Description

Hi, I am Eleanor. Not a psychologist, just an everyday person. I do consider myself different, however, in the sense that I am constantly thinking about how to use my mind to feel the best I possibly can. Some of the questions I have asked myself in the past have included:
How can I use my memories to my advantage?
How can I use the power of negative feelings to feel better?
How can I be a person who feels good 99.9% of the time?
How can I tap into the power of expectation and time?
How can I be unaffected by others?
How can I get back to the old me?
How can I get my brain on my side?
After observing the workings of my mind, I did receive my answers to these questions, and many others, and would like to share them with you in this book. Enjoy!
