A simple guide to calm and
empower your thinking
In our not so sane world most people are experiencing overwhelming challenges to keep all of their work, family and community relationships in balance. The pressures are intense. Everyone is talking about stress and even more everyone is feeling stress. We have all said, "I must be going insane," or "My life is getting crazy," or "This is nuts!"
Welcome to From Stress to Sanity! Revolutionary in its simplicity, From Stress to Sanity gives you a direct route to a quieter mind and long-term positive change.
This little book is about participating in your own mental health by teaching yourself your own optimal way of thinking. It offers simple learning skills to help you develop a sense of renewed personal control and health, both mentally and physically. You move from "just coping with life," to "creating your life." You have heard of physical fitness, this to Mind Fitness!
Creating a daily time for inner reflection is at the heart of stress reduction and optimal mental health. Once an individual quiets him or herself, the door to reflective thinking, intuition, and contemplation opens wide. By whatever name, deep wisdom, clarity and calm are forthcoming. Some people have described the change like this:
  • "Now that I am taking time each day to sit quietly, I am healthier, more relaxed with many aspects of my life moving more smoothly."
  • "I am discovering a whole new depth to myself since I have been quieting myself each day and applying reflection actively in my life."
  • "I am simply more at peace and more able to respond to the important things in my life. I feel better. I feel as if I have control over my thoughts and reactions now."
