Book excerpt: Crisis is inevitable, but Day (Practical Intuition), a self-described "intuitive healer" and "beacon for people in crisis," believes crisis can be a catalyst for change. She relates her own tragedies: her mother committed suicide when Day was 14; years later, her marriage ended, leaving Day impoverished and with a newborn son to raise. She relates how she learned to let go of her former life and reinvent herself by penning a bestselling self-help manual and within a few years had earned almost $4 million. Most readers won't be so fortunate in recovering from their crises, but Day presents a wide variety of exercises—such as making a list of people you can reach out to and rewriting your "personal mythology"—that can assist those struggling through emotional hard times. The main thing, she says, is to go on with daily tasks that keep you grounded, from paying bills to exercising. One should avoid letting rumination, recrimination and a need for retribution—which keep one mired in the past—interfere with future possibilities.
