Reconnect to Love
Summary
Do you feel lonely even when you are with people? When we are alone and isolated, many of us think we will feel better once we surround ourselves with friends, family, or a romantic partner. We are constantly looking for someone else to complete us, accompany us, and give us love and attention. But instead of feeling less lonely, we often end up feeling empty and disappointed. Something always seems to be missing from our relationships. We want a deep, meaningful connection with others. However, our relationships usually don’t live up to our expectations. People don’t seem to get us, or we don’t seem to fit in with others. Even those of us who are married or in a love relationship still feel separate and emotionally disconnected from our partners from time to time. Why is this so? The truth is loneliness is not due to a lack of external connection. It’s a result of internal disconnection. When we feel lonely, we have lost our alignment with the love and abundance within. Instead, we are focusing on what’s missing and lacking in our relationships. This book is not about getting rid of loneliness or building better relationships with others. The purpose of this book is about reconnecting to the love that is always available to us from within whenever we feel lonely. By clearing the psychological obstacles that prevent us from feeling connected to others in the first place, we naturally become more spiritually connected with the world and others.

The Disbelief Habit: How to Use Doubt to Make Peace with Your Inner Critic
Summary
Can’t stop your critical thoughts? With mindfulness, you have critical thoughts… without the suffering. From an early age, many of us have this critical voice in our head that we call the inner critic. It’s the voice that tells us: You are not good enough. You will never amount to anything. You are a bad person. You don’t deserve love. No one loves you. You can’t do it. We have tried many different exercises and techniques to get rid of it, but nothing works. These intrusive thoughts keep popping up whenever they want. And they make us feel frustrated! Instead of overcoming our self-criticism, we end up making the inner critic our enemy and blame ourselves for having such self-loathing thoughts. Some of us even believe that beating ourselves up is good for us and keeps our behaviors in check. Have you tried to stop your negative thoughts? How is that working for you? Self-criticism isn’t the problem. Our resistance to it is. The truth is we can’t control most of our thoughts. Our unhealthy, habitual ways of thinking are the result of past conditioning, and they have become a part of our protective mechanism. It’s not easy to change this system overnight. Instead of fixing and resisting our thoughts, we can change our unconscious reactions to those judgments. Our inner critic might be unkind to us, but that doesn’t mean we have to believe everything it says. The reason why we continue to feel hurt by our negative self-talk is not that the words are hurtful. It’s because we are quick to believe that these harsh criticisms about us are true! Buy The Disbelief Habit: How to Use Doubt to Make Peace with Your Inner Critic The purpose of this audiobook is to help you be more aware and skeptical of your self-loathing thoughts. In this book, you’ll learn: Why you shouldn’t take your thoughts too seriously Why your mind is so critical and hard on you What are the four common reactions to self-criticism and how to react to your critical thoughts What is and what isn’t disbelieving 5 examples of how to separate the truth from the fiction How to notice your unconscious reaction How to identify the message that your inner critic is conveying How to make doubting your new habit The Disbelief Habit provides you the steps to practice mindfulness and make peace with your mind. Just test it out and experience the change for yourself.
