Brief Summary

In order to get out of your head and into your life, you must set realistic goals for yourself. Thinking positive thoughts is also important to moving forward in life.

Taking action is the best way to actually make a change in the way you think, while also helping to push you towards any of the goals you have set for yourself.

Remember that even when you have goals and a plan, it is important to be willing to let go of those plans when they no longer help you move forward in life.

Unfuck Yourself Book Summary Preview

We all have destructive thoughts that can block us from succeeding and achieving our full potential. When we find ourselves dealing with failure and an inability to move forward, it can be difficult to move forward and remove ourselves from these situations.

It is important to understand that these situations are typically the result of negative thoughts. And you may not even notice these thoughts that are self-destructive, as they are usually happening in your subconscious.

However, it’s not as easy as thinking happy thoughts to change this pattern. In order to build a positive foundation needed for less destructive thoughts, one must choose actions that are decisive and in direct conflict with the negative thoughts.

In Unf*ck Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life, Gary John Bishop looks at how negative thinking impacts your daily life and what needs to be done to change these self-destructive thoughts. And in the process of changing these thoughts, one will find that the actions they take can lead to more confidence and motivation.

How to get out of your head and into your life

Even when you set new goals for yourself, it is important to remember that you need to be realistic. It is as much about what you are willing to do, as it is what you can do to make a change in your life.

And even knowing what you are willing to do, you must be able to handle possibly being uncomfortable and uncertain. In order to make progress in life, it is important to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

It is also important to remember that if you want to make a positive change in your life, you can’t lose sight of your goals. Once you have a goal, do not give up. Keep pushing forward.

The key to success and happiness is positive thoughts and self-talk, whereas negativity in our thoughts can lead the opposite way

All-day long, our brain is overrun with thoughts. Whether negative or positive, these thoughts will be a determining factor in what happens in our life.

When negative thoughts are allowed to take over and become the default setting of your mind, it will limit your potential in all areas of your life, whether we are talking about personal or professional. If you do not believe you can do something, then it is unlikely you will even try to do it.

Instead of allowing the negative to reign supreme, it is important to engage in positive thinking and self-talk. Not only will this spur you into action now, but it will change the way you respond to things in the future by changing the way your brain works overtime.

The best way to engage in positive self-talk is to use assertions in the present tense. This means saying that you can do something and embracing whatever it is that you are hoping to change about your life.

It’s not just engaging in positive self-talk, it is also about making an effort to internalize that change to produce actual results.
