Do you have trouble saying "no," or constantly sacrifice your own needs to please others? If so, this evidence-based workbook will help you set healthy boundaries in all aspects of your life-without feeling guilty or afraid. If you find yourself feeling responsible for others' happiness, worrying about letting people down, or struggling to speak up for yourself, you probably have difficulty setting healthy boundaries. Establishing clear personal boundaries is essential to creating and nurturing mutually respectful relationships based on equality. Setting limits can also protect you from getting involved in exploitative relationships, and help you avoid toxic personalities who don't have your best interests at heart. This evidence-based workbook will show you how to set healthy boundaries across all aspects of life-without sacrificing your kindness or compassion for others. You'll learn to define your boundaries and discover why they're so important for your emotional well-being. You'll also find a wealth of tips for maintaining boundaries in a "constantly-connected" world, strategies for what to do when people get upset or threatened by your assertiveness, and ways to make sure your needs are met. If you're tired of feeling guilty or afraid of putting your mental and physical health first, are ready to take back control of your life, and create healthy and balanced relationships, this book will show you how to step up and set limits, assert yourself confidently, and realize your full potential.

If you feel an intense pressure to be perfect, this evidence-based workbook offers real strategies based in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you develop a more balanced and healthy perspective. Do you hold yourself-and perhaps others-to extremely high standards? Do you procrastinate certain tasks because you're afraid you won't carry them out perfectly? If you've answered "yes" to one or both of these questions, chances are you're a perfectionist. And while there's nothing wrong with hard work and high standards, perfectionism can also take over your life if you let it. So, how can you find balance? With this workbook, you'll identify the causes of your perfectionism and the ways it is negatively impacting your life. Rather than measuring your self-worth by productivity and accomplishments, you'll learn to exercise self compassion, and extend that compassion to others. You'll also learn ways to prioritize the things that really matter to you, without focusing on attaining fixed goals. Life isn't perfect, and neither are we. If you're ready to break free from out-of-control perfectionism and start living a richer, fuller life, this workbook will help you get started.

Silver Lining Journals for Caregivers provide: A means and process for documenting accurate, authentic, time ordered information critical to communication with health care professionals, family and friends. Although my professional background includes rewarding work as a teacher, school administrator, consultant, and manager, my greatest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction stems from twenty years of caregiving for my family. It's the career move for which I was least prepared and most challenged. Yet work as a frontline caregiver for my mother, father, and husband provided more job satisfaction, constructive teamwork, and sense of accomplishment and purpose than I knew possible. - Sharon Martin, Silver Lining Journals. Sharon Martin was born in Beckley, West Virginia, grew up in Fairfield, Ohio, and earned degrees from Cumberland College, University of Memphis, and University of Nebraska, Omaha. After marrying, she worked as a literacy specialist in public schools in Ohio, Tennessee, and Arkansas, before moving with her husband and two sons to her current home in Omaha, Nebraska where she continues to work as an educational consultant and caregiver advocate. Although Sharon has worked as a professional educator since 1971, she, like millions of others in our society, was beckoned to the non-professional role of caregiver. Her caregiving role began in 1988 when one of her teenage sons had a car accident that required 3 months of hospitalization and a year of recovery at home. In 1991, different caregiving responsibilities evolved when her mother fell and broke her hip, and later, suffered a mental and emotional breakdown following a carjacking and murder of her only son, Sharon's only sibling, in 1994. Unanticipated care-giving responsibilities expanded when her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer at the same time her father was diagnosed with advanced dementia, macular degeneration, and lymphoma. From that time until June, 2011,
