Singing in the Rain: 52 practical steps to happiness

by RachelKelly (Author)

Synopsis

These simple actions have helped me hold onto that little bit of sunshine, even on the rainiest days. In this inspirational, interactive workbook Rachel Kelly offers her toolkit of 52 practical exercises and activities for cultivating mental wellbeing, collected over years of successfully managing her own depression. They range from belly-breathing and sketching nature to black-box thinking and making origami. Rachel's motto is `small and do-able'. Tiny actions, tweaks, marginal gains: call them what you will, they really make a difference. Our brains are not fixed and hard-wired, but malleable and they change in response to experience. This is the ultimate mindful workbook. Follow her practical steps and exercises to alleviate daily stress and in doing so create new healthier habits that will subtly shift your perspective and enhance your sense of wellbeing.

Media Reviews
This book is absolutely wonderful. - Dr Carmine Pariante (FRCPsych), Professor of Biological Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College London This book is fantastic. It's such a lovely combination of engaging personal stories, thought-provoking ideas, and simple but not simplistic action suggestions. And all weaved together with Rachel Kelly's normal calm, friendly and accessible style. Brilliant. - Mark Williamson, Director of Action for Happiness I absolutely love this book. Rachel Kelly is an alchemist for the spirit. I found it incredibly helpful to work through the activities, 1 for each week of the year and I know others will find it extremely useful. - Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of Buckingham University, author of Beyond Happiness and co-founder of Action for Happiness
