Retraining your brain from a lifetime of wrong perceptions not only requires a success routine but “tools” to empower you daily and aid you in keeping your focus. There are many useful tools to help you move from level to level while staying the course.

The practice of cognitive restructuring can accelerate the process as you learn how to alter your perceptions. It is also a powerful foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practice often used by counselors to reverse negative tendencies in their patients. Below is a helpful four-step guide to cognitive restructuring.
