MindRight Book
MindRight: Navigate the Noise- how to deal with your internal fake news for success, resiliency, mental toughness and peace of mind.
It’s estimated that we have around 50,000 thoughts a day. That’s a lot of noise. Realistically, the noise will never stop. How you navigate your noise is one of the most important factors in your overall experience in life.
Neuroscience proves that our brains have a negativity bias. Much of what we think about is negative, counterproductive, or not based on reality. Internal fake news is the worst kind since it’s mostly personal, negative, and repetitive. Every thought that we entertain with emotion creates a physical reaction, impacts our performance, and snowballs.
The problem isn’t that we have negative thoughts; it’s that we believe and pay attention to them. The prerequisite for successful and peaceful life is getting your mind right. This allows us to think the right way and do the right things to create success. Happiness does not come from success; success comes from happiness. What you expect or envision for yourself is crucial since we only allow ourselves the degree of success that’s consistent with our self-concept and what we believe we deserve. This session is a primer in psychological performance improvement training- how to rewire your brain to get it in tune with what you want, not what you fear.
Learn how to:
• Change your relationship to your thoughts as sometimes we need to ignore the noise.
• Turn up the volume on it to get clear on the outrageous blanket statements and automatic negative thoughts our brains create.
• Challenge our inner critic by doing cognitive restructuring- editing and re-framing what we tell ourselves.
• Counter cognitive distortions, entrenched negativity, and use your mind to train your brain.
• Let the noise be, quiet the noise to still our brain.
• Grasp that just because you think it, does that mean it’s worth analyzing?

A must read book for everybody

Format: Paperback
I had a hard time putting this book down. I loved it. It’s informative and educational but in an easy to read & understand manner. The tips within this book are practical, and can by applied to your daily living to help improve your quality of life by teaching you how to control your thoughts. In a word full of negativity, the tips within this book to refocus on the positive is priceless. While this book is helpful for anybody and everybody to read, it can be of particular interest to professionals in the mental health field, those who struggle with depression or anxiety, or those just generally curious on how the mind works & evolves. The back cover may list the educational qualifications the author has, but within the book the author self-discloses his own troubled family experiences, which point to his emotional qualifications behind this book; which as a reader was a powerful testament to the techniques he teaches. Knowing that the author had to learn to conquer his own thoughts made this book all the more relative and applicable. As a former clinical mental health counselor, and as a current mom to young kids living in crazy mode, I’d highly recommend this book to help put a reset button in your life, and learn to navigate through the constant stream of information, thoughts, feelings, & overwhelming expectations that we are faced with on a daily basis in a healthy, positive way.

I really liked the large variety of approaches one could take to find more serenity in life. All of the ideas were practical and presented in bite-sized chunks. So many of the author’s examples could have come from my own life. It was a real pleasure to read.
