Book Description
By now, we're all aware of the fact that we're supposed to "think positively" all the time, that "our inner worlds create our outer worlds," and that we'll be happier if we just think happy thoughts all the time. That's super great if you're a naturally happy person or if your life is perfect, but it doesn't leave a heck of a lot of space for you to actually feel some negative feelings.Negative feelings, remember those? The ones that are supposed to be toxic to your soul, because "what you focus on grows and expands and becomes your reality"? The feelings you've been trying to squelch down since the rise of the positive psychology movement?Here's a thought-what if you just aired those feelings out? What if, instead of trying to just "think a happy thought," you really just sat down and got all of those angry and negative thoughts out of your system? You'd feel SO much better, that's what. This journal is where you can feel free to do just that.

Book Description
“Taking care of yourself is not meant to be stressful. [This book] gives practical tips for implementing self-care in our busy lives.” —Allure Some days you need a pick-me-up, some days you need a life preserver. As Anna Borges explains, for most of us, self-care is a wide spectrum of decisions and actions that soothe and fortify us against all the shit we deal with. You may already practice some form of self-care, whether it’s taking an extra-long shower after a stressful day, splurging on a fancy dinner, or choosing Netflix over that friend-of-a-friend’s birthday party. But when life gets so overwhelming that you want to stay in bed, some more radical care is crucial to maintain your sanity. The More or Less Definitive Guide to Self-Care is here to help you exist in the world. Borges gathers over 200 tips, activities, and stories (from experts and everyday people alike) into an A-to-Z list—from asking for help to catching some Zzz’s. Make any day a little more OK with new skills in your self-care toolkit—and energy to show up for yourself. A Foreword INDIES Gold Winner “This self-help guide made me feel seen.” —Real Simple “A compendium [about] how to move through the world with a little more kindness for yourself.” —Bustle “Give [this to] your Type A friend who runs herself ragged.” —Los Angeles Times

What if, instead of trying to just "think a happy thought," you really just sat down and got all of those angry and negative thoughts out of your system? That's what this journal is about. Use it say whatever terrible thing you're thinking. Don't hold back. Make yourself laugh with how much you actually despise your co-worker who keeps getting promoted despite being an idiot. Rant about politicians who lie and steal and still get to keep their jobs. Say terrible things about your ugly neighbor with the bad attitude whose husband is handsome and successful, while you're over here killing yourself at Spin class and remaining single. These things are NOT FAIR, and you should NOT have to accept them.All we're saying is, if you sit on those negative feelings and try to ignore them, they are just going to fester. If you use this journal to take them as far as they want to go, you'll get them out of your head and maybe even be able to move on from them. You might even make yourself laugh in the process.Here are some examples of the categories of rants and horrible thoughts some of our readers have written about, as well as the general topics they fall under. Please feel free to refer back to them as writing prompts if you feel stuck.1.PEOPLE: People on social media, in general, especially idiotic people with loudmouth opinions. As a side note, why do these people always have the absolute worst grammar?2.FAMILY: Family members who you have to be nice to, even though they push you to your absolute limit. Another title for this entry might be "There better be enough booze in the house to get me through the holidays."3.CAREER: Co-workers or competitors who are inexplicably more successful than you, despite the fact that you KNOW you are smarter/ more talented/ harder working than they are. Are they using witchcraft? What do they have that you don't have?4.STRANGERS: People who talk on their cellphone on speakerphone in public.5.SUCCESS/ LIFE: Why does it seem to be so difficult for a regular, hard-working person to get a decent house and raise a family? Isn't this the "American dream"? How is this possible anymore, when you are killing yourself at work and still living in an overpriced apartment/ rental house?6.HEALTH: Some of the nicest people you know end up getting terrible diseases and dying, while inconsiderate a-holes are in perfect health. Discuss.7.NEIGHBORS: especially neighbors who have no concept of disturbing other people. This includes, but is most certainly not limited to: people who play their terrible music too loud, people who let their dogs bark for hours on end, people with loud children who seem to want the neighborhood to babysit for them, and people with loud cars.8.WEIGHT: That's where you eat a carrot stick every day and gain four pounds, while your annoying friends and co-workers weigh 100 pounds and complain about how fat they think they are, OR (perhaps even worse) say things on social media like "Oh yeah...I can eat whatever I want and I never gain weight!" when you know full well they have an eating disorder.9.KIDS: you are supposed to love them and take care of them, so why are they such jerks?

Book Description
How To Do Negative Journaling Negative journaling is meant to help us whenever we get caught up in a cycle of negative thoughts. At times when our minds keep feeding on an unpleasant experience, or when we get hurt or offended by a close friend or relative, or even when it gets hard for us to just stay afloat and happy. If all of this bothers you and you want to break free of the constant cycle, pick up a pen and follow these steps. Start with a prompt: To get to the root of it, you first need to think and realize how you are feeling, and that will be utilized as the beginning point of your breakthrough. For instance, it could be like 'I was really hurt when so and so said that to me...' or 'I don't feel my best today because....' Free write: Once you are done with establishing the prompt, scribble down everything that comes to your mind on a piece of paper. You do not need to worry about the format or your grammar, as this process is for you and you only. Just like dumping your brain on a piece of paper, the purpose of this step is to unload all the negative thoughts. Watch for what comes out: As you jot down all the reasons that are causing you to stay in the continuous pattern of negativity, you will come across the actual source of the problem. Most of the time, thinking it through only takes a couple of minutes, or sometimes a little longer. In the end, you will always get to the root of the fear or insecurity that has been making your mental health miserable. Discard what you have written: Don't forget, discarding everything you have written the most essential step. The purpose of writing all your negative thoughts down on a paper is not to keep coming back to it in the future and make yourself miserable. If you feel that you have said everything that you had to say, there is no point in holding on to it. Throw it away. Do whatever you want to do, rip it away, put it on fire, crumble the paper and throw it out of your life, when you are getting rid of the piece of paper, get it off of your mind as well. This is the most fulfilling step out of all. The whole point of doing it is that when you physically discard the paper, you will mentally dump it out of your system as well. NOTEBOOK FEATURES: Funny cover design! Matte, softcover 120 pages 7x10 size Great gift!

Book Description
A Decade of Negative Thinking brings together writings on contemporary art and culture by the painter and feminist art theorist Mira Schor. Mixing theory and practice, the personal and the political, she tackles questions about the place of feminism in art and political discourse, the aesthetics and values of contemporary painting, and the influence of the market on the creation of art. Schor writes across disciplines and is committed to the fluid interrelationship between a formalist aesthetic, a literary sensibility, and a strongly political viewpoint. Her critical views are expressed with poetry and humor in the accessible language that has been her hallmark, and her perspective is informed by her dual practice as a painter and writer and by her experience as a teacher of art. In essays such as “The ism that dare not speak its name,” “Generation 2.5,” “Like a Veneer,” “Modest Painting,” “Blurring Richter,” and “Trite Tropes, Clichés, or the Persistence of Styles,” Schor considers how artists relate to and represent the past and how the art market influences their choices: whether or not to disavow a social movement, to explicitly compare their work to that of a canonical artist, or to take up an exhausted style. She places her writings in the rich transitory space between the near past and the “nextmodern.” Witty, brave, rigorous, and heartfelt, Schor’s essays are impassioned reflections on art, politics, and criticism.

Book Description
Do you sometimes feel . . . Down, depressed, or unhappy? Anxious, panicky, or insecure? Guilty, inadequate, or worthless? Lonely, unwanted, or alone? For decades, we've been told that "negative" feelings like depression and anxiety are the result of what's wrong with us, which creates feelings of shame and makes it sound like we're broken and need to be "fixed." But what if we have it all backwards? What if our negative moods do not result from what's wrong with us but, rather, what's right with us? This is the revolutionary mind shift you will find in Feeling Great. Written by Dr. David Burns, a pioneer of cognitive therapy and author of the national bestseller Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, this book describes a groundbreaking high-speed treatment for depression and anxiety based on one simple notion: Our struggles actually reflect what is most beautiful about us. And when we can see our negative thoughts and feelings from this radically different perspective, recovery becomes possible--sometimes even in the blink of an eye! Based on Dr. Burns's 40+ years of research and more than 40,000 hours treating individuals with severe mood issues, Feeling Great is filled with inspiring real-life case studies and more than 50 actionable tools to crush the negative thoughts that rob you of happiness and self-esteem. You can change the way you feel. In fact, you owe it to yourself to feel GREAT!
