Books 101 Ways to Be Less Stressed – Simple Self–Care Strategies to Boost Your Mind, Mood, and Mental Health English edition  by Dr. Caroline Leaf

The book "101 Ways to Be Less Stressed – Simple Self–Care Strategies to Boost Your Mind, Mood, and Mental Health" by Dr. Caroline Leaf offers practical strategies for managing stress and improving mental health through self-care.

Dr. Leaf emphasizes the importance of mind management, teaching that thoughts control the brain and body. Her Neurocycle® process is a five-step mind-management technique designed to rewire toxic thought patterns and reduce stress if practiced consistently over 63 days. The steps are:

Gather awareness – becoming consciously aware of emotional, physical, behavioral, and perspective-related warning signals of stress.

Reflect – asking why one feels a certain way and what triggered the emotion to gain deeper insight.

Write down the Metacog® – a structured way of recording anxious thoughts and their interconnected emotions or behaviors.

Recheck – reviewing and adding to the recorded thoughts to gain new understanding and activate theta brain waves for healing.

Active reach – reinforcing new positive neural networks with constructive statements or affirmations.
