Atreverse a vivir

by Miriam Subirana

Vivir sin nervios y vivir con plenitud incrementa la calidad de vida y no hace más felices. Porque el miedo frena e impide hacer lo que quieres hacer, no deja que tu energía fluya y debilita el bienestar y la salud en general. Además, el miedo impide la capacidad de razonar con libertad, discernir entre posibles caminos o iniciar otros despejados y nuevos. Decidir bajo la influencia del miedo no suele llevar a la plenitud, ni a la claridad de ideas, la transparencia o la luz. Para fortalecerte has de liberarte de algunas debilidades y complejos, y, sobre todo, dejar de compararte con los demás. En cambio, aceptarte fortalece tus cualidades y te ayuda a ser tú mismo.

Much of our lives are spent going through the motions. We go to work. We take care of our family. We try to get through each day the best we can. There really doesn’t seem like there is much room for anything else.

At some point though, we realize that our life isn’t exactly what we had dreamed it would be. We realize that we’ve spend much of our time letting fear run our lives. We’ve told ourselves that we can’t follow our dreams because we aren’t smart enough, rich enough, or courageous enough to do so. We can’t show our true selves because someone might think we are silly. They might even stop loving us.

Dare to Live looks at fear in all its many forms and manifestations. The book discusses how we allow fear to limit us and how these seemingly real barriers can be supplanted with healthier behaviors. The author also includes a variety of easy to use meditations that can be used to improve awareness and release unhealthy ways of thinking and acting.

I have been reading so many books but was unable to review!
But I'm unable to resist myself for this one.
The title already said lot about this book!
This book has kind of power to change yourself change the thinking process into a positive one.
The readers can literally learn a lot about this one
~We often feel fear in many phase of our life but sometimes the fear is so illogical and even don't have any context.
~ But still we feel something is stopping us!
~ That time we need to let our mind erase what is useless
~We have to value our time!
This book talks about our biggest obstacle of success "Fear" and also scientific way of overcoming it!
The best part of this book, that I liked about the book is how the author the importance of silence/being silent!
"With the practice of silence you will be able to calm down the speed of your thoughts and listen to your heart. The power of silence takes you beyond all the limited attractions and any physical possession !
To reach Wholeness, a complete and perfect state, it is necessary to recover the Power of Silence"

This book is even much more than what we can think of!
I just can't describe the whole thing as it talks about so many things in a beautiful way and all in simple yet lucid language!
The title is just perfect if you judge it by the content!
Overall, a must read!

This is one of those books that just annoys me.
Yes , it's better for us to wear rose tinted glasses, living life in silence, meditation, allowing pains,aches,worries, thoughts, to just flow by like a cloud ☁️
But we are on this earth having a human experience wearing Shades..it must be so difficult to forgive a rapist, a murderer someone that's done you the highest wrong! Yet we are supposed to just allow it to flow by, the past is done. Think positive thoughts and life will be bliss. 🥺

Un libro de gran utilidad que trata temas tan importantes como el miedo (en todas sus vertientes), la soledad, el amor, nuestro pasado... Un largo recorrido por todas las situaciones que nos pueden afectar en nuestro día a día y la manera de afrontarlas de forma sanadora para poder así seguir con nuestro camino. Aspectos positivos y también los dañinos, reforzados con ejemplos de casos reales y con mensajes de positividad como vía para lograr nuestro objetivo de tener una vida plena y feliz. Herramientas que te ayudan a abrir la mirada y a contemplar las cosas desde otro punto de vista no tan perjudicial para nuestro bienestar.
El amor como la fuerza que todo lo mueve y desde el cual todo es posible. Amor que reside en nosotros y que de nuestro interior emerge para mostrarse al mundo en su más pura esencia.
Nuestras creencias y carencias que pueden ser trabajadas para sentirnos de otra manera más adecuada. Frases que te llegan al Alma, otras que te hacen llorar al mostrarte una realidad que no lo es tanto y, sobretodo, mucha esperanza, ya que es algo crucial para poder mostrar todo tu amor y para lograr los cambios que en ti desees provocar.
Un libro cercano a lo espiritual sin salirse de lo terrenal. Cuerpo, mente y espíritu van de la mano. Es por ello que se complementa con unas meditaciones guiadas maravillosas que puedes leer en sus páginas finales o escuchar en el CD que va incluido.
Una oportunidad para seguir aprendiendo y creciendo, para darte cuenta y para sentir. Para atreverte a vivir de manera sana y sin condiciones.

While the message is interesting and important, the writing is quite annoying and made it difficult to get through even the first chapter. Subirana is from Spain, I think, so the issue might partly be one of writing in a foreign language...but not entirely.

Um livro de leitura lenta e de muito conteúdo para reflexão.
