Some of my favorite books:
Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth. Are you a Permitter or a Restrictor? Is she talking about food or life? Check out Chapter 11 and find out. This book is a must!
Loving What Is by Byron Katie. Is it my business? Is it your business? Is it God's business? "To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. You can spend the rest of your life trying to teach a cat to bark. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless." Great book!
Emotional Freedom by Judith Orloff, M. D.."The launching pad for emotional freedom is always yourself.Progress occurs when we beat ourselves up a little less every day.The bigger your heart grows, the better things will get. Now and always, celebrate the freedom of your life. There's more to come in this adventure." It helps to know your emotional type and the emotional types of those you are closest to. This book gives great insight and lots of practical advice. I would highly recommend it!
