Why Jon Acuff Is Mentally Strong
Jons new book, Soundtracks, is aboutoverthinking.
He acknowledges that hes a work in progress and he offers actionable advice for his readers and listeners.
Hes also open about the fact that he has seen a therapist to help him change histhought patterns.
Hes not afraid to talk about the need for professional help sometimes.
And overthinking can be a huge roadblock to thinking and feeling your best.
Some people rehash things that already happened and it prevents them from enjoying life now.
Others second-guess what they should do next to the point that they cant take any action.
And sometimes, we just keep replaying the same unhelpful messages in our heads over and over.
Fortunately, you might learn to respond to negative thoughts in a more productive way.
And it’s possible for you to choose not to believe everything you think.
Jons suggestions about soundtracks are helpful strategies for dealing with thoughts that can hold you back in life.
Its similar to creating mantras or catchphrases that can help you think differently.
Quotes From Jon
Approach change as a tourist, because we’re all tourists to 2021.
Nobody right now would go, This is like my 50th global pandemic.
I’ve actually been through so many of these.
