Ayurveda for Life: A Beginner's Guide to Balance and Vitality

Anna Goldstein

Be Bold is an interactive journey for readers looking to discover and create their own unbreakable confidence. Learn how to transcend fear, trust your gut, and take practical steps to build your self-esteem. Once you break free from what’s holding you back, clarify your vision, and step into your power, you will see measurable changes in all areas of your life.

Feeling stuck or that something is just not quite right? You know you are meant for more, so how do you access the clarity and confidence to take your life to the next level? You won’t discover it by simply thinking positive thoughts or by squaring your shoulders and faking it. It requires a choice: less people-pleasing and perfectionism and more action, risk-taking, and fast failure. If you're ready to take control of your life, Be Bold is here to help you gain a deeper understanding of the internal forces shaping your life's direction. With this knowledge, you can fully realize your potential to live in a body you love, have fulfilling relationships, a meaningful career, and more. 

 Each chapter builds upon an important facet of building up unbreakable confidence within yourself and has an exercise and a mantra to help guide you through each step of your journey towards boldness.

 Here are some of the things that self-assured people (and soon enough, you!) do: • Applaud their imperfections
 • Say no
 • Trust their own judgment, and also listen to others’ opinions
 • Don’t mirror others to find what makes them happy
 • Open themselves to love
 • Ask for help
 • Strive to understand their emotions
 • Release guilt
 • Love watching their friends soar
 Dispel the illusion that the reason you can't achieve something is a lack of adequate resources. All you need is within you now and this book will show you how to tap into this innate potential from the inside out. You got this!

The Calm and Cozy Book of Sleep: Rest + Dream + Live

Emma Norris

Emma Norris guides you in setting purposeful plans that are right for you and nurturing a healthier approach to prioritizing, so you can live a more value-based life. 

 She’ll guide you through monotasking, batch working, productivity, and resting—not quitting.

 As we face uncertainty from all directions and new obstacles at every turn, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. This state of mind leaves little room to figure out what we want to do and lots of room to doubt ourselves. We can fill up our days, but it doesn’t always mean we are being productive. Or we can have lots of plans and not know exactly where to start to achieve what we want.

 Having more mindful productivity habits can combat these challenges by helping you keep track of your goals and accomplish them. You can pick the right methods to achieve things without feeling stress, anxiety, or the pressure of external factors while also improving your focus and living a purposeful life. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and when that happens, we want to be prepared to be our most productive selves.

 Each chapter of this book is tailored to help you achieve mindful productivity. You'll learn to:
 • Pursue progress over perfection 
 • Embrace the chaos 
 • Set boundaries 
 • Create realistic objectives 
 • Practice mindfulness 
 • And much more 

 You’ll not only nurture a more stress-free lifestyle, but also learn to embrace the unexpected challenges that may come your way. You will learn how to cultivate productivity into your everyday routine, so you are able to achieve anything you set your mind to without the pressure of doing everything.

 With Progress Over Perfection, you’ll find the courage and the resolve to do what you want to do without having to compromise your plans to fit the pressures of everyday society. It’s possible to be your true self and achieve anything you want, even among the chaos.

Find Your Mantra: Inspire and Empower Your Life with 75 Positive Affirmations

Lieke van der Vorst

Melanie Choukas-Bradley

A simple antidote to our nature-starved lives, The Joy of Forest Bathing is an enticing and comprehensive introduction to forest bathing—or Shinrin-yoku, in Japan—the meditative practice of connecting with nature and disconnecting from the distractions of daily life.

 Full sensory immersion in the beauty and wonder of nature and trees can produce mental, emotional, and physical health benefits. Research has shown that forest bathing lowers blood pressure, pulse rate, and cortisol levels; improves mood; and may even boost our immunity to cancer and other diseases.

The Joy of Forest Bathing invites you to experience the benefits of this healing practice for yourself. Learn the history and background of forest bathing, followed by detailed instructions for establishing a forest bathing practice in your own adopted “wild home,” encompassed in three steps:
 1. Disengagement from your daily routine 2. Deep breathing and nature connection through a series of quiet activities or “invitations” 3. Transitioning back to your daily life This restorative activity can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities: children, teenagers, and even senior citizens with limited mobility and people recovering from illness and surgery. And you don’t need to travel to the Japanese alps to experience the benefits of forest bathing. All you need is a small patch of untouched (or lightly touched) nature to adopt as your “wild home.”

 Within, find practical tips and inspiration for forest bathing through the seasons: in the winter, when the leafless trees open up new vistas; in the spring, when you can hear the melodious serenade of song birds as they nest in the newly formed green canopy; in the summer, watching the butterflies nectaring on wildflowers; and in the autumn, when you can catch glimpses of hurried squirrels storing food for the winter.

The Joy of Forest Bathing introduces a variety of activities that can be enhanced with forest bathing elements, such as mindfulness practices, exercise, art and writing, and outdoor celebrations. Learn, too, how surrendering to the mysteries of nature can provide guidance through difficult times.

 As you find nourishment in nature, you will instinctively begin to wonder how you can preserve and protect this healing resource. This guide includes suggestions for tending to your “wild home.”

 Illustrated throughout with enchanting artwork by Dutch illustrator Lieke van der Vorst and stunning nature photography, The Joy of Forest Bathing is the perfect guide to enhancing your life with the wondrous world of nature.
