Soundtrack in your head

Are your thoughts playing over and over in your head like a broken record? Is your mind stuck on one endless loop? Have you become so “stuck” that you are unable to pursue your goals? Have you had enough?

Your thoughts are your inner soundtrack. And if you don't control them, they control you. Because the music never stops playing. You will just listen to the tracks that pull you down instead of up. It's time to do something about it. Because when you choose the tracks you listen to, you can do anything you set your mind to.

“The fact that thoughts have a crucial influence on our lives, in both a negative and positive sense, was suspected by the forefathers and foremothers of psychology. It is not for nothing that the first thing we discuss with our clients at the beginning of therapy is the vicious circle. In other words, how our thoughts evoke emotions, then a physical reaction, and finally how we behave.

Jon Acuff's book, with the contribution of neuroscience, shows how we can work with some thoughts and even use them to our advantage. All you have to do is change some of the songs from our cognitive (thought) soundtrack. Go for it!”
