Shawn Langwell To Love and Be Loved - From Today's The Day

from Dare to Be Great, Dare to Be You Hosted by Shawn Langwell · host shawnlangwellwriter

More from Today's the Day, personally narrated by me. Today we cover five short chapters on habits and mindsets that have plagued me most of my adult life, and perhaps you too: 1 - To Love and Be Loved 2 - We All Feel Like We Want to Belong and Are Accepted as We Are 3 - Make Your Bed and Take Out the Trash 4 - Chop Wood, Carry Water 5 - Routines and Habits   These short personal essays and the entire book, are specifically designed to help you rebuild your self-esteem and self-confidence. Those who are already doing deeper work in recovery, whether in AA, Al-Anon, ACA, CoDA, or scores of other counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy resources, should find some of the reflections in these chapters, and the whole book, not only helpful but approachable without adding to our already stressed, crazy, neurotic lives. This book was literally a 45-day download from my own Higher Power after I had written Ten Seconds of Boldness. I wrote Today’s The Day not only for others, but as an easy pocket guide to return to for myself whenever I feel spun or stuck. I am sharing every single chapter here because this was a gift to me, and the greatest gifts are those that are shared. I hope you find what you're looking for here, or wherever you are led to look. A disclaimer and a word of advice: I am not a therapist or doctor and strictly share my experience, strength, and hope as I have known and lived it from nearly four decades of recovery in 12-step programs. I do not offer this or any of my books as a solution for those with challenges, mental, physical, or otherwise, that I am not qualified to diagnose or solve. What I do offer is what has worked for me, and I encourage any and all to continue the hard work of being honest with yourselves and becoming bold and brave enough to believe in yourself, which may require seeking other advice. I am available as a Gap Mindset Coach and marketing mentor for those who need those services. I do not offer CBT or any other forms of therapy. Please call others who may be qualified to assist. Lastly, my word of encouragement for this book, and all I teach and do and live: Be bold. Be brave. Dare to be great, dare to be you. And for the love of all, DON'T QUIT BEFORE THE MIRACLES HAPPEN.   ABOUT THE HOST: Shawn Langwell is an Inspirational Author, Speaker, Teacher and Gap Mindset Coach & Consultant.
