Publisher's Synopsis
Are you tired of being told to think positive?
In Mental Wellness Made Easy, you will learn how to know if your thoughts are healthy or unhealthy but more importantly, you will learn strategies that give you the power to change your habits of thought.
While honoring the value of all emotions, you will learn how to know whether your thoughts are increasing or decreasing stress in your mind and body.
Healthy habits of thought lead to the outcomes you want including great relationships, good health, and academic, career, and sporting success. You can know, in each moment, if the thoughts you are thinking are healthy. When you know you are thinking an unhealthy thought, you can use the empowering strategies to change your thoughts to healthier ones.
When it comes to coping skills, only Advanced and Transformational Stress Management Skills permanently reduce stress, making every day of your life better.
Almost all mental and physical illnesses can be traced back to chronic stress. Dr. Joy's groundbreaking work takes stress management to a new level. Moving away from defining emotions as positive and negative, Dr. Joy takes the conversation to the thoughts that cause the emotional response. Dr. Joy's work puts Advanced Stress Management Strategies in everyone's toolkit. Advanced Stress Management Strategies are quick, pro-active, healthy ways to reduce stress as it occurs.
Transformational Stress Management Strategies change the way you perceive life so that your initial thoughts are less stressful.
Before this breakthrough, the most common stress management strategies didn't do anything more than give your mind a break. They didn't change the stress the situation created.
Stress Management skills are critical because life is stressful. People who do not have good stress coping skills will use what is available, which often includes Dysfunctional strategies that quickly make things worse or Maladaptive strategies that slowly make things worse.
Think of your thoughts as seeds. When you want to grow corn, you don't want to plant Brussel sprouts. Everything you care about, including relationships, health, wealth, fun, and success turns out the way it does because of the thoughts you think.
Good mental health does not have to be random.
Replace habits of thought that make your life more difficult than it has to be with habits of thought that make your life more fun.
Dr. Joy has helped thousands of people reduce stress and improve their mental health using these strategies. Her evidence-based, experience-informed methods integrate diverse scientific disciplines including emotion regulation, motivation, organizational behavior, positive psychology, organizational behavior, teams, resilience, self-determination, and self-control.
This book will make your life better every day. Why wait another day? Start enjoying life more now.
