One of the best things my psych ever did for me was to prescribe that I read “The Feeling Good Handbook,” by David Burns. It takes all the difficult aspects related to self-acceptance, and turns them back around, so that it seems…obvious all of a sudden.

Not that I have it perfected, by any means. The hardest thing to accept is that it’s an ongoing process.

Kind of like laundry. Sigh.

Erica – By all means, yes! I have been subtly hinting to the Twitterverse recently that I need some motivation in that area, hoping someone in the same boat might chime in. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one.

I keep seeing this theme of “Better Self-Care” come up in the lives of my friends. In fact – it’s so prevalent that I think it’s time we all do something about it. Is this something that might interest you Courtney?

I can not recommend enough reading Simon T. Bailey’s “Release Your Brilliance” – it is outstanding. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at a workshop, and after narrowing down my words of importance, I decided that my goal is to have Serenity.

Originally, I thought I was seeking Balance, but when I thought about it, Balance means things are even, steady and stable – but not moving forward.

Serenity, on the other hand, for me means finding peace in all that I do.

Although originally when I read “personal mission statement” I thought of my work mission statement. I am my brand though, so it is all wrapped together for me.
