Have you become so busy that you feel light-years away from the essence of your own true self and from what really matters? If so, The Busy Person's Guide to Balance and Boundaries was written for you. The first in a series of three, The Busy Person's Guide to Inner Healing and The Busy Person's Guide to Joy and Fulfillment will follow. But getting our feet back under us is where we must begin. This book leads the way by providing a clear, efficient, and effective pathway for establishing boundaries and recovering physical, emotional, and spiritual energy. At the same time, its workbook format guides us easily through a process of improving and deepening relationships, with ourselves, others, and a Higher Consciousness with which we yearn to connect. Based on years of working with individuals, couples, and groups, and expertise in the areas of spirituality, psychology, and recovery principles, the wisdom imparted simply and honestly throughout these pages is nothing short of profound. Betty Hill Crowson has given us a roadmap to recover our true selves at our own pace, empowering us to make the giant leap from human "doing" to a happier, and infinitely more content, human being.
