From health diagnoses to horrible bosses, there is no shortage of hard times and hot messes. Life will inevitably throw you some challenging situations. But don't quit just yet. You can probably still squeeze some good times out of this! Making Lemonade is an antidote to an existential crisis. This humorous and slightly irreverent self-development guide holds relatable personal stories with practical pathways to managing the lemons that get pelted our way. Walking us through a journey from self-discovery to questioning existence, we will find ways to reconnect with ourselves, other people, and this absurd world we live in to gain insight into our personal purpose. This book comes with a free downloadable workbook that will take you through the exercises in the book. Scribble your notes and draw whatever you like through it, just take some time for yourself! The book is in three sections: Understanding Yourself We've all done a personality test, there's no need to rehash that, but if we look a little differently at ourselves and our life, we can identify some areas that are working, things to work on, and reconnect with who we really are. Journey through examining PREFERENCES, PRIORITIES and PATTERNS to consider all the elements of what makes you, you. Regularly checking our mental health, and embracing personal responsibility, our awareness draws us nearer to our truest selves. Which is surely a good place to live from? Connecting with Others Humans are a deep mystery. People's choices and behaviours can be infuriating one minute and beautiful the next. Taking the time to consider our place with other people can open up new avenues for fulfilling connections with our close contacts, and even people we pass by day to day. We look at how humans are relating to one another in this modern world, and how to ANCHOR our connections - Acceptance, Non-Judgment, Compassion, Honesty, Openness, Relationship for a broader, empathetic view of how we fit into the tribe, avoid letting those human quirks bother us as much, and foster closeness with loved ones. Rediscovering authentic connection is totally in fashion. The Absurdity of Life It's a complex beast to navigate, and nobody really knows why the hell we are here. Looking at the foundations of our existence and the modern challenges we face can give some insights into how the systems and culture of western society impact our lives. Looking beyond what's just in front of us to a bigger picture is a healthy way to gain insight into the context of life and find our own place in the maze. Discover what parts of this crazy world really resonate with you in the MEANING MATRIX and remember the universal truths we all share in this human experience. Without trying to sound to like a buddhist monk, there is suffering in this existence, but we can find ways to survive, and maybe even thrive through it...Live, Laugh, Lobotomy as they say!
