The Little Book of Beating the Blues - Tapa blanda

A little, light-hearted book on throwing off the blues and enjoying life.

Cheri Huber’s refreshing look at the blues shows us that the worst thing we can do is try to fight them. She suggests that resisting depression–or anything else you don’t want–actually sustains it and that compassionate acceptance of your feelings and yourself leads to freedom.

Through simple exercises and meditations readers learn to open up to emotions, both good and bad, because, according to the author when you open yourself up to pain you also open yourself up to joy. Filled with engaging text and cheerful drawings, this book will help anyone beat the blues.

Three steps you can take when you have the blues:
· 1. Pick up this book.
· 2. Accept the pain and be as kind to yourself as possible.
· 3. Appreciate yourself for having the willingness to do 1 & 2

The first lesson of this book is that the only way to beat the blues is to ‘join’ em’. Cheri Huber’s simple but revolutionary message is that trying to fight off the blues – or any negative feelings – will only maintain them. Instead she shows how compassionate acceptance of your emotions and yourself actually leads to freedom. Through straightforward exercises and meditations, you will learn to open yourself to your feelings. In discovering the difficult emotions, you will begin to be able to make contact with the joyous ones as well. This process itself will lead you out of the darkness and into a richer experience of living.
