We all experience self doubt from time to time, but for those of us with the tendency to think negatively, this book will teach you how to stop negative stop talk and start feeling amazing.
Written by leading hypnotherapist Ailsa Frank, the book provides helpful tips and positive word association to help break negative thinking patterns. While at first the liberal use of the word AMAZING is a bit off putting, you do feel calmer and more positive after reading the each entry, so it must work on some level, even if it isn't very subtle. My favourite tip in the book was the mantra, 'I can do it, I am doing it, it is done, it is amazing.' I find these words particularly helpful when faced with a task that at first glance seems overwhelming. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone in need of a pep talk to banish negative thoughts for good. For more information about the author, visit www.ailsafrank.com.
