It is the ultimate contradiction: you are a capable, successful adult, yet you are still losing the daily battle with your own mind.
You have read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, and tried the positive affirmations. On paper, you have it together. But inside, the noise is relentless. You are exhausted from being the "strong one" while secretly wondering why you still don't feel like you are enough.
The truth is, your conscious mind knows what you should do, but your subconscious is still running on old, protective patterns. You aren't failing; you are simply operating on a system that was designed to protect a version of you that no longer exists. When you feel stuck, it’s not a lack of discipline—it’s a conflict between your goals and your faulty subconscious beliefs.
I would, but MY DAMN MIND won't let me! is the manual for your internal world. Written from over 20 years of clinical and holistic experience, this book skips the fluff and difficult jargon. Instead, it provides a relatable, practical guide to help you understand how your mind actually works and how you can finally change the patterns that keep you small.
This manual is for you if:
- You are tired of the "Performance": You’ve become an expert at hiding behind the mask of "I’m fine," while your internal world feels like chaos.
- You are stuck in the "Not Enough" cycle: No matter what you achieve, the goalposts for happiness keep moving.
- You are a high-functioning overthinker: You spend your nights replaying past failures and your days worrying about future ones.
- You need a roadmap, not a pep talk: You don’t want forced positivity. You want a clear, direct path to relief and focus.
Imagine a shift in your life where:
- ✅ The "Mental Weight" Lifts: You stop spending half your energy fighting your own thoughts and start using it to build the life you want.
- ✅ You Own Your Worth: That persistent "not enough" feeling is replaced by a grounded, unshakeable sense of self.
- ✅ You Live with Confidence: You stop living with fear of being "found out" and live life with confidence.
- ✅ You Reclaim Your Peace: You move from a state of survival and high-alert to a state of internal peace and focus.
"I didn’t write this from a textbook. I wrote it from thousands of hours spent helping people untangle the beliefs that keep them stuck. You aren't broken, and you don't need to be 'fixed.' You just need to understand the mechanics of your own mind so you can finally lead your own life." — Jacqui Letran
No Fluff. No Pressure. Just Relief.
Readers love this book because it is direct, fast-paced, and speaks to the reality of the human experience. It builds resilience through practical emotional tools and clear thinking, helping you bridge the gap between who you are and who you know you can be.
Stop the battle. Give yourself the roadmap to navigate your own mind and finally feel at peace.
Have you ever been told to simply stop worrying and focus on the positives in your life? While well-intentioned, this advice can leave you feeling frustrated and invalidated. Perhaps you’ve tried several methods to help yourself get a handle on your mind, but the techniques you’ve tried so far don’t seem to help, at least not long term.
You’ve done what you can, and you’re still stuck in the endless loop of negativity, fear, and self-doubt. With every new self-improvement technique you try, you feel a little more defeated.
You may feel like your circumstances are beyond your control and that changing your life for the better is impossible. You may even convince yourself that you were born with these limitations, and there is no hope of overcoming them. Life as you know it, is difficult and so unfair!
But what if that’s not the truth? What if I could show you how to gain control of your thoughts and feelings so you can create the changes you desperately desire? Would you be willing to leave a space for possibilities?
The human mind is incredibly powerful. It can create dreadful life experiences, and it can create our most joyous moments, too. It might not feel like it right now, but you have the power to direct your mind in creating the life experiences you want.
Once you learn easy, yet highly effective ways to understand your thoughts and feelings, you’ll find that you have the power to create the life you want and deserve. The power to create permanent, positive change is available to you no matter how hopeless your situation may feel to you currently.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck and unhappy, now is the perfect time to stop wasting your energy and time on those old, useless emotions and thoughts. Today is the day to take charge of yourself and create the changes you once thought impossible.
This book will show you how to:
- Understand how your mind works.
- Identify and challenge outdated beliefs.
- Eliminate unhealthy thoughts and emotions.
- Maintain a calm and relaxed state of mind, even in difficult situations.
- Unlock the full potential of your mind to create the authentic, fulfilling life you have always wanted.
Your journey to happiness begins with the belief that happiness is possible for you. Even if your personal experiences have led you to believe that you’re destined for a stress-filled and unhappy life, I will show you that you do have other options. Not only can you learn to believe that happiness is possible for you, but you can also learn how to lay a solid foundation of self-belief that will lead you to success and happiness.
The next time somebody tells you to, “stop worrying and focus on the positives in life,” you can smile and thank them for the gentle reminder and instantly take control of your thoughts and feelings again.
The power to create the life you want is in your hands.
SELF-REFLECTION:
Exercise 1: The Power of Your Breath
Let’s spend the next few minutes preparing yourself and your mind for possibilities.
Start by taking in a slow, deep, and deliberate breath for a count of five. Hold your breath for a count of five. Slowly release your breath for a count of five. (Note: If holding your breath for five seconds is uncomfortable, feel free to adjust the length of time to a level that feels just slightly challenging to you.)
Take in another slow, deep breath for a count of four and hold it for a count of four. This time, notice that you have the power to create your discomfort by holding your breath. Slowly release your breath, and notice that you also have the power to release your discomfort. Repeat the breathing exercise two more times, noticing just how much power you have over your comfort and discomfort with this simple exercise. Continue with two more slow breaths. With each breath out, give yourself permission to let go of the stress and worries and just enjoy this moment.
Now, take a moment to reflect on your experience. What did you notice? What surprised you? How can you use your breath to help you in the future?
Exercise 2: The Power of Your Thoughts
Take five minutes to think about how your life will be once you can stop those negative thoughts from occurring and instead focus on the positives of your situation. Imagine feeling happy and content with your life and being able to create joy from the simplest of experiences. What would you finally be able to do when you wake up feeling refreshed and excited for the day? How will you feel when your self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love give you the strength to pursue your dream life? What would that look like? How would your life be different?
Give yourself five minutes to envision all the possibilities. If negative thoughts try to creep in, take a few deep breaths, and choose to release those negativities on your exhales. Remind yourself you are willing and open to having a new experience.
Use your imagination and have fun with this self-reflection. Write down all the wonderful things you’ll finally be able to do. Remember to dream big. The possibilities are endless!
Example: I am happy and content with my life. I wake up every day feeling excited and motivated, ready to take on the world. I have the strength and courage to pursue my dreams and live my life on my terms. I am filled with happiness and contentment. I am grateful for all that I have. I am more productive than ever. I go after what I want with enthusiasm and achieve my goals with ease. I am relaxed and open. I focus on being present and enjoy each moment to the fullest. I am happy and content with my life. I am happy and content with myself.
Hi, I'm Jacqui Letran. I am an Award-Winning Author and Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of medical experience.
A decade ago, I made the controversial decision to close my successful medical clinics.
Why? Because I noticed a broken pattern. Patients would come to me for anxiety and depression, get a prescription, and return year after year for refills—but they weren't actually getting better. Their emotional well-being remained stagnant because we were treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
I realized that true healing doesn't come from a pill bottle; it comes from understanding the biology of your own brain.
So, I changed everything. I dedicated my career to bridging the gap between traditional medicine and holistic healing. I developed the Stop the Spiral system (and my proprietary ReStory EFT method) to give families the tools to master their minds, not just medicate them.
This book isn't just "reading material." It is the culmination of 25 years of clinical experience, distilled into a toolkit you can use at your kitchen table.
