‘Leave the pain of the past behind and create a re-vision for your future’
Author Anita Washington earned her Masters in Education and her MBA and is a Counselor and Personal Development Coach helping women become emotionally whole, healed, healthy, and happy. Creator of the 7-Step Method, she teaches women to live unashamed of their secret story and go from stuck to unstoppable with an old soul and a comedic, honest voice. On her Emotional Happiness Podcast with That Anita Live and her story-packed speaking, she offers advice on how to make tough choices and fight to stay focused in the face of adversity. She’s a Personal Success Strategist, Women’s Empowerment Expert, and Inspirational Speaker.
One of the many assets of Anita’s rich book is her warm humor that lightens subjects that might otherwise be uncomfortably challenging to address. N her Preface he sets the tone of the wisdom that follows - Welcome to the first step in your transformational journey! Soon you will be shedding the plague of the past and creating a re-vision for your future. But before you embark on any new journey, what is the first thing you do? You assess where you are! That’s exactly what we’re going to do before we jump into the 7-Step Method. In this eBook we will determine whether or not you can be honest about what has you in a cloud of unhappiness, how you’ve been managing it, the number one emotion that keeps you stuck, and what stage of the emotional baggage life cycle you’re in. Emotional baggage is no respecter of persons. Everyone is susceptible. Just like those gorgeous Stepford figures on the front cover of this eBook, even the prettiest, most highly educated, privileged, and affluent women have emotional baggage, despite class, race, or money. If you think you are the only one, you’re not. The 7-Step Method is simple to understand but difficult to execute. The difficulty comes when you have to visually relive negative experiences and make decisions and choices that will be different from anything you’ve ever done, choices that will affect the rest of your life.’
From this stance she divides her book into sections - Are you following the crowd?, Is your life stuck in neutral, Do this now to avoid lifetime regret, and then she continues with her well explained seven steps: - Step One: Life Mapping, Step Two: Track & Trace Your Life, Step Three: Dispose of Distractions, Step Four: Celebrating Self, Step Five: Inner Peace & Quiet ,Step Six: Annual Performance Review Equation, and Step Seven: Gratitude & Give Back.
Healthy, helpful and entertaining all at once, Anita knows how to keep her readership’s attention focused. This is a fine little book that stands to help many women (and men for that matter).

7 Simple Steps to Beat Emotional Baggage by Anita Washington is without question a powerful step by step well explained journey that will take the reader on a path that will aid in the healing of one's fractured emotions. The author helps to fulfill the emotional healing journey of the reader by being blunt, candid and providing a powerful roadmap consisting of 7 steps that will challenge the reader to be honest with themselves.
Additionally, Ms. Washington provides, in great clarity, a number of powerful insights into the emotional psyche of a human being. One such insight is that we basically adhere to two human emotions. Those emotions are fear and love. She then proceeds to share with reader how we respond to fear. We can both manage it and proceed or we stay on the treadmill of fear.
Additionally, 7 Simple Steps to Beat Emotional Baggage by Anita Washington provides practical insight, scenarios that the reader will probably relate to, a devised formula (emotional equation) to analyze one's emotion and even provide a teaching on one's personal finances.
Finally, what spoke the loudest, is the author's authentic concern for the emotional well-being of her audience. So much so, that she invites correspondence through professional channels.

I started this book with high hopes and I have to say the first quarter of this was of quality and I appreciated looking back into my life to pick it apart and recover. Recovery in acceptance.
I did struggle with it as a lot of the examples used involved abuse and I read the book not expecting to be over ridden with this type info content.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve read quite a few self help books already and perhaps this would be beneficial for someone who doesn’t.
Within the last sections of the book it begins to discuss finance and keeping a financial balance. I felt this wasn’t necessary to add into the book.
I did however like how you can read this in chunks and it gives you activities to work with. I plan on taking the time to go through my life and record the memories as suggested.

This book is a Godsend!
It's difficult to recognise and to admit the emotional baggage that holds us back in life. And when we do, it's unclear what to do about it OR, there's the big question... WHAT NOW?!?! This book answers that question and much much more. This book is also useful for those who may not have baggage but may want to have a better understanding and compassion towards others (they interact with) who may be carrying some serious emotional baggage. I love the perspective, the language, the tone and the vibe of this book and I highly recommend this great read!

This is a pithy book with a lot of great information. The author comes along with the reader on her journey to help the reader improve themselves. I liked the tone of the book as well as the 37 pages of extras that you can get once you have the book. These extras help the reader put into action what the author recommends in her book. The book includes some things I have read before, but in a different way and with different ways to use. I like the book and recommend it.

Learning to be a healed happy you, is a long rough road. This book seems to help the journey. I honestly feel I should reread this book as I read with out doing which is not the idea! However I still walk away with some skills and ideas on how to be healthy and happy.

A book on becoming healed and healthy - There seem to be steps I could take but for now I only skimmed and gave brief thought to this book. Not at all what the author is suggesting I do. I think this a book I can revisit and truly grow on.

Very practical and effective advice.
Anita gently but firmly leads the reader down the path of why they feel and act the way they do. Her advice is not complicated. It is do-able. And the more I practiced the easier it became. Doing the work reaps the benefits!
