In "The Mother's Guide To Self-Renewal: How To Reclaim,
Rejuvenate And Re-Balance Your Life", author and career coach Renee
Peterson provides stressed and harried mothers an invaluable and
reality-based rationale for taking care of themselves, reconnecting with
who they are, and create a balance in their personal lives from
'the inside-out'. Specifically designed to work as a year-long
guide with individual monthly themes, the text of "The
Mother's Guide To Self-Renewal" is enhanced with the inclusion
of inspirational stories and soul-searching exercises appropriate to
dealing with the stresses that are the common experience of contemporary
mothers. Readers will learn about what Trudeau terms the 'Power of
Self-Care', discover the three keys necessary for experiencing
balanced living, how to discard unrealistic expectations and adopt a
'good is good enough' approach to their lives, manage (and
increase) their energy levels, be more present with those they love,
experience more joy, become comfortable saying 'No', asking
for help, and building a support network for themselves. "The
Mother's Guide To Self-Renewal" should be considered an
indispensable resource for mothers of all ages and circumstances who
feel a need for a better balance in the demands made upon their lives by
themselves and others.
