Wage War on Your Mind & Fight for Your Life‪!‬

After years of struggling with depression, feeling unsatisfied, and battling negative thoughts, I reached a breaking point. I knew there had to be a better way to live but I wasn't sure what it was. After getting over the initial shock of my breakdown, I desperately set out on a journey to discover how to live a fulfilling life. I realized that my biggest hurdle was my negative thoughts. So I decided to wage war on my mind and find a way to overcome them.
In this book, I detail the 10 practices I incorporated into my life as a result of waging war on my mind. These practices were implemented out of the sheer desperation to live and not just survive my life. I discovered them by evaluating my thought patterns, habits, and perspective and doing the opposite of everything I'd been doing up until that point. This book details a 2-year process broken down into 10 key strategies I implemented to reroute my default negative train of thought. I teach you how I went from constantly complaining, focusing on the problems, and not believing in myself to being thankful to be alive, focusing on solutions, and not just believing in myself but daring to dream again (and chase those dreams)!

My story is shared in a way that those who struggle with depression, anxiety, negative thoughts, self-doubt, or comparison, can see their own experience reflected. You won't get caught up in the details of my life but you'll feel the connection if you have that struggle in common. I challenge readers who are desperate for a change to do the inner work to create it. This isn't for the faint of heart. While it's written in a loving and encouraging way, it's written specifically for those who know they have to make the change because people can't want it for you or love it out of you.

This isn't for everyone. In fact, it took me having a breakdown to get to the place I could discover and accept this for myself. You have to be at a point in your life where you not only want the change but are willing to put the effort and energy into creating it. I will challenge you to take responsibility and accountability. I'm not going to lie, it doesn't always feel good. There will be times that I probably make you feel uncomfortable. I know because I felt that same discomfort. The thing is, it's by facing those uncomfortable truths that I was able to start winning battles.

If you want to learn how to stop thinking so negatively, stop constantly comparing yourself, or just cultivate a more positive mindset, I lay out my blueprint in this book. The methods are as powerful as they are simple in principle yet they take consistent practice to yield results. After reflecting on the journey years later, I was able to identify the key strategies I incorporated as practices in my life. This is my life experience combined with my training as a life coach to help you in reroute your default train of thought. By learning how to incorporate these practices into your life you can discover the ones you need to implement to start winning the battles you fight.

Either way, I'm sending you lots of love and wishing you all that you need to support you to wage war on your mind and fight for your life!
