7 Master Your Mind by Mastering the Voices in Your Head

Acknowledgment:

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to three individuals for teaching us about influencing the voices in our own heads. First is Dr. Shad Helmstetter, specifically his groundbreaking book What to Say When You Talk to Yourself. It made us actually understand that “positive affirmations” are not simply material for a Saturday Night Live sketch – it’s the most direct path to rewiring your brain and unlocking almost anything you want from life.
