Bit by Bit: reclaim meaning, purpose and pleasure in everyday life is part theory, part practical steps towards giving people the tools to live an engaging and fulfilling life. Bit by Bit will appeal to people who live with a roller coaster of emotions, energy or pain that affects everything they do (and don't do); who have been blindsided by health problems or a major life event; or who simply feel that life is unsatisfying and not what they had hoped. Bit by Bit explores an occupational therapy approach to daily living. It examines the underlying proposition that what you actually do, or don't do, each day is the product of a host of interactions, not all of which relate to your circumstances and capabilities. By exploring these, interactions you will open up a whole, new range of possibilities to help your day be more fulfilling, energising and inspiring. There are no quick fixes in this book, positive change happens Bit by Bit. Using an umbrella analogy to explain the theory behind her approach, the author guides the reader to understand that:
• to create change you don't need new skills - you can change what you do and how you do things to get vastly different results. • you can nurture and maintain positive change without it becoming overwhelming • you can temper your emotional reactions to life without expending huge amounts of energy to do so.
