Wouldn’t it be great if … You never compared yourself to anyone else? Every mistake you made didn’t drag you down, but lifted you up? You could identify and protect yourself from others who don’t have your best interests at heart? In Space How to Eliminate Toxicity in Your Life and Stay in Control of Your Choices, author, speaker, and inspirational sporting coach Ang Barton will show you how to see your qualities, understand your place in the world, and own your personal space. The concepts you will learn in this practical and inspiring self-help book are a compilation of strategies Ang has incorporated into her work supporting young people see their world through a unique lens and imagine a better outlook for their future. As a trained educator with over 30 years of experience, Ang has worked with young people in schools, sporting groups, and the private sector, guiding individuals, teams, and organizations to uncover their own identities, and become the future leaders of tomorrow. For people of all ages, living in a culture that glamorizes perfect lives can make you feel like you are in a constant state of failure. But with self-awareness of yourself and your space, you don’t have to waste time worrying about the judgements of others or get caught up in toxicity. There’s no need to dwell on the mistakes made by you, or those mistakes that hurt you. Instead, they can be seen as road signs that help to guide you in your journey through life. This book sets out an easy-to-follow process that begins with a thorough understanding of your personal space. This is the invisible, somewhat permeable space that holds everything that makes you … you. It includes your personality, values, standards, codes, morality, wants, needs, spirit, preferences, gifts and more. As we move through life, we may allow others into our space, and we may choose to share from our space. Our education, experiences, influences, and traumas all enter our space too. Sometimes things within our space take up more room than we’d like. Sometimes they fill us with joy and happiness, or anger and sadness. Understanding the spatial reasoning behind this, allows you to exercise self-management of your space for better outcomes. Knowing how our emotions impact our space and identifying and freeing yourself from toxicity, allows you to see yourself and your place in the world a little differently. If you want to keep your personal space clear of those people and circumstances that invade it, this is a must-read book for you. After reading, you will be better equipped to face the inevitable and unpredictable challenges that life presents with a positive and more confident outlook that will set you up for better future. With Ang’s guidance, a little time, and a willingness to see your world with a lens that is unique to you, you can begin your journey towards spatial awareness today. So … will it be ONE DAY or DAY ONE? YOU DECIDE.
