Ignite Calm: A Self Help Book to Stepping Out of Your Own Way

We all want to succeed in life and in our career but there are always obstacles that keep us from being the best person that we can be. There are times when we ourselves are actually one of those obstacles. So how exactly are we holding ourselves back? How can we change that? We have the power to change our surroundings, career, happiness, and anything else that we set out mind to. Dr. Debra J. Snyder teaches us how to get out of our own way in her book Ignite Calm: Achieving Bliss in Your Work.

Dr. Snyder gives us insight into how we can live our life and use weaknesses as something to build strength and move forward. The most important thing to follow when reading this book and after reading this book is what Debra J. Snyder calls CALM. These are four questions that will help us connect with ourselves. So it’s important that you ask yourself:

Creativity: Have I looked at this situation creatively?
Authenticity: Am I being true to my personal values and goals?
Luminosity: Am I bringing the best of me to this issue?
Mindfulness: How does this situation affect my life and others?

When it comes down to it, we really need to change the way we think about ourselves. If we are not happy then we really can’t move forward on our path and journey to enlightenment and success. In Chapter Two: Creativity of Ignite Calm: Achieving Bliss in Your Work, Dr. Debra J. Snyder states, “our ability to bring levity and a unique perspective to difficult situations determines our success and also our happiness” (pg. 19). It is harder than it sounds to be happy and have that success follow, especially when you have issues like money holding you back at times.

In Chapter 7: Money & Abundance, Dr. Debra J. Snyder touches on the money fact. She stresses that it is not important to have all the money in the world and material things. While money can bring a lot of problems, it is important to use money to our advantage and control it, “Once we escape the stranglehold of money’s power, we allow ourselves to live life more vibrantly, without concern. We control the money, instead of money controlling us. Without attachment, we are able to make decisions with clarity without being distracted by the passions of an addictive monetary love affair” (pg. 96). Once we are able to break the control that money has on us, we can finally gain that clarity.

So if you need that little bit of inspiration or a push forward make sure to pick up a copy of this book. This book gives you the tools so that you are able to gain clarity in whatever environment you are in. A lot of us have a very hectic life when it comes to our jobs or our daily life in general; and most of us don’t know how to deal with the craziness that comes from juggling so many things at once. Ignite Calm: Achieving Bliss in Your Work will open your eyes and help you understand what you can change in yourself to create a happier and better life. Because without clarity you really can’t succeed and move forward, and that is what Dr. Debra J. Snyder is trying to teach in this book.
