Rise and Thrive: A Guide for Transforming Your Mood, Cultivating Inspiration, and Living Vibrantly with Chronic Illness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734188707)

Develop the powerful habits that will help you navigate the ups and downs of chronic illness with inspiration and hope

Are you tired of living with chronic illness? Do you feel discouraged about the dreams and goals that you've put on the back burner as a result of your pain and exhaustion?

When each day feels like a struggle, chronic illness takes more from you than just your physical health. It also robs you of your positive outlook on life.

As overwhelmed and exhausted as you might be right now, you can get started TODAY with very specific habits that will boost your mood and empower your mindset. You can begin the process of getting energized and inspired once again.

The right habits will help you regain control over the trajectory of your future and build the life that you deserve-even if that life doesn't resemble the life you had before your diagnosis.

By implementing the habit-based program within these pages, you will generate the energy that you need to plan a life that you want to live. The idea behind this habit-based approach is that it's much easier to cultivate a positive outlook than it is to convince yourself of one.

This book straddles the worlds of personal development and mindfulness. It is NOT intended to be a healing manual.

Think of it as a how-to-thrive manual.

In Rise and Thrive, you will find:

• A 40-day program that will teach you how to develop a mindset that is conducive to thriving.

• Eight mood-boosting tasks that can be completed on a daily basis, regardless of how you feel physically.

• Eight additional healthy lifestyle habits that can be incorporated into your life after the first 40 days, once your outlook has been transformed.

• Questions at the end of each chapter to encourage self-reflection and observation during your journey to thrive.

• Access to a FREE companion workbook once you purchase this book. Details to download the workbook are included inside.

You do NOT have to wait to heal in order to live well. Whether you've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme disease, or any other chronic condition, you can control the direction of your life, despite the unpredictability of your illness.
