This empowering guide shows people who are experiencing emotional turmoil how to reconnect with their innate capacity for genuine happiness before more serious emotional problems develop. The Power of Self-Coaching offers five simple steps toward reclaiming one's natural and spontaneous potential, the inner power that can transform one's life. Using the author's proven technique of self-talk, listeners can liberate themselves from reflexive, destructive thinking and begin to create a life of happiness and empowerment. The first part of the program discusses why people develop patterns of insecurity, become controlling, and suffer habitual thoughts that undermine personal power. Part two presents the five steps: Chart Your Weakness (control negative "reflexive thinking"); Separate Fact from Fiction (understand nonfactual negative assumptions); Stop Listening (cut off negative thinking patterns); Let Go (stop over thinking); and Motivate Yourself (encourage new, nurturing thought patterns).
