Relationship Expert's New Book Shares Practical Tools to Transform One's Life
Karen Sherman shares proven methods for positive change, based on her own experiences in her new book, "Mindfulness and the Art of Choice: Transform Your Life."
Long Island, NY (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- Many people are unable to express their true selves due to subconscious, destructive patterns created by negative past experiences, says relationship expert Karen Sherman, Ph.D., in her new self-help book, "Mindfulness and the Art of Choice: Transform Your Life" (ISBN 9781932690514, Loving Healing Press, 2008).
"Mindfulness and the Art of Choice" offers a set of time-tested tools to help those who feel like negative past experiences are holding them back in their relationships with others or their day-to-day happiness with themselves. Many people don't realize that their life behavior is the result of patterned responses based on childhood experiences, Sherman says. She readily admits that for a long time, she was one of them, but through the powerful tools presented in her book, she freed herself from the prison of the past.
"Mindfulness and the Art of Choice" shares Sherman's personal journey--how she worked through her emotional baggage to create a more fulfilling life. Before writing her book, Sherman also used the tools and methods it presents with her private practice clients to very strong, positive response. The inspiring book shows readers how to break free from patterns based on their childhood and open up to a world of potential choices.
The key to transforming your life is mindfulness: an active effort to pay attention to how you react to present situations, Sherman says. The book presents exercises to increase one's mindfulness and deal with negative past experiences, allowing old wounds to heal and healthy relationships to develop. "Mindfulness and the Art of Choice" aims to help readers know their lives better and learn how to create the life they want.
"The main message is that no matter what your experiences have been in the past, how you live your life is a choice," Sherman says. "I truly believe that not only does each person have responsibility for what happens to him or her, but that therein also lies his or her power. This book is about letting people know that they can have the life they want--that it's actually something they can choose to create."
