Debugging Your Mind-
Suppose you are a hacker. You are working on a core. You must eliminate all boxes. For example, there is a box in the computer program which repeatedly shows errors. Similarly, if you want to hack your brain then you have to debug your brain. The author says that we all have different mental bugs. Which does not occur to us easily.
Or generally, we continue to ignore them. The author has given a suggestion to debug the mind. That is – you need to look at the areas of your life that are not working. Where your pain is. It can be your health, your relationships, financial problems, anxiety, depression, etc.
Choose the area you need to work in. And see what story you are repeatedly telling yourself about that particular area. The reason for this is that we have to find out the negative side of that problem and debug it to create a positive thought look.
For example, your health is not in your best phase. And you keep telling yourself that you have to go to the gym again today. I am very tired today. I do not have the energy to run. I hate exercising. Now whenever you think of exercising, these negative thoughts will be activated.
And you can never exercise. Now, if you tell yourself that – exercise makes me feel more energetic. I like it a lot after exercising. These thoughts will create a positive thoughts loop for you. And you will automatically start taking action.
Get in Shape-

If you want 6 packs then you know how much work you have to do physically for it. Similarly, if you want to have a highly focused and productive mindset, then you have to follow a mental diet. For this, you need to reclaim and retrain your brain.
Reclaim-
Reclaiming the brain means saving all your attention. Avoid things where your mind goes automatically. To do this you need to reduce all your distractions.
Retrain-
To retrain our brain, the author said that we have to play mind games. That is meditation. We think meditation is a very boring job. So, the author says to treat meditation as a mind game. The author suggests a funny game.
Whose name is Alien Blaster? Where we sit and meditate on our breath. And suddenly a thought comes to our mind. This is normal. To treat those thoughts in such a way that it is an alien. And it has to be blasted. And we have to bring our attention back to our breathing. It will make us focused and productive.
