    About this ebook

    Handbook of psychological exercises to improve your self-knowledgde

    The book was intended to improve the psychological well-being with oneself, while putting an emphasis on oneself and improving the relationships with oneself and the others. It helps the participant reader because apart from reading, he or she will have to give their own contribution throughout a psychological and physical process, in order to improve their own emotional harmony. It refers to security, self-esteem, the relationship with the others and confronting stressful situations.

    The exercises are structured on four chapters, called “STEPS”, because they lead the person throughout a psychological, physical and creative journey, which helps the participant reader to better get in touch with oneself, to know more about him/her psychologically, manage to express parts of themselves and understand how to manage difficult situations.

      Four Steps to Love Yourself. Techniques to Improve Your Own Psychological Well-Being - Laura Pedrinelli Carrara

      Introduction

      This book aims to create an exclusive space for people who want to start taking care of themselves, which is also essential for those who take care of others, while learning to really love. Within this space, the individual will learn how to give himself the right attention and how to be better off with himself and with others.

      The need to create a book of practical exercises to improve the well-being with oneself and with others stems from the fact that today's society improves the quality of our lives with new technologies that make life and work easier, but limit us in real inter-relationships and communication with others. In fact, we can take advantage of faster and more economically accessible shipping methods, through which we can discover directly and easily other social realities. We have the opportunity to carry out business, social activities, recreational or professional activities directly from our tablet, P.C. and even with the mobile phone, in order to expand our knowledge in general and to meet more easily people to confront with. All this makes feasible the possibility of a fuller and more satisfying life.

      On the other hand, our society leads us to deal with more significant and critical needs, with shortages due to the demands which it creates itself, with goals that are not always so easy to reach and with interpersonal relationships that are not always effective or even hostile. Moreover, we are increasingly accustomed to interacting with other people but less and less to relate with each other, to deepen our knowledge and to deal effectively with others. If in the past going to the grocery store was an occasion to meet with the neighbors and make exchanges with the shopkeepers, something to which many of us were accustomed from an early age, now we can enter into a single hypermarket, where we find everything we need and we wouldn’t have thought it could interest us, and then to exit, going through the automatic cash, without talking to anyone.

      Sometimes it happens that we feel misunderstood by those around us, and we find it hard to understand how we could make everything  clear. We can tolerate that our partner does not want to meet us, but we find ourselves more and more selfish or in difficulty to communicate and to engage spontaneously with someone else.

      It also happens that life rhythms compel us to comply with busy schedules and deadlines, which does not leave us too much time to deal with, while other times we lack the knowledge regarding how to handle that particular situation or we feel that it is too difficult to empathize with those who are very distant from us.

      In many cases, we think firstly of others than to ourselves, and we get to the second, third or even last place just to satisfy those who are close to us. We often get rewards, but in some situations, when we are asking again if we can do it, we do not find a long string of people ready to listen to us. After all, we gave them the habit to be always supported by us and we gave little space to the contrary!

      We are entering a kind of a spiral in which we move more mechanically, away from our very essence. We perceive, but we find it hard to live and to be able to express ourselves freely or heterogeneously.

      While using this book, you will be helped by the reader-participant, because in addition to reading you will have to make a contribution through a series of psychological and psycho-body type, in order to improve your emotional harmony, your sense of security, Self-esteem , your relationship with others and you will learn how to deal with stressful situations.

      The exercises are evolving within 4 chapters called Steps, as they will lead the person on a psychological way, body-related and creative that will help the reader-participant contact himself in a better way, better know himself psychologically, in order to be able to express parts of himself and to understand how to handle critical situations. For this reason, it is crucial to exercises according to the established procedure and not jump from one chapter to another; in fact, if you want to get results it is important to work on yourself gradually, otherwise, certain psychological aspects might not be well introspected or expressed.

      The book is not intended to be a behavioral dictionary, but a way to help the person better focus their psychological resources and the most useful criterion for himself (as a unique and different person from all the others) and also to help finding the answers.

      A path made of 4 steps: indications regarding how to use the book

      The exercises in the book are psychological activities targeted to a specific goal that is your own personal well-being.             

      In order to help you better understand the psychological dynamics on which you will work, at every point of the route it will be explored the central theme of the chapter. I will ask you to perform simple but effective exercises where you will be accompanied by the definition of the objective of that particular activity and the detailed explanation of what you are being asked to do. For example, It is useful to get the best contact with your emotional state of the moment or to let you download the nervous tension. For each exercise it is explained in a clear and immediate manner the conduct and the how to answer what you are asked to do.

      As you might have read already in the introduction to the book, I refer to psychological and psycho-body exercises because apart from making written or colored responses for a psychological work, I will also ask you to conduct some breathing techniques, or movement, in order to put your body in harmony with your psyche.

      It is very important that you perform the exercises spontaneously, so if
