Your mind. You believe that every thought deserves power ; You pit your body against your mind ; You hold on when you need to let go -- Your moment. You're blind to your blind spots ; You run from discomfort -- Your heart. You chase pleasure and miss out on meaning ; You seek approval over connection ; You've absorbed false meanings for gratitude and forgiveness -- Your future. You give too much power to "willpower" and "goals" ; You buy into the myth of arrival -- Putting it all together.
Summary:
"In Detox Your Thoughts, popular psychologist Andrea Bonior, PhD, identifies the 12 most prevalent thought patterns that make people feel anxious, insecure, and generally just bad."-- Provided by publisher.
To challenge negative self-talk, you must change the way you relate to your thoughts altogether. Bonior uses the latest research into mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach you to understand your thoughts-- and your body-- in a completely different way. By disempowering self-sabotaging thoughts with specific and actionable steps, you don't erase negative thoughts, but grow bigger than they are-- and improve your mental and emotional life along the way. -- adapted from jacket
