Bright Words for Dark Days: Meditations for Women Who Get the Blues

Depression is currently recognized as the most  prevalent emotional problem affecting women. The  "blues" may be a passing reaction to  disappointment or loss, a response to overwhelming daily  stress, or related to a biological factor such as  PMS or postpartum changes. But whatever the cause,  self-care and new ways of thinking are always part  of the solution. In 365 daily meditations,  Bright Words For Dark Days provides  specific information and gentle, step-by-step guidance  to lift the gloom. Each entry begins with a  provocative quotation and ends with an affirmation for  the day. The topics treated range from low  self-esteem, fear of the future and self-destructive  thoughts, to dealing with family troubles, holiday  depressions, and seeking medical help.
