Book Description
When we figure out exactly what it is that we are each made of, unexpected things to begin to happen. Good things. Magic begins to sparkle. Anxieties and fears take a hike. Opportunities come beckoning. Life happens in all its glory. And those are the moments when we will feel wholeheartedly awesome. Wholeheartedly unstoppable. The only problem? Getting there. Breathe. Live. Let every moment take you to a place where goodbyes are hard to come by. Be in love with your life. Better yet, be in love with you. Grab onto life with both hands and don't let go. Are you going to slide down to the mountain when the going gets rough, or are you going to crawl on your hands and knees until you get to the top? The choice is yours - only you know what you are truly made of and capable of. Journey with me as we grapple with all the things that hold us back from living up to our potentials and the things that keep us from living the life we have always wanted. Let's start doing good so that we can be better people in order to live our best lives.

In southern California it’s raining crime—and psychologist Christina McMullen could use an umbrella.

Things I Did When I Was Hangry
Author: Annie Mahon
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 1937006980
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
After years of struggling with eating disorders and anxiety around food and eating, Annie Mahon figured that having a path, any path, would be helpful. When she read The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh, she found a path that not only changed her (and her family’s) relationship with food, but also transformed nearly every aspect of her life. In Things I Did When I Was Hangry, Annie shares her path to mindful cooking and eating. The tools Mahon offers fit together like a wheel, rather than sequential steps. Readers are invited to just jump in and take what works for them. Each section has a short humorous story about Annie’s own journey toward more conscious cooking and eating. She shares practices for developing mindfulness that will support more ease around food, and journal questions to help you look more deeply at the roots of your thinking about food, cooking, and eating. Simple, delicious, vegan recipes complement each section, demonstrating mindful alternatives for every meal and many eating challenges, including eating at work and school, eating at restaurants and on vacation, and mindfully feeding friends and entertaining. Mindful eating has been shown to improve body acceptance, diminish negative self-talk and support weight loss. Mindful cooking is a mindfulness practice in itself, creating more ease in our day-to-day lives. Annie Mahon’s recipes and suggestions are scaffolding anyone can use to build their own mindful kitchen and eating practices.

Blood
Author: Dr. Jen Gunter
Publisher: Random House Canada
ISBN: 0735280835
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
The galvanizing new book from Dr. Jen Gunter, #1 bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto, dispels the shame, mythology, and misinformation around menstruation with scientific facts, medical expertise, and a fierce feminist perspective. Most of us know about as much about how the uterus and ovaries function as we do about how the liver works. Add in societal shame around the menstrual cycle and it’s not surprising that misinformation is widespread. But, as women’s health advocate and trusted OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter writes, “you don’t have to think about your liver 5 days a month for 30 years, so I’d argue people should know more about the uterus." Enter Blood. In her new book, Dr. Gunter offers a clear, no-nonsense guide to reproductive anatomy and answers all the questions you never knew you had about menstrual bleeding—for example, where does the blood come from? And where does it go if you miss a period? Why do we even menstruate in the first place? With her expertise and trademark wit, Dr. Gunter debunks myths and challenges patriarchal attitudes toward this natural bodily process, shedding light on: The endometrium's fascinating connection to the immune system The brain-ovary connection Legitimate menstrual products, and the facts behind toxic shock syndrome Irregular, heavy, and breakthrough bleeding Period pain Endometriosis Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Hormonal contraception, menstrual tracking, and FAM (fertility awareness methods) Abortion as menstrual management And much more. Surprising, funny, and fact-filled, Blood is an essential and empowering resource from the doctor who "takes the mystery out of women’s health and replaces it with evidence-informed concrete recommendations."
