No longer enslaved to your old ways, your new constructive mindset will guide your thoughts and drive your actions in times of stress and empower you to stick to your healthy lifestyle modifications.As you gain the ability to maintain your behavioral changes in a more consistent manner, you become empowered to achieve your health goals and experience rewarding outcomes.This is how embarking on the journey of change will help you gain a sense of physical, emotional, and mental well-being (i.e., a state of total wellness).Please note that this edition has replaced the original work that was published in 2018 as "The Inner Control Is the True Control / Book 1 - Building a Strong Sense of self."
