About this listen
All our lives, we were brought up to believe that other people and situations were what caused our anxiety. As it turns out, we were sold a pack of lies! What if the only thing causing your anxiety is your own thoughts? And what if underneath your anxious thinking was your true, perfect self - whole and healthy and untouched by all your fears? How would this change your life? For Jill Whalen, understanding this information switched off a lifetime of anxiety and addictive behaviors.
In Victim of Thought: Seeing Through the Illusion of Anxiety, Jill describes how she spent over 50 years in a constant state of anxiousness. While she could feel fine one minute, she never knew what might be lurking around the corner that could seemingly disturb her peace. It was only when she learned the simple truth of where her anxiety was really coming from - and that underneath it was her innate well-being - that she no longer was a victim to it.
In this easy to listen to and understand audiobook, Jill logically explains how having one or more insightful "aha moments" can wipe away a lifetime of anxious thinking. She shares numerous, relatable stories and examples from her own life to help you see the truth in her words. Jill also provides you with step-by-step instructions to become more aware of your own thoughts, which in turn puts you back in the driver's seat of your life. But the proof is really in the pudding, and Jill encourages you at every turn, seek your own examples and evidence of how you've let yourself become a victim of your own thoughts. Once you see this for yourself, your life and your anxiety will magically transform before your eyes! If you're tired of believing that you're a victim to your anxiety, and are looking for a more peaceful life, then this book is for you.

Story
"Be yourself" they said. "I want to be" I said. "But who am I?" Have you ever noticed that what you think about who you are, how you should be, how well you are doing changes? This is because our idea of who we are is created in thought and it is the nature of thought to change. Looking at this more clearly takes us on a breath-taking exploration into what is real about us...The first part of Real looks at everything that cannot be true about who we are. The second part explores what remains when our thought-created idea of self dissolves.

We don’t have to work hard for happiness. We are made of it. The reason this spiritual truth is elusive is because of one very important gift that we possess: the gift of thought. It turns out that instead of feeling the beauty of our true nature, most of the time we are feeling our thinking about our personal lives.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

Story
Everything you “know” about yourself today is based on who you decided you were when you were just four or five years old. In your childhood you formed decisions about yourself before you were even capable of thinking logically. Those decisions were based on a child’s emotional survival brain, and they are the foundation of the neural pathways of thought and feelings that are instrumental in forming your identity, both positive AND negative. This is why so many people have challenges in their adult lives, especially when it comes to their personal and professional relationships.

It’s exhausting to live with your mind racing around from one dreadful possibility to the next, even when you know logically that a lot of these thoughts are unrealistic or at least unlikely. Logic quite often has nothing to do with it. It’s thinking that has got you into this mess, and more unhelpful thinking is simply not the answer. Unfortunately, it can be hard to stop once you get yourself into the spiral of overthinking. Your thoughts can get ahead of you, blocking you from your own mind and distracting you from what really matters.

Well I loved this book!
This was such a down to earth, clear and wonderful listening experience. I felt I was sitting across from the author while she, in a matter of fact way gave me the key to dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions. I highly recommend listening and absorbing the author’s wisdom.

Wonderful Simple Solution for Anxiety
Like the author I too was a life time victim of thought. Jill Whalen’s audio book taught me that me that a new experience of what my life could be was just a thought away. Who knew it could be that easy! All of the helpful resources she provides at the end of the audio book kept me going forward with my new life experience with the three principles. It has been a great new beginning and life since.
