Are you prepared to take your life to new heights?
What Is A Mental Script?
Not many people realize this, but your thoughts literally shape who you are as a person. There is a bible verse found in Proverbs 23:7 “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he….” What you think you become. This couldn’t be any truer. After all, your thoughts influence your attitude, your attitude influences your actions, and your actions ultimately shape your life and personality.
The thing is, every person’s mind is embedded with a pattern of thoughts or, more accurately, a mental script that they may not even be aware of. This mental script is much like a computer’s operating system that functions invisibly in the background but dictates everything that happens in the foreground. You could also say that it is a blueprint for your thoughts, and your mind keeps playing it over and over again.
Your mental script influences your identity, behavior, beliefs, actions, preferences, and other things that help you perceive and deal with the world. In doing so, it molds you and your life. So, it is only clear that you should be aware of the type of script you have and take the steps needed to rewrite it to ensure that you live a happy, successful, and fulfilling life.

Qn 1: Can you tell us more about your book What is it about?
Adams assures readers that changing is worth the effort. She discusses using failure as a learning tool by throwing away assumptions that have held her readers back. Though daunting, learning from failure, or in milder terms, not succeeding, is the way to move forward with a plan to reach tangible goals. Another helpful tip is that being surrounded by positive people who encourage constructive change enhances self-esteem and injects energy into the process. The author clearly explains and motivates with her clear message that people living unproductive lives need to instead craft goals with a well thought out plan. Then the reader can take action and continue to follow through.
“Your thoughts literally shape who you are as a person,” said Ms. Adams. “Your thoughts influence your attitude and your attitude influences actions. Your actions ultimately shape your life and personality. Changing your mindset is the most powerful and effective way to change your situation. It’s incredibly powerful to be able to alter your perception about a topic and implement personal change. Looking at things from a different angle can inspire you by finding new ways to pursue goals instead of constantly listening to non-productive voices in your head that have been holding you back without your knowing it. Forming better habits will remove your focus on your old script making room for new energy for what will truly make you happy and successful.”
The book covers topics such as “Getting Rid of Mental Roadblocks” and “Believe that You Can Change and You Will,” as well as “Make a Decision and Stick to It” and “Your Goals Don’t Care About Excuses. Just Results.” Ultimately, the book reveals that successful people are cognizant of the risks and take them anyway. That’s one of her main takeaways.
