Echoing its title, it strikes at the heart of the most important issue of all: changing one’s mindset from negative to positive. People who want to improve their life and make progress are the obvious targets of this book, and Onasanya shows you how to get yourself to think positively using simple, straightforward habits.
Onasanya may have started out as a Pharmacologist, but she switched gears when she became the publisher of The Exquisite Magazine and started the Exquisite Ladies of the Year (ELOY)Awards, aimed at celebrating women of excellence in different fields, empowering, motivating and inspiring others. Her book takes the same approach when it comes to diving into the mindsets that get in the way of rethinking how you are thinking and how to turn that around.
Writing in a light manner, Onasanya positions herself as a friend having a real talk with another friend, giving step by step guides on shifting and styling your mind, added with a healthy dose of personal stories and reality.
At over 300 pages, she organizes chapters around how your mind bullies you, shifting your mind consciously and styling your mind. Onasanya begins each chapter with her favorite quotes from various sources that have inspired her, as well as “affirmations” for readers to repeat until they believe – for example, “I am available only for the best.” which the reader could use as a guide for self-talk. This gives each chapter more context, making Rule Your Mind more meaningful for the reader. She goes further by inserting a contract for readers to sign, making a pledge to yourself to commit to living intentionally.
Fear, worry, stress— these are all the emotions she experienced in listening to the discouraging voice of her subconscious. Onasanya encouraged readers to keep practicing and to master the skill of mind styling.
She tells her readers to read the book with a spouse or partner helping them measure each other’s successes and encourage each other to become the best version of themselves.
The 40+ page workbook at the end of the book is a great place to start learning how to empower yourself, and ultimately live your most gorgeous life.
The main takeaway? You can achieve anything if you put your mind to it; it takes action.
So, what happens when you learn to shift and style your mind into thinking you can achieve anything you set your mind to intentionally? Your entire life changes, you will have a renewed appreciation for yourself.
If this hits home, give Rule Your Mind a try.
