Download or read book Stop Saying You re Fine written by Mel Robbins and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hands-on guide from Mel Robbins, one of America’s top relationship experts and radio/tv personalities, addresses why over 100 million Americans secretly feel frustrated and bored with their lives and reveals what you can do about it. Mel Robbins has spent her career teaching people how to push past their self-imposed limits to get what they truly desire. She has an in-depth understanding of the psychological and social factors that repeatedly hold you back, and more important, a unique set of tools for getting you where you want to be. In Stop Saying You’re Fine, she draws on neuroscientific research, interviews with countless everyday people, and ideas she’s tested in her own life to show what works and what doesn’t. The key, she explains, is understanding how your own brain works against you. Because evolution has biased your mental gears against taking action, what you need are techniques to outsmart yourself. That may sound impossible, but Mel has created a remarkably effective method to help you do just that--and some of her discoveries will astonish you. By ignoring how you feel and seizing small moments of rich possibility--a process she calls “leaning in”--you can make tiny course directions add up to huge change. Among this book’s other topics: how everything can depend on not hitting the “snooze” button; the science of connecting with other people, what children can teach us about getting things done; and why five seconds is the maximum time you should wait before acting on a great idea. Blending warmth, humor and unflinching honesty with up-to-the-minute science and hard-earned wisdom, Stop Saying You’re Fine moves beyond the platitudes and easy fixes offered in many self-help books. Mel’s insights will actually help vault you to a better life, ensuring that the next time someone asks how you’re doing, you can truthfully answer, “Absolutely great.”

Book excerpt: Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices, this guide offers breakthrough insights and simple techniques for developing deep-seated, long-lasting confidence Too many of us miss out on opportunities in life because we lack self-confidence. Whether it’s public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don't feel equipped to handle the challenges we face. Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to “get over” our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them.

Do you find it hard to fall asleep because your brain won't stop worrying? Do you feel stuck in an endless loop of uncontrollable negative thoughts? Do you struggle with problem-solving because you can't stop overthinking? You're not alone. Around 18% of the population suffer from anxiety, and up to 73% of adults admit that they overthink. In fact, our brains are wired to look out for potential dangers. We remember negative events more vividly than positive ones. We instinctively look for negative things and imagine worst-case scenarios. This instinct is helpful when you're lost in a jungle full of hungry predators. But in our safe and comfortable lives, our negativity bias can get out of control. When you don't have to worry about being eaten by a tiger, your brain might start worrying about your future grandkids' careers or that awkward conversation that happened five years ago. If you don't make a conscious effort to manage your negative thoughts, you'll get lost in an endless loop of negativity - or, even worse, a downward spiral. When your mind is engrossed in negative thoughts, it becomes blind to amazing opportunities that life throws at you. It becomes blind to possible ways of solving the very problem you're worrying about. It becomes blind to the simple joys of life and ends up depressed. But what if you could eliminate negative thinking? What if you could stop thinking about problems and start solving them? What if you could love and appreciate yourself instead of beating yourself up? Derick Howell, an anxiety coach with decades of experience, is here to help you. His insightful book will help you banish negativity from your life and learn to love yourself.
