Wanted to mention a couple of books that I've looked at the last few days...

First one is "Life without Limits" by Lucinda Bassett. She's also the author of "From Panic to Power" -- the book that I posted some stuff from last week or the week before. Anyway, LWL essentially walks you thru setting a vision and goals in the various areas of ones life (work, home, relationships, etc). It's a very well written book and has quite a few exercises in it to help you refine what you might want to achieve. I'd recommend it for anyone who's having trouble getting his/her head around your "vision".

Amazon's description of Life without Limits

The other book I read was "Fit from Within" by Victoria Moran. It's a series of 2-3 page "chapters" which discuss suggestions for how to become "fit from within" -- or, address eating issues through developing emotional "fitness". Even though I didn't feel I needed it to address food or dieting issues, I thought much of what it said was overall applicable at navigating thru, well, life.

An example:
"Give up the notion of blowing it. When you cannot blow it, the times when you do overreact or live in a negative space will become fewer and fewer. You'll spend less time on remorse and more on fulfillment."

OR

"Take the responsibiliy, not the blame. Do whatever it takes for you, given who you are and the way you see the world, to stop blaming yourself so you can start changing yourself."

Etc.

Amazon's take on Fit from Within

It's a pretty quick read and since it's broken up into small chapters I could see it being useful for someone who'd like a bit of inspiration each day.
