Calming The Chaos – Book Review
Each of us is given one life to live. Take a moment and ask yourself the following questions:
- Are you happy with the life you are currently leading?
- Do the people, activities and things you fill your days with inspire or drain you?
- At the end of each day, do you feel relaxed or stressed?
If your answers indicate that you could benefit from some changes in your life – or you know deep down inside that you are due for an overhaul in one or more areas of your life – Jackie Woodside can help!
Jackie Woodside is the author of Calming The Chaos – A Soulful Gide To Managing Your Energy Rather Than Your Time. In this book, Jackie identifies and coaches us through the process necessary to create change in every area of our lives.
Jackie jump-starts the process by helping us to become aware of the things we habitually do that can create problems in our lives. She then challenges us to re-think how we would normally approach a problem by changing our perception and perspective.
For example, instead of trying to teach us how to manage time, which exists outside of us and is beyond our control, Jackie focuses on helping us find tangible ways to manage our personal energy.
The first half of Calming The Chaos lays the groundwork for understanding how to raise our level of consciousness in all areas of our lives so that we can begin the process of change.
The second half of the book contains a series of coaching exercises that help us clarify what’s important to in life and what types of things we need to do – or stop doing – to create the transformation we desire.
Calming The Chaos is a well-written, practical handbook filled with valuable information and exercises that can help you manifest positive change in your life.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
