The Other Serenity Prayer: Meditations on Self-Kindness

Perfectionism – that inner nagging belief that nothing you do will be good enough – can stop you in your tracks and steal your dreams. How you talk to yourself matters. Positive self-talk works. Beating yourself up doesn’t. With its one-life-lesson-at-a-time format, The Other Serenity Prayer: Meditations on Self-Kindness contains Eleanor Brownn's heart-based poems, reflections, and gentle inspirations to take a break from the negative voice inside our heads. It’s the type of book you can open at any page to give yourself a quick reminder to watch your words; your heart is listening. "Eleanor offers a unique blend of encouragement, empathy, and practical wisdom. Through her heartfelt prose and meditative poetry, she invites others to embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and spiritual growth." "I love that it's something I can pick up daily, randomly choose a page, and get my inspiration for the day." "I absolutely love this book! It was a gift from a friend and has since become part of my morning meditation. My daughter started using the book as well. We take turns holding the book, asking for what we should know, then opening it for our personal guidance. We've had some remarkable moments with this book and I'm so grateful for the simplicity, wisdom and kindness contained within." "This book made me think, smile, and even laugh (jingle your bells!). It reinforced my gratitude and reminded me how blessed I truly am." Eleanor Brownn is an adventurer and lifelong learner. Based in Los Angeles, California, she reaches hundreds of thousands of people online around the world with her poetry that focuses on self-compassion, spirituality, and the healing that comes when we learn to practice being kinder to ourselves.
