9781462143047: Finding Peace in Difficult Times

Synopsis

We live in an age where anxiety, stress, and unhappiness often crowd out feelings of peace and well-being. In these Last Days, not only is peace lacking in the world, but it is frequently in short supply in our individual lives. For many, it is easy to focus on fear instead of faith. Amid these challenges and uncertainty, however, there is a pathway to greater calm and confidence. Combining professional experience and wisdom drawn from the words of modern prophets, psychotherapists Ted Asay and Mark Ogletree offer several simple strategies that will help to quiet inner turmoil and enhance feelings of happiness and contentment, such as ÔøΩ Developing a spirit of optimism in a pessimistic world ÔøΩ Alleviating anxiety and stress with gratitude ÔøΩ Making peace with the past so you can live in the present ÔøΩ Acting with purpose instead of being acted upon ÔøΩ Cultivating self-compassion and quieting the inner critic Find gospel solutions to the problems that hinder you, and create positive daily patterns that will open avenues to more peaceful living.
