The Inner Monster: How to be your best self

It’s always there, lurking around just outside of your peripheral vision. Finally, a new, cozy place to live has been found. It just needs a few finishing touches—some mental turmoil, perhaps. All humans go through rough patches during their lives. It’s inevitable, and during these periods is the opportune moment for a monster to strike. It’ll inhabit your brain, make the situation you’re in even worse, and then some. It’ll make you doubt yourself, despise yourself, and make it seem like there is no hope—unless you stop it, and you absolutely can. The inner monster has several weaknesses: recognizing triggers, mindfulness, self-awareness, coping strategies, embracing strengths and values, emotional and physical well-being, a positive mindset, and setting and achieving goals. These weaknesses must be utilized to make our minds less inviting for the inner monster or to build defenses so it can’t get in, no matter how homey it may appear. It’s also crucial to be able to remove it once it’s made your mind its home and when it might sneak in again. Though this may all seem incredibly daunting, once you know what to identify and how to proceed, dealing with your inner monster will become second nature. This book will help you get there by breaking each of these weaknesses down and equipping you with the tools to prevent or deal with your inner monster. This book will also feature examples of how the inner monster manifests in different people, so you know what to look for or how to deal with your problem. Additionally, it will feature the opinions and peer-reviewed studies of renowned psychologists. Though this book is not the answer to conquering all monsters, never to return—it will at least prepare you for identifying and dealing with them. Each chapter will tackle a specific weakness of the inner monster and provide tips on utilizing them to the best of your abilities, giving you the best possible chance of having a monster-free mind. Confronting your inner monster is no easy feat, but it certainly is not some tedious journey you have the misfortune of going on. On the contrary, it is a learning experience. . Your monster may think it has the upper hand, but it doesn’t know that you’re using its attempts to push you into the dirt for personal growth. You are going to accomplish things that people whom a monster has never inhabited can only dream of doing. Despite its best efforts, its attack will catalyze positive change. You are going to learn to accept and love yourself so much that your life will not be able to be anything but meaningful and fulfilling. The monster’s got nothing on you. You will emerge victorious.
