Ordinary time : lessons learned while staying put / Freeman, Emily P.

In Ordinary Time, Annie Jones reflects on her unexpected life in a small town, running an independent bookstore, instead of the grand adventures she once envisioned. Over the years, she stayed in her marriage, her small-town life, and loyal to her faith, despite the world around her shifting toward digital and fast-paced living. As time passed, Annie had an epiphany: staying put, living quietly, and embracing the ordinary can be a radical and fulfilling act. Challenging the idea that only loud, adventurous lives matter, she finds joy and meaning in the small, everyday moments. Ordinary Time celebrates the power of staying where we are, appreciating the beauty and growth that can come from embracing a simple, rooted life.

The book of possibilities : words of wisdom on the road to becoming / Quammie, Bee

"Bee Quammie invites women and girls everywhere to embrace the power of possibility in this intimate, powerful, and inspiring collection. A successful Black woman in media, Bee Quammie often finds herself being cast as a role model for young women -- and especially women of colour. But Bee has never quite been comfortable with the idea of being a role model for the next generation. Who is she to suggest anyone live the way she has? Follow a certain path? Who says the path she followed is the "right" one -- that there even is a "right" one? When Bee became a mother, the weight of responsibility became even heavier, and she spent hours agonizing over how she could be the guide her girls needed without getting in their way or imposing her agenda. That's when Bee decided she needed a new model for understanding the role she should play for her children -- and anyone else who might be looking to her for inspiration. Instead of a role model, Bee prefers to think of herself as a possibility model -- one example among many of how to live one's life. But even more important, Bee wants to show her daughters and other young people like them how ripe with possibility their lives really are, how many opportunities and avenues there are to explore. There is so much richness to be found in life, even if you end up somewhere that feels unconventional or unplanned. In The Book of Possibilities, Bee shows us how small acts of bravery and paying careful attention to our inner voice can open up a world of opportunity and lead to a fulfilling life"--

How to be enough : self-acceptance for self-critics and perfectionists / Hendriksen, Ellen

"Are you your own toughest critic? Learn to be good to yourself with this clear and compassionate guide. Do you set demanding standards for yourself? If so, a lot likely goes well in your life: You might earn compliments, admiration, or accomplishments. Your high standards and hard work pay off. But privately, you may feel like you're falling behind, faking it, or different from everybody else. Your eagle-eyed inner quality control inspector highlights every mistake. You try hard to avoid criticism, but criticize yourself. Trying to get it right is your guiding light, but it has lit the way to a place of dissatisfaction, loneliness, or disconnection. In short, you may look like you're hitting it out of the park, but you feel like you're striking out. This is perfectionism. And for everyone who struggles with it, it's a misnomer: perfectionism isn't about striving to be perfect. It's about never feeling good enough. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen -- clinical psychologist, anxiety specialist, and author of How to be enough -- is on the same journey as you. In How to be enough, Hendriksen charts a flexible, forgiving, and freeing path, all without giving up the excellence your high standards and hard work have gotten you. She delivers seven shifts -- including from self-criticism to kindness, control to authenticity, procrastination to productivity, comparison to contentment -- to find self-acceptance, rewrite the Inner Rulebook, and most of all, cultivate the authentic human connections we're all craving. With compassion and humor, Hendriksen lays out a clear, effective, and empowering guide. To enjoy rather than improve, be real rather than impressive, and be good to yourself when you're wired to be hard on yourself"--

Your unconscious is showing : take control of your life with the 12 steps of consciousness / Tracy, Courtney

"A groundbreaking guide showing us how being "out of control" (and admitting it) is the first step to living a truly better, more meaningful life. Raise your hand if you've ever wanted to "self-improve" but, for some reason, you just can't follow through. Turns out, the issue isn't a lack of willpower. For centuries, we've been fed a common perspective: Explore your subconscious mind, heal your trauma, fit into your society, and happiness will follow, right? Wrong. Dr. Courtney Tracy, also known as "The Truth Doctor," disrupts this outdated narrative through digestible scientific research, shockingly honest personal stories, and compassionate-yet-direct advice. Feeling out of control and helpless isn't a flaw but a universal truth of our existence. Instead of trying to change how we work as human beings (spoiler alert: you can't,) we need to embrace and make peace with our unconscious, making it work for and alongside us instead of against. Half psychology textbook written by your best friend (who's also a therapist), half comprehensive guide brimming with actionable insights for engaging with our unconscious positively and productively, Your Unconscious Is Showing is here to help us accept what we can't control, courageously change what we can, and wisely know the difference"--

Ready, set, slow : how to improve your energy, health, and relationships through the power of slow / Holden, Lee

From internationally celebrated Qi Gong master and beloved television personality Lee Holden comes a transformative journey filled with wisdom and practices on the power of slowing down for spiritual balance and peace amid modern chaos. You don't have time not to slow down. In the face of burnout, lack of passion, and endless to-do lists, what if to achieve more you need to do less? "There's too much at stake not to slow down," shares Qi Gong master Lee Holden. "By slowing down, you'll gain time, energy, focus, and clarity." The idea that slowing down can lead to more productivity may sound too good to be true, but research confirms it does this and more -- if only we can figure out a way to apply it in our everyday lives. In this transformative guide, Holden shares The Slow Method, principles of slow mind, body, and relationships drawn from the philosophical wisdom of Eastern meditation, martial arts, and philosophies and merged with Western science. The resulting practices offer ways to access the magical benefits of slowing down to create lasting change in your life and the lives of those you love. No matter which practices you decide to focus on, you'll be learning the power of slow, something that's vital to rediscover our zest for life. Instead of picking up the not-so-pleasurable energies of stress, anxiety, and whirlwinds of negativity, you'll learn to acquire more of the energy you actually want: peace, love, vitality, health, healing, tranquility, connection, and general positivity. With small, incremental changes to the way you live and relate, you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of how to slow down. You'll increasingly embrace life's rhythms along the way as you cultivate and absorb the life-giving energy that we're all in dire need of.
