The Art of Stepping in it and Smelling Like a Rose: A Guide to Overcoming the Anxiety of Rebuilding a Life

By Darbi Wray

Whose life is perfect? If we're honest, none will admit that their life is perfect. What do we do when life takes a turn, curve, or twist that we didn't expect? When life just happens, stress and anxiety often follow. The fear of the unknown is very real, and the opposite of fear is faith.

The Art of Stepping in It and Smelling Like a Rose is about personal development, improvement, and working through the stress and anxiety of life. The author, Darbi Wray, boldly asserts that overcoming life's anxiety depends on building and strengthening a spiritual foundation and growing in the spiritual principles that make the world good, such as peace, love, joy, humility, forgiveness, and self-control. The text includes solutions to anxiety and stresses of life, including education on anxiety and coping skills, personal stories of overcoming, a Bible guide, practical tools to organize, prioritize, and place the focus from problems to solutions.

Perhaps the most life-changing piece of the text is the four-step program of self-discovery, which is aimed at fostering two premier concepts in overcoming: self-awareness and personal power. The program in The Art of Stepping in it and Smelling Like a Rose is a simple (not the same as easy) and concise program that assists the struggling person to recognize what parts of their lives (and in themselves) need repair and discovering how to grow and live in spiritual principles.

Although this process may seem contradictory to overcoming anxiety, cleaning up spiritual messes and growing in their opposites will change a person's perspectives and focus, which, in turn, assists them in moving forward with their lives
