Jane Stockwell writes from the heart in this series of short essays about facing the challenges of life, and strategies to deal with them. Rather than to let life defeat her, she instead chose to succeed. The lessons she learned to cope with fear, change, and loss and turning them into courage and mindfulness are applicable to all of us, irrespective of the challenges we face.
Often, recognizing the issue and separating it from ourselves can help to give perspective and open other possibilities we can't see when we are overwhelmed. Face each challenge with an open mind, and above all, being kind to yourself.
This book is intentionally short, as the lessons in themselves are not complex. In fact, we tend to overcomplicate things and look for something other than the solution sitting in front of us. The reality is, we already know what to do, but sometimes we need a reminder. This is the essence of "Be Kind to Yourself".
