I&#8217;ve been dreaming about and working on this book for years! <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/books\/gentle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want<\/em><\/a> is ready for you. This is my third book and it&#8217;s available in all formats wherever you buy books. If you&#8217;ve been feeling a little (or a lot) overwhelmed, worn down or just tired of the same tired advice to push through and jump through higher hoops, this book will soothe your soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gentle-rest-more-stress-less-and-live-the-life-you-actually-want\">Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote this book for women who, like me are looking for more support, a better version of self-help and a different definition of success. Most of us have spent too much of our lives being anything but gentle with ourselves or the world around us. Treating ourselves and others gently, creating moments of softness and stillness, is so often viewed as weakness, as giving up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the simple fact is: We are worn out. We are tired of pushing through, tired of thinking we have to overdo everything, all the while pretending that we thrive under stress (as a boss I once had loved to remind me). As a result, gentleness has become an absolute imperative. It\u2019s time to create our own rules, new rules, gentle rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of trying to become a better version of yourself (again), let\u2019s try something new: trust ourselves to be kind, soft and slow in how we treat ourselves and others, how we change our habits and how we live our lives. Fast and furious is out. We are done fighting it and faking it. It\u2019s time to be gentle. Gentle? You might ask. What<br>is that? Let\u2019s start by looking at what it is not and then look at what it actually is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gentle-is-not\">Gentle is not \u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a sacrifice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>people pleasing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>giving up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pretending that things are perfect<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ignoring pain in ourselves or in the world<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gentle-is\">Gentle is \u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the antidote to overwhelm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an invitation to choose consistency over intensity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>easing through instead of pushing through<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>creating strength in stillness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>putting yourself first<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rejecting the old rules and creating your own<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-three-seasons-of-gentle\">The three seasons of Gentle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading this book will guide you through three seasons\u2014Rest, Less, and Rise with 30 challenges and simple practices to help you to radically and (yes)&nbsp;gently&nbsp;shift your pace, headspace, and heart. You&#8217;ll find a few tiny steps and a permission slip to encourage your progress with each practice. It\u2019s time to find strength in your softness, fierceness in your flexibility, and to finally rise\u2014not by pushing through but by connecting with the&nbsp;Gentle&nbsp;You, standing in your light and honoring the person you are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-gentle-today\">Get Gentle today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more and <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/books\/gentle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">order Gentle<\/a> today!
