"Exhale: Lose Who You're Not, Love Who You Are, Live Your One Life Well"--move from running-on-empty to spent-and-content

Exhale: Lose Who You're Not, Love Who You Are, Live Your One Life Well

Move from running-on-empty to spent-and-content.

Exhale is for the woman who is suffocating under the pressures of being all things to all people. The pressure of filling every unfilled spot at church, home, and work. The pressure of trying to do it all right, make decisions that benefit everyone else, and keep everyone happy.

Rather than adding more to your to-do list, in this book Amy Carroll and Cheri Gregory show you how to

- lose who you're not
- love who you are
- live your one life well

This isn't a time management book filled with how-to lists and calendar tools. Rather, it walks you through a process that releases you from the things that have created unbearable pressure. Then you'll be free to start investing your life in ways that fulfill the desires of your heart, benefit your people, and bring glory to God.

Includes Now Breathe activities that correspond to each chapter's content and interactive assessments to help you move toward gentle change.

MY REVIEW: "Exhale: Lose Who You're Not, Love Who You Are, Live Your One Life Well" is designed to help readers create a release valve to let loose the tightening squeeze of everyday life pressures. Authors Amy Carroll and Cheri Gregory have created a process of evaluation, enlightenment, and emancipation to help you manage the larger issues without sweating the small stuff. For someone like me, who has long felt compelled to achieve every personal and professional goal--or else feel like a failure--this book offers invaluable life lessons and spiritual food for thought. The three main sections of the book are "Lose Who You're Not". "Love Who You Are", and "Live Your One Life Well". Through common sense, self-care, renewal of faith, and learning your own self-worth, you can learn to exhale, and then breath back in the clean, fresh air of simple joy and happy purpose.
