Manage the stress of parenting through Morning Pages, Yoga and the Enneagram.
Discover three tools that can dramatically change your life as a Mom. In this candid book, Judy Myers shares three successful tools for managing the trials and tribulations of parenting. A personal guide for Moms by a Mom, Managing the Mommy Years tells how she saved her sanity, her marriage, and her other relationships - and how you can, too. Without a big investment in time, you can reduce your stress, keep your important relationships strong, and find the energy to keep the essence of who you are while keeping your children as your number one priority. As Judy reveals many personal anecdotes from her private journal, you will feel as if you are sitting in front of a fireplace having a heart-to-heart talk with your best friend. The tools Judy describes in detail are writing Morning Pages, practicing Yoga and Understanding Personality Types through the Enneagram. Morning Pages - Julia Cameron, author of the best selling book The Artist's Way, is the exclusive creator of the Morning Pages. Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, strictly stream-of-consciousness writing (that's every single thing that pops into your mind) that you do as soon as get up in the morning. Writing Morning Pages lets you hear more clearly that little voice inside of you that always knows what is best is for you. Writing Morning Pages will allow you to release all that stressful energy in your mind and body onto the paper. Yoga - the practice of joining together the mind, body and spirit. The practice of Yoga will lead to a sense of peace, balance and well-being. By physically releasing the tensions in your body, yoga will bring about emotional stability and clarity of mind. Enneagram - An amazing system that explains personalities with uncanny accuracy. It explains the motivations, desires and fears behind all behaviors. By understanding who you are and why other people do the things they do, you will dramatically reduce your stress. Read Story Circle Book Review of Managing the Mommy Years Excerpt from Story Circle Book Review: by Jennifer Melville Myers shares
the lessons she learned to reduce stress while raising her own three children, and they are both helpful and unique. What
I like most about this book is that it isn't like every other parenting book on the market. Myers says, "This is what
worked for me," not, "This is what will work for everyone." Not everything she suggests will work in your situation,
but many of her ideas are sure to change your life. ...If
you are looking for new ways to relieve stress, this is a book for you. while not all of Myers' suggestions will fit your
personality or lifestyle, plenty will. it's a book I will come back to time and again, revisiting it's well under-lined pages
for ideas to reduce some of the stress that comes with being a mom.
