Hope for Anxiety Girl (Part 3)
So, it's past bedtime, and I've not yet written the finale to my trilogy. (I'd blog my excuses, but my mom's voice reminds me,"Excuses are like armpits: everyone has a couple, and they all stink!")
What to do? I could:
A) stay up 'til midnight to make sure I get it done.
B) give up on the whole idea.
C) eat a Ghirardelli brownie with French Vanilla ice cream.
D) crank out a quick "list post" and promise to elaborate soon.
As living proof that there is hope for Anxiety Girl, I'm discarding A, B, and C.
So, here's D: my short list of books/authors who have helped answer the all-importantant "how?" providing specific directions from Anxiety to Contentment.
1) The Bible
2) Captivating by John and Staci Eldredge
3) Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs
4) Life Without Ed by Jenni Schaefer
5) The Secret Language of Eating Disorders by Peggy Claude-Pierre
6) The Secret of Overcoming Verbal Abuse by Albert Ellis, PhD
7) Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow
8) The Man You Always Wanted is the One You Already Have by Paula Friedrichsen
9) Wired That Way by Marita Littauer
10) Same Life, New Story by Jan Silvious
In future posts, I'll share some of the "ah-HA!" moments these books catalyzed and the nitty-gritty daily life changes that resulted.
How about you? What author(s) and/or book(s) have provided life-changing "ah-HA!" moments?
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
