Life is Easy Rules of the Mind

Life is Easy

Rewire Your Thoughts. Rewrite Your Life.

Have you ever wondered why life feels so hard—even when you’re doing “all the right things”? You try to stay positive, read books, and maybe even go to therapy, but somehow, the struggle still feels real.

Here’s the truth: Life isn’t inherently hard.
Our thoughts make it hard.

Your mind is your most powerful tool—more powerful than your circumstances, your past, or the people around you. But if you don’t know how your mind works, it’s easy to feel like you’re fighting yourself.

Life is Easy: Rules of the Mind was inspired by René Descartes’s famous phrase, “I think, therefore I am.” These rules have been reimagined to help you understand how your mind works today, so you can start living with more ease, peace, and power right now.

Let’s dive in.


🌟 Rule #1: I Think, Therefore I Create

Whatever you focus on expands. The stories you tell yourself shape your reality. If you think life is hard, you will find proof. If you think life can be easy, your mind will start looking for ways to make it so.

🧩 Action Step: Write a new mantra. “I am free to create a life I love.”


🌟 Rule #2: The Mind Always Proves Itself Right

Your mind doesn’t question what you feed it—it works to validate it. This means every thought you repeat becomes the foundation of your reality.

🧩 Try This: Notice one limiting belief you keep thinking. Flip it. Start feeding your mind its opposite.


🌟 Rule #3: Clarity Creates Power

A confused mind freezes. But a clear mind moves. When you define your vision and purpose, your brain stops panicking and starts creating.

🧩 Prompt: How do you want to feel this week? What one step supports that?


🌟 Rule #4: Emotions Follow Focus

Your emotions don’t just show up randomly—they follow your thoughts. What you focus on, you feel.

🧩 Practice: Set a timer and write down everything you’re grateful for for 90 seconds. Then check how you feel.


🌟 Rule #5: The Subconscious Believes What’s Repeated

You don’t need to be perfect—you need to be repetitive. Repetition is the language of the subconscious. That’s how beliefs are installed— and uninstalled.

🧩 Tool: Record your favorite affirmations and listen to them while falling asleep.


🌟 Rule #6: Imagination Is More Powerful Than Willpower

Your brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s vividly imagined. Visualization rewires your neural pathways.

🧩 Try This: Close your eyes and imagine your dream life in detail for 3 minutes a day.


🌟 Rule #7: The Mind Loves the Familiar

Even if the familiar is painful, your brain will choose it over the unknown. Growth feels uncomfortable—but that’s not a sign you’re doing it wrong. It’s a sign you’re doing it right.

🧩 Affirm: “This new feeling is just unfamiliar—not unsafe.”


🌟 Rule #8: Meaning Creates Emotion

It’s not the event. It’s the meaning you give it. Change the meaning, and you change how you feel.

🧩 Reframe: Ask, “What else could this mean that empowers me?”


🌟 Rule #9: Questions Direct the Mind

Your brain is a problem-solving machine. If you ask better questions, you get better answers.

🧩 Journal: Instead of “Why is this happening to me?” ask “What is this teaching me?”


🌟 Rule #10: The Mind and Body Are One System

Your thoughts don’t just live in your head—they live in your body.

Chronic stress, anxiety, fatigue?

These are all signs that your mental stories are affecting your nervous system.

🧩 Reset: Take three deep breaths and say, “I am safe, I am grounded, I am in control.”


🌟 Rule #11: The Mind Protects You With Outdated Patterns

Many of your current struggles are rooted in past survival. Your mind isn’t broken—it’s just using old programming. You can update the code.

🧩 Explore: What belief did I create to feel safe back then… and do I need it now?


🌟 Rule #12: The Present Moment Is Where Ease Lives

You can’t feel at ease in the future or the past—it only lives in the now.

🧩 Mantra: “Right now, in this moment, I am okay. And that is enough.”


💡Final Thoughts

Your mind isn’t your enemy—it’s your most powerful ally. But only if you learn how to work with it, not against it.

And when you do?

You don’t just think life is easy.
You feel it.
You live it.
You become it.
