We all want to feel better, perform better, and gain a satisfying sense of control over our lives. We strive to improve themselves mentally and physically so we can optimize our performance, achieve success, and hopefully create life-long rewarding relationships along the way. But, for many, the challenges of life can seem constant. Over time, we may fall into bad habits, find ourselves in toxic relationships or toxic work environments, realize our lives have become unmanageable, unsustainable, or worse — sink into a deep depression.

Many of us get to a point where we ask ourselves, “How did this happen?” Even the hardest working, self-aware, proactive, and productive person can find themselves in a funk and wonder where they took the wrong path in their life. That is life! No matter how hard we try to get it right, life has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. Even so, this can lead to a spiral of self-defeating thoughts and hyper self-criticism, which makes our situation worse.

But, there are ways to manage our inner world and optimize the ability to avoid falling into bad habits (either physical or mental). Many of these techniques focus on the most potent aspect of our psyche- the subconscious mind.
