Exorcising Your Excuses is a holistically based step-by-step approach in eradicating self-limiting excuses and unhealthy thinking patterns that so pervade our stressed out modern society. Learn WHY excuse making comes from an imbalanced body, mind, and soul, and WHAT to do about it! Learn the answers to the following questions: What is the true definition of excuses and how do they limit my limitless potential? Are my excuses subconsciously defining who I believe myself to be? Am I being limited through cultural, familial, educational, and other forms of mental conditioning? Why do I persist in behaviors that are self-defeating even when I am aware of them? How does nutrition, sleep, exercise and other lifestyle factors affect my mindset? Is excuse making a spiritual disorder? Why am I so negative in my thoughts? Can I harness the power of my Higher Self or God to eliminate my excuses and empower my thoughts? (non-religious) Can I reprogram my brain and permanently rid myself of excuse-making?
