Publisher's summary

Are you someone who must constantly battle your mind and wage war against your emotions just to feel right on the inside? Do you wish you could find a way to quickly and easily get your mood back to a state of serene balance when life throws you a curveball? One of the big issues with mental health is that it seems like you're the only one who can really do anything about it, and that's largely true. The problem is that when you think about someone with a broken leg, no one in the world would expect them to set it themselves, heal overnight, and then get back to work on Monday morning. That would be insane and unrealistic, and if you tried to force them to do it regardless of those two points of view, it would be cruel. Mental health is a different animal that's also treated very differently.

I'll be the first to admit that more and more people out there are so much more open and kinder than society would have been 20 years ago, but there's still a long way to go. Not least of all, because our ability to treat mental health personally is still very much in its infancy. What works wonders for someone may do nothing for another, and what worked for you yesterday may leave you still in despair tomorrow. Rather than seeing this as a reason to throw the towel in and give up, I want you to see it as a reason to go out there and find another approach. Thousands of others just like you already have, and they're doing it thanks to a resource that really is life-changing.

Happiness Returns: The Self-Care and Self-Compassion Workbook is the secret guide I want to introduce you to so that you can live on your own terms, regardless of what the world tries to throw at you. Inside Happiness Returns: The Self Care and Self Compassion Workbook, you're going to learn about:

  • The benefits of practicing self-compassion
  • The link between self-esteem and self-compassion
  • The brain and happiness
  • If it's possible to find true happiness

Self-compassion can change the game

Self-compassion, forgiveness, and ultimately, happiness can seem so unbearingly hard to possess when there is layer upon layer of resistance, sadness, betrayal, and pain in our minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits.

However, with the amelioration of the aforementioned negative emotions, we are slowly but surely able to reclaim the true happiness and lives that we deserve.

Robert J. Charles helps us do just that and delivers a power-packed self-help presentation that will empower even individuals that are unrelentingly hard on themselves, all with positive mindset approaches and strategies that work.

Great

A vital toolkit for embracing happiness

I have struggled to embrace self-love for years, and I am so happy that this book found its way into my life. This book is a vital tool in my wellness toolbox. I learned to think of self-love and self-compassion on a whole new level. I learned the true meaning of treating myself as I feel I should treat others in every situation. I learned that I need to be my own best friend and speak to myself with words of consolation and affirmation. This book helps to fight previous misconceptions in order to feel worthy and deserving of happiness. It also points out that we should not let the perceived success of others define our lives. This book also underlines the value of gratitude and how to incorporate it into our daily lives in various ways.
