When the Black Dog Nips, Pat the Cat

A simple 'feel-good' guide for women experiencing anxiety and the 'blues.'

As the song goes, 'Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks." It's also been said, "You can't keep a good woman down." Well, that's true too, even if you are feeling low and finding it difficult to climb back up.

Sometimes as a woman, you can go through periods of feeling anxious and blue. Maybe the kids have left home, you are in the heat of menopause, and when you look in the mirror - all you see are wrinkles. Or it can be a health crisis. Or sometimes it can seem like you are feeling low for no real reason at all. Whatever the case, this little guide will be of benefit to you.

Don't let the "Black Dog nip." Patting the cat - that is;simply being with a furry four-legged friend can indeed help, as well as learning to slow down, eating differently and practising meditation. They are just some of the many simple tips you can enjoy in this book.

The author, who runs an aromatic oils company in New Zealand, has experienced anxiety herself at different periods in her life. She uses her knowledge to include references to herbs and essential oils to aid healing in a holistic manner.

The guide includes a set of beautiful images with inspirational quotations.
