Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy: Making Room for Your Soul in an Overcrowded Life

Are you working harder than ever but feel like you're accomplishing less? Does your morning routine make chickens running around headless look sane? Is your deepest sense of calm found in the bathroom with the door locked? Do you check social media more than five times per day? Per hour? Author, speaker, and actor Nicole Johnson knows what it's like to feel as if you're drowning in crazy. When she couldn't catch her breath or stay awake long enough to talk with her husband, let alone God, she sought to find new ways of "being" in her life. Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy is a voice of possibility and peace for women seeking to find a calm spiritual center in a crazy, runaway world. As a wife and mom of young children herself, Nicole recognized that life had become out of control. And, with the help of a crisis, she started her journey to create the very calm she was craving. Nicole's voice is authentic, humorous, and practical, and at the same time deeply spiritual and real. She brings rich storytelling together with her desire to find calm, and in the process discovers a deeper faith. Her personal story grounds the book as she abandons mere tips and tricks (and the empty promises of time saving apps), to explore new practices - like creating a room of her own, setting technology boundaries, rediscovering the spiritual disciplines of quiet and still (they're not bad words) - and then extending those practices to provide a safer, stronger refuge for calm to dwell. Nicole's journey is shared with relatable stories, insightful help, and practical ideas that explore the inner life of a recovering crazy busy woman finding her way to calm and a deeper relationship with God.

The Four Elements of Success: A Simple Personality Profile that will Transform Your Team

Laurie Beth Jones, management expert and business consultant extraordinaire, noticed that of the personality/temperament profiles in the market today, none of them provided a tool that was simple, visual, intuitive, and powerful enough to create a shift in thinking as well as relating. So she developed The Path Elements Profile (PEP), which can be used in recruitment, placement, retention, team building, and customer relations as businesses transform many individuals into a harmonizing, humming force for good.

We choose to act on what we value, and each element type values very different things: - Fire personality types love and thrive on challenge - Water personality types thrive on harmony and calm - Wind personality types love chaos and change - Earth personality types love order and structure PART I of this book provides an overview of the elements themselves as individual personality types. Jones will explain each element's strengths and challenges and will have the readers identify their own as well as those of their team members. Then in PART II, readers will assess their teams.

I'll See You Tomorrow: Building Relational Resilience When You Want to Quit

Read by the authors. In a culture where people easily and hastily cancel relationships rather than cultivate them, discover what the Bible has to say about how we need to keep showing up for one another-even when we feel like walking away. We are surrounded by choices. If we want to watch a movie, we have multiple platforms we can choose from. If we grow tired of a friend or conversation, we leave them on read. It's never been easier to tune out and make a switch when something doesn't go perfectly or when we are offended. It's easy to cancel something from our lives when it comes to technology, television shows, or choices of food and drinks. But what about canceling friends or family members when we are disappointed or offended by them? In I'll See You Tomorrow, communication professor Dr. Heather Thompson Day and Seth Day tackle difficulties that people face in relationships and help them navigate through relational disappointment, conflict, and fear. The dangers of a relational cancel culture are a timely one. This book will help you: - learn to extend grace to yourself and your loved ones in order to forgive and keep showing up, - discover how childhood trauma continues to affect your relationships, - stop waiting for an ideal and refuse to let it prevent you from what's possible, - recognize the value of a healthy (and small) circle rather than a large one, and refuse to let fear of what may or may not happen cause you to miss the beauty of what is. Blending personal stories with data and research in a way that inspires truth and helps people change their everyday mindsets, Heather and Seth encourage you to embrace this valuable truth: relationships don't have to be perfect to be fulfilling. Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
