Don't feed the monkey's mind - how to stop the cycle of worry, fear, and awe...! Author: Jennifer Shanon Translated into Arabic: Ibtisam Alkhudrar Edited by: Hiba Allah AlGhalayini Cover: Hardcover Volumes: One Paper: Shamooh Size: 14 × 21 Overview: Don't feed the monkey's mind Like wise people, the anxious mind is like a monkey, always chattering, jumping from branch to branch, and constantly seeking safety from threats. If you suffer from worry or anxiety, you are familiar with (the monkey method). You may try — just like the monkey — to avoid the things you fear, but avoidance — or what we call feeding the monkey — actually doesn't work, and usually leads to more anxiety. And this is not a way to live! This unique guide offers a cognitive-behavioral treatment to help you identify your monkey mind, stop feeding your anxious thoughts, and find the peace you seek. You will also discover the core fears at the roots of your anxiety, and learn how searching for and confronting the things that make you anxious can actually reverse the cycle that keeps your worries alive. When you stop feeding the monkey, there will be no limits to the comfort you will feel in your life. Isn't it time to put an end to your anxiety?
