Go Beyond Positive Thinking: Reprogram Your Mind With These 7 Books

Positive thinking is a powerful tool for a positive mindset, and curling up with a good book is one of life’s simple, comforting pleasures. If said book helps you reprogram your mind and free your limiting thoughts – big bonus points!

All of us go through our days allowing certain thoughts to swirl around our brains – and many times, they’re negatives ones. Rarely if ever do we give much thought to this mental record we keep playing on repeat.
 

While positive thinking can certainly help begin the shift away from negative to more empowering thoughts, reprogramming your mind is the way to stay empowered.

 
And before we realize it, these negative recurring thoughts can become the status quo, doing serious damage to our happiness, stress levels, and productivity.

While positive thinking can certainly help begin the shift away from negative to more empowering thoughts, reprogramming your mind is the way to stay empowered.

You can’t reprogram your mind without addressing your inner mean girl – it’s all one in the same, actually. This book unpacks the ways we keep ourselves stuck and fearful and breaks down how to remember what you’re capable of, so you can tell your mean girl byyyyye and get unstuck.
