<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Anxiety is rampant in our fast-paced, high-tech, overwhelming society--and women are twice as likely as men to suffer from anxiety-related issues. In this empowering guide, women will find practical tools and experiential exercises based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help them mindfully conquer anxieties, worries, and fears--and live mightily.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>You are stronger than your anxiety--you are <i>mighty</i>. In this empowering guide, you'll find practical tools to help you shed the shackles of worry and fear and embrace a more vibrant life.</b></p><p>In a culture where women are still paid less for doing the same jobs, expected to juggle family and career effortlessly, and faced with the harsh realities of misogyny and sexism daily, it's no wonder you're also twice as likely to experience issues related to anxiety and trauma. But there are real tools you can use now to build personal resilience in a difficult world, move past anxious thoughts, and conquer your worries and fears. This book will help guide the way.</p><p><i>Be Mighty</i> leads you on a bold quest to gain a deeper understanding of your anxiety by exploring your own "origin story"--how your early experiences led to thoughts and behaviors that may have offered comfort and protection at one time, but are now keeping you from living your best life. Using practical tools and experiential exercises based in mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), you'll learn to respond to present-day triggers in a new way, making choices from a more conscious, values-driven place.</p><p>So, drop that outdated armor and dive headlong into this book. You'll emerge fresh and fierce, with the confidence to stand up for the life you want to live and the power to face life's complexities as your best, most authentic self. It's time to be who you truly want to be. It's time for you to be mighty!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Be Mighty</i> by Jill Stoddard is mindfulness and acceptance for the post-#metoo woman.
