Balanced Living by Robert M. Knight Pdf

In Balanced Living: Don't Let Your Strength Become Your Weakness, Robert Knight develops the theme of balance as central to good mental health, to moral and spiritual health, to emotional well-being, and to social functioning. This theme emerges from his more than thirty years of experience as a Christian minister, as a counselor, as a teacher and clinical supervisor of counselors, as well as from experience as a management and human-relations consultant. According to Knight, when we are failing or falling, it isn't always because of some inadequacy or limitation; it is rather because we have taken a strength (or it has taken us) too far--a strength that has become a weakness. The signature chapter, Balanced Living, addresses such common tensions as success and failure. It asks: How seriously do you take yourself? What time is it in your life? Following chapters cover balanced families, balance and personality type (using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), and balanced religion (achieving healthy moral and spiritual balance). Based on common questions, the chapter on Counseling and Psychotherapy guides consumers of professional counseling services. Topics include the various types of mental health service providers and theoretical approaches to counseling. The final chapter discusses human developmental models (in particular that of Erik Erikson), addresses certain values implicit in the counseling process, and treats certain theological assumptions from a Hebrew-Christian perspective. Mental health professionals, pastors, and others involved in helping people (as well as students preparing for such vocations) will find this book informative and challenging, perhaps even confirming. The book also engages laypersons--consumers of professional counseling and related mental, emotional, moral, spiritual, and relational health services. Of particular value are the case studies, examples, and illustrations presented in Balanced Living: Don't Let Your Strength Become Your Weakness.

Lagom by Linnea Dunne Pdf

Step aside Hygge. Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life and examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017's World Happiness Report. Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip. But while the anecdote may hit the nail on the head, the true etymology of the word points to an old form of the word 'lag', which means 'law'. Far from restrictive, lagom is a liberating concept, praising the idea that anything more than 'just enough' is a waste of time. Crucially it also comes with a selflessness and core belief of responsibility and common good. By living lagom you can: Live a happier and more balanced life Reduce your environmental impact Improve your work-life balance Free your home from clutter Enjoy good food the Swedish way Grow your own and learn to forage Cherish the relationships with those you love

Living a Balanced Life by Glenn I. Miller Pdf

Why do some people facing difficulties in their lives not only survive but thrive through such experiences, while others facing similar situations fall apart, lose their way, and have little direction or purpose in their lives? Author Glenn I. Miller holds that the difference rests on realities concerning relationships—specifically with ones having to do with living a balanced life. In this study, he shows how people who listen to the teachings and follow the leadership of Jesus find ways to discover durable balance despite the adversity they face. By providing a guided exploration of the ministry of Jesus, Miller demonstrates that balance, fullness, and purpose come when you practice the threefold ways of love of God, others, and self. Devoting one section to each of these forms of love, Living a Balanced Life outlines how you can learn to live in balance by avoiding the excesses illustrated in contemporary culture, listening to the teachings of the Lord, and gaining insights from Miller’s experiences in military and civilian ministry. The final section draws together the insights from the first three sections and suggests ways to live with balance. If you have taken stock of your life and relationships and hope to find a pathway to living with greater balance, Living a Balanced Life can offer you an informative and enjoyable resource filled with biblical wisdom, helpful truths, intriguing illustrations, dashes of humor, and commonsense wisdom.

From home design and work-life balance, to personal well-being and environmental sustainability, author Anna Brones presents valuable Swedish-inspired tips and actionable ways to create a more intentional, healthy lifestyle. Instead of thinking about how we can work less, lagom teaches us to think about how we can work better.

A God-Balanced Life by James Puckett Sr. Pdf

When I speak about being balanced, I am referring to a balance in living a spiritual lifestyle--a balance in living by the Word of God. God has placed value on your life, whether you have made Him Lord and Savior or not. And He desires that you live up to that value. What value do you place on your own life? How do you compare your life versus that of an unsaved person? God took an appraisal of humans and placed such value on it that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross as a way of reconciling us back in relationship with Him. I was lost. You were lost. God said, "No, no." We are too valuable to leave in a fallen state. Balancing how you live means weighing advantages against disadvantages of every area of your life because there are consequences to your actions. Living an unbalanced life means there is a contrast between your way of living and the way God desires for you to live. This is what this book, A God-Balanced Life, is about. It's about the whole man--spirit, body, and soul. It is written to focus on the whole person, the person that you see every time you look into a mirror--you. Our life should be a mirror to the world that reflects the image of Christ. Imagine your life being a scale and the scale is balanced by how you should live it. And how you live is based on the Word of God. Your way of living should be balanced by God's word. Let's get ready to live a God-balanced life. Imbalance leads to unstable. Unstable leads to discontentment. Discontentment leads to never knowing what it means to be fulfilled in Christ. A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
