Don't Feed the Monkey Mind: How to Stop the Cycle of Anxiety, Fear, and Worry

By Jennifer Shannon

Book Overview

Ancient sages compared the anxious mind to a monkey-constantly chattering, leaping from one branch to another, and endlessly searching for safety from threats. If you suffer from worry or anxiety, you're all too familiar with this "monkey mindset." And, just like a monkey, you may try to avoid the things you fear. But avoidance-or what we call feeding the monkey-doesn't work! In fact, it often leads to even more anxiety. That's no way to live!, This unique guide offers a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based approach to help you identify your own monkey mind, stop feeding your anxious thoughts, and find the peace you crave. You'll also uncover the core fears at the root of your anxiety, and discover how seeking out and confronting the things that make you anxious can actually reverse the cycle that keeps your worries alive, Once you stop feeding the monkeys, there are no limits to how expansive your life can feel. Isn't it time you put an end to your anxiety? Book jacket.
