About the Author
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to The Inner Rising book, and a big thank you for taking this exciting, life-enhancing journey with me. This reader-friendly book is a complete step-by-step self-care and success guide to developing a positive, stress-free outlook; building your self belief and confidence; and managing your time, energy, and attention.
The book has been written very much with you in mind. It’s one you can use for the rest of your life. The information contained within these pages is the sum total of techniques, tips, and strategies I’ve used in my own life for more than twenty years that have moved me from a place of melancholy, frustration, and deep desperation with my life to one of inner peace, a quiet but strong drive, and a much deeper confidence to assert who I am. I sincerely hope they do the same for you.
WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT
This book is primarily about showing you how to care for yourself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, as well as how to strengthen your sense of self from the inside. It’s about how we need to put our own oxygen masks on first so we have the ability to assist others.
When you know how to care for yourself and strengthen your inner resources, there’s a knock-on effect to how you live your life. With inner certainty of who you are and how to keep yourself strong, well, and able to deal with the demands of life, you can begin to change the way you live so that your life just flows.
Seven Key Areas
The Inner Rising brings together seven key areas that, together, will help you improve how you take care of yourself, change how you think so that your perspective becomes a more positive one, and boost your own self-confidence, belief, and esteem. These seven areas were selected because they represent some of the main issues my clients were experiencing at the time of writing. These are also the areas I personally found I needed to work on consciously, and improve.
Armed with the vital tools outlined in this book, you’ll learn how to use them as a platform to manage your time, energy, and attention, and direct them towards the kind of life you really want to live.
The seven key areas covered in the book are:
1. Minimising stress, maximising relaxation
2. Releasing self-limiting beliefs
3. Positive thinking and behaviour
4. Confidence and self-esteem building
5. Time and energy management
6. Practical goal setting
7. Advanced planning
When you know how to manage stress and relax, release beliefs that hold you back, see the positives, and feel more confident, you have the inner tools to be able to take the next steps. These are to use your time, energy, and your attention to create the kinds of goals and plans that will take you to where you want to go in life.
We can turn our lives around. We just need a nudge in the right direction, coupled with proven tools and techniques that will help us to move in that direction.
The information I’m about to share with you helped me enormously to come through a very dark time of in my life in the mid 1990s, and I want it to help you too.
The information is designed to help you to feel better about yourself and the world around you. It aims to lift you up mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and move you into a better space so you can create the life you want. This is what I term “The Inner Rising”.
The content of this book is also the result of looking into personal development, reading timeless classics from experts in this field (some of which are cited in this book), and appreciating its benefits for over twenty years. This has involved observing others and using many of the techniques in this book to help not only myself but also the clients of my coaching business, Stimulus, move into healthier, happier, and more vibrant spaces. This has had a direct knock-on effect to the rest of their lives (e.g., their careers, relationships, and financial situations).
The book charts a personal journey of mine, as well as that of my clients, over more than twenty years. Most of the material here is the result not only of the research I’ve carried out in that time, but also from my own experience of using the tools and techniques, my journey as a life coach, and the valuable feedback I’ve received from my clients.
There’s nothing “rah rah” about this book. The aim of this publication is to help you experience and develop the kind of mindset, mental and physical states, and habits that will give you the life you want.
Your success in becoming the person you want to be is down to your ability to consistently think in a certain way and take a certain set of actions each day .
The theory underpinning the content of this book is based on the following:
• energy therapy theory and practice
• life coaching principles
• personal and spiritual development theory and practice
• neurolinguistic programming (NLP) principles
• cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
• change management theory
It’s also based on observation of myself and others, and principles used by some of the most successful people in the world today.
I myself am an author, qualified life coach and energy therapist, with knowledge and experience of all the above areas.
How to Use This Book
This is an interactive book with a myriad of exercises you can take part in as you read the chapters. There are also specific questions for you to answer at the end of each chapter. The exercises and questions are pen and paper based to give you an opportunity to move away from your electronic devices, go back to basics, and connect more deeply with the subject matter you’re writing about.
There are also questions posed to you in certain sections of the book. To get the most out of the publication, pause your reading and carry out the exercises. The content will mean so much more to you with this approach and will deepen your reading experience.
At the back of the book, in the appendices, you’ll find tools that may help you set the goals you need to move you forward in life, and simple, user-friendly planning proformas designed to help you take those crucial next steps.
Feel free to use the content of this book to inspire you to develop your own tools, techniques, and practices to improve your life. This may involve modifying the tools contained within these pages so they resonate with you on a deeper level.
You’ll also find resources, such as books and websites, that may be of interest to you in terms of widening your knowledge. Please note that the Internet and websites cited in the book were live at the time of writing.
Therefore, in terms of how to use this book, it’s recommended you firstly read the book from cover to cover to get a thorough grounding in terms of the content. Then go back through the book, pausing to do the exercises and answer the questions posed, to gain a deeper reading experience, a shift in your perspective, and a more profound understanding of yourself. The more times you read the book, and build on the exercises you carry out, the more you’ll benefit from the content.
I hope you get as much enjoyment out of reading this book as I did writing it!
All the best,
Carmen
