Don’t just make a change – make it last! We all have areas of our lives in which we’d like to see improvement, and in fact we often resolve to do things differently. But how often are we able to bring about permanent change? Best-selling author Becky Tirabassi has been writing about – and living–a changed life with over 25 years of sobriety. She now shares not just how to "Change Your Life," but more importantly, how to "Keep the Change." The secret to lifelong transformation–rather than another failed New Year’s resolution– involves more than just recognizing some important self-truths, Tirabassi writes. That’s a good starting point, but where do you go from there? What steps do you take to make the change last so that you are · Harnessing your pain · Taming your temperament · Guarding your mind · Developing a lifelong strategy? Tirabassi’s advice is clear and direct–and doable, offered by someone who herself has "hit rock bottom" and found hope along the way. She addresses challenges we all face– from overcoming anger, procrastination, and disorganized lifestyles – as well as fulfilling an impossible dream. And at every step, she shares not as a psychologist with technical expertise, but as a friend who says, "Here’s what works for me, and I know it will work for you, too." So grab a pen – yes, there are some writing assignments – and get ready to make some radical new commitments and lifestyle adjustments in your journey to Keep the Change.
