Most of us believe we should have some sort of daily rituals to stay physically healthy: exercise, eat right, and go to the doctor on a regular basis, but when it comes to our emotional health what are we doing to stay fit? In this book, Laura Coe argues that we are taught from a young age to get over our feelings, but instead we carry their weight throughout life. The messages they create—of not being good enough, not worthy, undeserving–become the guiding principles of our lives. That’s what she calls emotional obesity. She suggests the solution to our emotional weight is, first to set a goal is to become aware of our feelings. Then subscribe to the habit of daily rituals for our emotional health, just as we have for our physical health. By doing this we can free ourselves from the destructive and unresolved feelings of the unconscious mind and begin to direct our lives from our authentic self where our true passions and desires reside. "With honesty, authenticity and humor, Laura Coe gives us a model for personal empowerment and growth that anyone can follow.
