epub Break Free from Emotional Chains,: Wisdom from Lincoln and Others

We can learn from history if we choose to look closer. The wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr. and others are a guide through the Stages of Change and habit building. First we have to see what is holding us back, ourselves, our inner voices, 'chains' from what was said by parents and authority figures during our childhood. Taking action can include gardening, foraging and cooking, or learning about history and writing simple poetry about nature in the Japanese style of Renga, a collaborative style. A game, like passing a note back and forth, each adding the next lines. Taking action in some way, is acting as a substitute for the old habit that needs to be left unused for synaptic plasticity to remodel it into new pathways. Stop the old by starting new things. The brain builds new pathways and breaks down the unused habit trails. Photographs of sculpture, nature, and foraging wild plant add glimmers of beauty and practicality to the book.

Emancipate yourself with inspiration from the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. along with Carl Jung and others. Habit building tips and guidance from the Stages of Change with Action ideas based on traditional customs are included. This is a journey about the nation and about freeing ourselves from emotional chains instilled in us from childhood or from social customs and advertising. Abraham Lincoln encourages us to try, with resolution, and success will follow that determination. Relapse is an opportunity to try again, and failure provides learned experience, an initial reward to help redirect us towards a better plan and success will follow eventually. Wisdom occurs with practice that is guided by learning from our mistakes rather than remaining stuck in a routine that is familiar but may no longer be comfortable. Turn inner blocks of "I can't" into action steps and an attitude of "I can try... just for fun!" Or if that is too great a leap, "I can't... yet!" Vagal Therapy techniques add strategies to try. Get active in nature with gardening information and recipes using foraged ingredients. Break free from lawns and learn more about garden plants of our forefathers that were so easy to grow, they are now known as lawn weeds. History and tradition can teach if we choose to learn from our past.
