Overcome Learned Helplessness: Self-Empowerment Affirmations for Improved Self-Esteem, Confidence, Self-Respect and Self-Image

Learned helplessness occurs when a person feels there is no exit out of an undesirable situation. When this happens, there is a sense of disempowerment, leading to lowered self-esteem. People under mountains of debt, stress, or poverty often experience the sensation of having their situation beyond their control – opening the door for learned helplessness – in which they stop trying to improve their circumstances.

Fortunately, you are able to consciously change your thinking patterns to assist yourself out of such downward spiral thinking. Numerous studies have shown that the brain forms neural pathways based on your thoughts – which means you are more in control of your automatic thinking than you might initially conclude. You can “think” your way to being a more optimistic person who is willing and able to change any circumstance you desire.

This audiobook will help you: Overcome learned helplessness Rewire your mind to be more positive Gain more confidence Improve your self image Increase your self respect Take back your inner power to change your own destiny This audiobook includes: Inspiring affirmations Upbeat and motivational music

You can repeat each affirmation after you hear it, or just listen and allow the affirmations to penetrate into your subconscious. The tempo of the music is upbeat and uplifting, which means you can listen to this audiobook during any part of the day. Many people prefer to listen to these affirmations during their commute to work, or as they are getting ready to start a brand new day. The process of rewiring your mind to think more positive is gradual – but worth the effort, as your life will dramatically improve along with your thoughts.

Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s ‘Learned’

For readers or listeners of Nora Ephron, Tina Fey, and David Sedaris, this hilarious, poignant, and extremely frank collection of personal essays confirms Lena Dunham – the acclaimed creator, producer, and star of HBO’s Girls – as one of the brightest and most original writers working today.

“If I can take what I’ve learned in this life and make one treacherous relationship or degrading job easier for you, perhaps even prevent you from becoming temporarily vegan, then every misstep of mine will have been worthwhile. This book contains stories about wonderful nights with terrible boys and terrible days with wonderful friends, about ambition and the two existential crises I had before the age of twenty. About fashion and its many discontents. About publicly sharing your body, having to prove yourself in a meeting full of fifty-year-old men, and the health fears (tinnitus, lamp dust, infertility) that keep me up at night. I’m already predicting my future shame at thinking I had anything to offer you with this book, but also my future glory in having stopped you from trying an expensive juice cleanse or having the kind of sexual encounter where you keep your sneakers on. No, I am not a sexpert, a psychologist, or a registered dietician. I am not a married mother of three or the owner of a successful hosiery franchise. But I am a girl with a keen interest in self-actualization, sending hopeful dispatches from the front lines of that struggle.”
