicing it during the day, and I really do feel a difference in just a few seconds.
If I had a time machine, I’d give a copy of this book to myself, age 25. I definitely have a feeling I’ll end up buying multiple copies of and gifting them to friends this year.”
