Practices like meditation & yoga help us to become aware of our thoughts, which is great! With that awareness, it’s beneficial for one to then understand what to do with those thought patterns and beliefs that don’t serve them.
There are examples of affirmations included and space to create your own. This is a guide full of practical tools – it’s not an up-in-the-clouds delusional approach on how you can think magical thoughts that will create your dream life while sitting on the couch. No! It’s about WHY and HOW your brain is powerful so you can understand how to strengthen, sharpen & use it efficiently (versus your mind working against you). Your mind will do one or the other – if you can choose, you may as well learn how to harness the power of your brain to benefit your highest well-being.
Talking with a psychotherapist is a great way to increase self-awareness and really accelerate this process. I recommend doing so, at least periodically in your life as you would with any other type of health professional, to create some time and space in your life for you, to build awareness of what serves you and what doesn’t, and to be supported in the process of making necessary changes.
This guide is a great accompaniment to any self-work practices but it does not serve as psychotherapy in and of itself and is not meant to treat or diagnose any mental illnesses.
Begin incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine.
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (in the state of California), a hypnotherapist, a surfer & a vegan. I love to play guitar & sing!
I’ve always been fascinated by words and language. In my undergraduate education, I went to a research university and got to work in a Psycholinguistics lab for 2 years. Psycholinguistics can be defined as ‘the study of the influence of psychological factors on the development, use, and interpretation of language’.
I ran my own experiment in the lab and I researched interesting topics like the difference in meaning when someone says “um” versus “uh”.
In my own life and in my private practice, I use simple teachings and practices to shape my reality in order to stay healthy & balanced. This guide was created from these teachings, which came naturally through with my work with clients and what we all found to be the most effective approaches and explanations in a practical sense.
As a psychotherapist, I mostly work virtually because I live full-time in the jungle in Costa Rica. I help people unlock their personal power and freedom so they can live full, inspired lives. I dedicate my life to my true passions, living my dreams & serving God, fellows humans and animals.
