This post is more about using psychology to improve our mind. So what has this got to do with Finance and gettting wealth? Everything.
A healthy mind is what is required to generate wealth. A mind that is bogged down, like a sinking ship struggles to survive, let alone achieve anything extraordinary. So the post here is a collection of notes that was taken during a course called "Change Your Thinking" which is based on Cognitive Training.
---------------------------
Brain constantly produce thoughts. Can have different interpretation or meanings. Eg what have you been up to? Why do people have different interpretation. Prior events may influence this. Personality, culture context (family values), lessons learnt early in life, our perception of people, how safe our environment felt when young.
Challenge our beliefs, not enough to just understand. Changed the way we think, then that will change the way we feel.
Thoughts - When anxious thoughts are faster.
CBT: counselling, stress management,
Change way we think, Changing the way we feel, change way we behave
