What is this book about?
Seven morning and evening practices to revolutionize your life, from the bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning.
This small book can change everything if you let it. It’s Up to You is based on the twelve principles in the author’s Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow: tending to our own gardens, focusing on solutions not problems, letting go of preconceived solutions, changing our minds, acting instead of reacting, giving up judgments, giving up trying to control, discovering our own lessons, doing no harm, quieting our minds, treating every encounter as the holy, and discerning our mind’s own truth.
It’s Up to You invites listeners to do three simple things: meditate, pay attention, and make choices to change their lives—for a few minutes each morning and evening, one principle a week for twelve weeks. As we reflect on Casey’s insight into the insidious ways we create misery or drama, try to impose will, and suffer needlessly, and as we follow her gentle prompts to make different choices, we begin to see that we can change just about anything in our lives by taking these small steps. As Karen Casey puts it, “Progress is guaranteed. Perfection isn’t expected.”
