Why I’m Still Giving Away Day 1 of Mind Reset
by Alex Rivera
When I first released Mind Reset – 7 Days to Rewire Your Mind and Change Your Life: A Simple Day-by-Day Guide to Build Discipline, Confidence, and Clarity, I didn’t expect the reaction I got.
I wrote it because I needed it — a reset. A way to break out of the mental loops I was stuck in. I figured maybe a few others out there needed it too.
But the messages started coming in:
“This book gave me back control of my mind.”
“I didn’t know how badly I needed Day 1.”
“Finally, something short, powerful, and clear.”
That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a book. It was a mirror. A tool. A wake-up call.
So why is Day 1 still free?
Because I believe change doesn’t have to take months.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment of clarity. One simple shift. One decision.
If someone is overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or losing their drive — I want them to be able to start without hesitation.
No email, no forms. Just the first step, freely offered.
The full 7 days go deeper.
Each day builds on the last. It’s short on purpose — so you actually finish it.
But the clarity stays with you much longer.
If you’ve read Mind Reset, thank you. And if you haven’t, check my profile — you’ll find where to start.
I still believe the first page can change everything.

How I Rewired My Mind in 7 Days — Reflections from the Author of Mind Reset
If you're anything like me, you’ve probably experienced seasons where your thoughts felt like quicksand — the more you struggled, the deeper you sank.
That’s where I was. High-functioning on the outside, mentally burned out on the inside. Overthinking everything, doubting myself, losing touch with what really mattered.
Then something shifted.
One evening I asked myself:
What if the problem isn’t my life… but the way I think about it?
That question led me to design a 7-day experiment — one that changed how I think, feel, and show up in the world. I called it Mind Reset.
It became the foundation of my book Mind Reset – 7 Days to Rewire Your Mind and Change Your Life: A Simple Day-by-Day Guide to Build Discipline, Confidence, and Clarity — and in this post, I want to share the 3 mindset shifts that made the biggest difference.
💡 Shift #1: Your Mind Is a Tool — Not Your Master
We believe every thought we have. But we shouldn’t.
Most thoughts are automatic — echoes from the past, shaped by fear, fatigue, or habit. I learned to stop treating my thoughts as facts. Instead, I started noticing them, writing them down, and questioning them.
Small Practice:
Write down a recurring negative thought. Then ask:
Would I say this to someone I care about?
If not, it doesn’t belong in your head either.
🧱 Shift #2: Don’t Wait for Motivation — Build a Structure
Waiting for motivation was my biggest trap. I told myself I’d start when I felt more energized, more inspired — but that day never came.
So I built structure instead:
A 5-minute reset each morning.
A core question to reflect on.
One limiting belief to reframe.
That routine created momentum — not flashy, but consistent. And it worked.
Try This:
Pick a tiny, daily habit — even 3 minutes. Repeat it for 7 days. Consistency rewires faster than motivation ever will.
💪 Shift #3: Confidence Comes from Proof
Confidence isn’t a feeling. It’s a consequence.
It’s what happens when you keep promises to yourself — even small ones. That 5-minute walk. That phone-free moment. That journaling prompt you didn’t skip.
Every time I followed through, I sent a message to my brain: You can trust me now.
Try This:
Choose one promise you can keep this week. Keep it. That’s how confidence grows — in silence, in repetition.
What Came After the 7 Days
No fireworks. No dramatic life makeover. Just a subtle, powerful change in how I felt.
The noise quieted.
My thoughts slowed.
And I felt in control again — not of the world, but of myself.
That’s what Mind Reset became:
A 7-day reboot for people who want clarity — but don’t know where to start.
If you're curious about the journey, I’d love to share it with you.
