We need your art : stop messing around and make something / Mcnee, Amie
Stop messing around and make something
"From Amie McNee, the voice behind Inspired to Write, a manifesto on the vital, human importance of creating, with guidance for all artists in all endeavors, whether they're starting their journey or seeking a fresh perspective. In We Need Your Art, Amie McNee calls artists and aspiring artists of all kinds to do the work they're meant to do: create. Using her own experiences as a novelist and the inspiration she's shared as a creative coach, Amie guides you on why we need your art and how you can make it happen -- starting with a two-week reset plan to help you kick-start your creative habit. This isn't about writing your great novel in a month or painting a masterpiece in a flurry of inspiration. Rather, this process is about practicing small, sustainable creative steps every day over time -- five hundred words of writing each day, a pencil sketch every evening -- so that you avoid burnout, produce consistent, reliable content on your own terms, and begin to see yourself as an artist. With frank and empowering conversations on the many issues creatives face, including imposter syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and the inner critic, as well as invitations to crown yourself and celebrate your ambition, Amie provides the framework and encouragement you need to begin to take your art seriously. Each chapter also includes journal prompts that help you apply what you have learned to your new life. We Need Your Art is a revolutionary reprogramming of everything we have been taught and told about being a creative, removing the shame and fear we may feel at dubbing ourselves artists and inviting us to create proudly, with celebration. This book is a warm hug, a pep talk, the wise teacher you always wanted, the loving parent you needed, and the fire in your belly that you need to get roaring"--

The good death : a guide for supporting your loved one through the end of life / O'Brien, Suzanne B.

"For most of us, there is no harder life experience than caring for a loved one who is dying. Suzanne O'Brien realized this earlier than most during her time working as a nurse in hospice care, often offered as a comforting alternative to a sterile hospital environment. But Suzanne saw the real financial and staffing limitation that came with hospice, and, realizing this option didn't provide all the answers, wanted to take it a step further, providing her patients and their families with the tools to approach the death of a loved one with grace, dignity, knowledge, and compassion. In 2012, Suzanne founded the Doulagivers Institute, which has since trained hundreds of thousands of doulas around the world. The Good Death will distill down the information of this course and all that Suzanne has learned during her decades in healthcare to provide the reader with a step-by-step guide to preparing for the future death of a loved one, and helping them through the actual passing when the time comes. This book will equip the reader with everything they need to know to prepare for a financial, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual good death--both for them, and for their loved one"--

High functioning : how to overcome your hidden depression and reclaim your joy / Robbins, Mel

Many of us experience periods in our lives when something feels "off": when we struggle to find joy in happy moments, feel pessimistic about the future, and take little pleasure in things we used to enjoy. On the surface, we might be good at pretending we're doing fine-we are motivated and productive at work, pulling our weight at home, and conducting a normal social life-but behind that façade we are barely surviving, and certainly not thriving. We're all familiar with what depression can look like-but there's another, lesser known face to this illness. High functioning depression (HFD) doesn't conform to the image of depression that typically comes to mind: someone who is deeply sad and finds it hard to get out of bed in the morning. As a result, people with HFD often have no idea why they are suffering, or what to do about it. Drawing on original research, client cases, and her personal experience with HFD, Dr. Judith empowers readers with five simple tools to reclaim their lives from this poorly understood condition. By following her Her 5 V's--validation, venting, values, vision, and vitals--we can wake up happier, become more satisfied in our relationships, and regain joy in the present while looking forward to tomorrow.

Shatterproof : how to thrive in a world of constant chaos (and why resilience alone isn't enough) / Eurich, Tasha

"Do you often feel like you're just one stressor away from your breaking point? Have you turned the act of pretending you're "fine" into an art form? Do you pride yourself on your mental toughness in the face of whatever life throws at you? If so, you're not alone. We've all been conditioned to believe that grit and resilience are all it takes to get us through life's challenges. The problem is, argues organizational psychologist and NY Times bestselling author Tasha Eurich, resilience is not an unlimited resource. And while some people have more of it than others, few of us possess enough to keep us from breaking under the weight of all the stress, uncertainty, and chaos we experience today. Drawing on a vast body of research, client stories, and insights from Eurich's own struggles with chronic illness, SHATTERPROOF offers a much-needed alternative to "toughing it out" in the face of adversity, and shows how to instead harness those difficult moments as a force for growth. Readers will learn a simple set of science-backed strategies, including how to: Recognize the specific stressors that uniquely trigger us Identify the unmet needs that keep us mired in anxiety and frustration Replace self-limiting habits with ones that serve our true goals Develop the ability to face future challenges with confidence and strength The things that break us can also uniquely remake us, allowing us to live better, do better, and feel better than before. This is what it means to become shatterproof"--
