Living With Little Chicken

So who is Little Chicken? Little Chicken is to anxiety as the Black Dog is to depression. Living an authentic life is not about being ÔhappyÕ all the time; itÕs about accepting the full range of thoughts and feelings that arise in your life. This book is to help you reconnect with thoughts and feelings youÕve been pushing away, the ones that you and others believe you shouldnÕt be having.

WeÕre often told we should be striving to be happy, that thereÕs no room in our lives for negative feelings. Negative feelings are ÔbadÕ and we shouldnÕt feel anything other than positive thoughts. ÔLook at all the good things you have, there are people far worse off than you ÉÕ Please remember, this expectation is not real. Of course there will be good times when thereÕs a spring in your step, but there will also be times when things feel like they are crashing down around you, and you need a good cry. Or you might just be having a bad day. Bad days do not mean you are a bad person, a failure, or weak. And you are most certainly not alone in having them. Share this book with family and friends, and you are likely to find that they too have their own Little Chicken thoughts and feelings.
