Mind Hacking

Mind Hacking is a hands-on guide on how to transform your mind in just 21 days, which is the time required for your brain to form new habits and adapt to changes, and teaches you how to reprogram your brain to follow healthier, better habits, and ditch the self-sabotaging patterns that stand in your way.

You’ve heard that right! Our mind is similar to a computer. And once you understand what that means, hacking it will become easier than ever. This funny association is one of the best examples we can use to describe the process of metathinking. In a nutshell, it means thinking about thinking. But what is that? Well, this concept implies that we, as humans, can log into our minds at any given point, and stay there as super users.

That is because we are separate from our brains, which is why we can notice ourselves thinking. Just try to close your eyes and observe yourself thinking. You’re already doing meta-thinking now! You see, as you learn to log into your mind like a superuser, instead of staying there on user mode, you’ll be able to achieve great things with it. The catch? Something logging in traps you inside, where thoughts run wild and you get into overthinking and mood swings.

Becoming a master at thinking and meta-thinking allows you to access great cognitive superpowers. For example, you could have an important task to do, so you actively try to log into your mind and access your database of information, your focused brain, and all the tools needed to complete it. Then, you log off. Visualizing this process can help you tap into great powers and do things done faster. Train your mind by frequently asking what it’s thinking and observing it. Then, use awareness to distinguish between your brain thinking and yourself, observing and joining when you need to do something.

Picture this scenario: you’re finally working on that task you had to get done. All of a sudden, a phone notification pops up on your phone. Before you know it, your one-minute check-up turns into a one-hour procrastination session on social media, and now you’re too tired to go back to the task. Sound familiar? There are two kinds of attention: Voluntary and reflexive. One is when your brain directs focus to a particular task, like reading, the other is reacting to an outside stimulus. Your aim is to diminish the latter and work on improving voluntary attention. How? By eliminating digital distractions. At least for one hour a day, turn off your phone, radio, or TV, and simply meditate or work on something productive. Why? It all comes to how the brain is wired.…
