Feel the fear and do it anyway.
by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
Great book, first book that I have read in a very long time.
I highly recommend it!
Hi Bizi!! I have that book....Susan Jeffers, Ph.D. wrote it.....it is a wonderful book!! My mom and I both suffer from anxiety and have found ourselves in some situations where others would say..."Just do it"...well..it is not quite that easy, is it.(but they do not understand)
I alsoo read through a book called "The Power of Now"...I took what I needed from that book and it helped me tremendously!! It made me recognise my feelings..ie..fear....feel them and know why I am feeling them..and accept it....very hard for me to explain...but worth checking out....it helped me to stay in the now...most of our fears come from the past or fear of the future...focusing on now and redirecting thaat focus over and over leaves little room to dwell anywhere else!
It seems like you want to explore spitituality Bizi! I think that is wonderful...Hubby and I are in AA and when we got sober, over time we both found ourselves to be very spiritual....I find it such a deeply personal thing....a life changing realization bringing joy and contentness..real happiness....I have to go time for Saffs nap...will pop back in later.
Good Luck on your journey Bizi!!!!Dorrie
