What sparked the change in me? Debra Thomas, through her traumatic and adverse life experiences, has been blessed with resilience, empowerment, and determination. Her book encourages those who have relinquished their sense of balance to embrace a growth mindset by offering refreshing experiences of rediscovery and life-changing pointers to unbury forgotten personal life goals. She shares her transition from a career-focused life to the role of a life coach, empowering clients to rediscover their deepest life motivations and most meaningful mindsets. She states, "Find balance in your life by embracing those things that help you thrive, feel alive, and feel joy in the everyday moments of your lives."
How To Change Your Mind teaches readers about five powerful mind shifts, thus offering the potential transformational journey towards greater resilience, empowerment, and determination. The five powerful mind shifts include learning to take a personal inventory, hearing and acting upon inspiration, embracing others' ideas, self-discipline to do difficult things, and honoring individuality. Her mind shifts apply to struggles with life-threatening health, financial train wrecks, lack of motivation, an absence of self-discipline, and, yes, even works with weight loss and potential addictions.
Debra reveals the helpful tools she has discovered in her transition from a negative mindset to connecting to her inner voice, including Google Drive" Prayer Notes," "Answering The Call," anchoring, mental rehearsal, the magic wand, and the frog and stick analogies. She invariably shares one clear message to her readers throughout each chapter; if you are "feeling stuck" in overwhelming adversity, you can learn to convert your weaknesses into strengths and pull yourself out of despair. She states, "If we comprehend our weaknesses, we can begin to modify them until they become our greatest strengths."
Debra asks a final poignant question in the last chapters of her book, "who would you say your life Coach is?"
