What I Learned After Writing My First Motivational Book
by Alex Rivera
When I sat down to write Mind Reset – 7 Days to Rewire Your Mind and Change Your Life, I had no idea where it would lead. I didn’t have a publishing deal, a huge audience, or a marketing plan.
What I had was frustration—and a notebook full of mindset shifts that had quietly changed my life.
I wrote the book I needed to read: short, structured, and practical. A 7-day plan to help readers break free from mental loops and regain clarity, confidence, and control.
✍️ Here's what I learned along the way:
1. People crave simplicity—especially in self-help.
We’re all overwhelmed. That’s why I designed Mind Reset to give readers one powerful shift per day, instead of overwhelming them with theory. The feedback I received confirmed it: small steps can create big change.
2. Writing the book is only half the journey.
Publishing is the easy part. Reaching readers is the challenge. I learned to wear many hats—author, designer, marketer, community builder. And each role taught me something new about communication, clarity, and showing up consistently.
3. You don’t need to be an “expert”—you need to be honest.
I wrote from personal experience, not a psychology degree. And that authenticity resonated. Readers don’t want perfection—they want truth, structure, and encouragement.
If you're an aspiring author: write the book that’s burning inside you. And if you're a reader on a mindset journey of your own, thank you for letting Mind Reset be part of it.

The First Reviews Are Coming In — One Reader at a Time
When I 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 it to explode overnight.
I just wanted it to reach someone who needed a mental reset as much as I once did.
Since then, I’ve been sharing it one person at a time — and now, the very first reviews are starting to come in.
Each one means a lot to me.
Not because they’re all glowing (though some are!), but because they’re real. Real readers. Real reflections. Real connection.
That’s what matters most.
🧠 If you’re curious, you can try Day 1 for free here:

It’s the chapter that helped me personally break through the fog — and now I offer it freely to anyone who might need it.

🎧 Mind Reset Audiobook Coming Soon
I’ve got some exciting news to share — Mind Reset is currently being turned into an audiobook!
When I wrote this book, my goal was to create something short, clear, and powerful — something you could use to shift your mindset one day at a time.
But I also know that not everyone connects through reading.
Some people process change better by hearing it — in their own rhythm, with a voice guiding them through the noise.
That’s why I’ve decided to bring Mind Reset to audio.
📘 Mind Reset – 7 Days to Rewire Your Mind and Change Your Life: A Simple Day-by-Day Guide to Build Discipline, Confidence, and Clarity is a short self-help guide designed to help you:
✅ Break mental loops
✅ Clear your mind
✅ Rebuild confidence — one day, one shift at a time
The audiobook is in production now, and I’m really looking forward to sharing it soon.
In the meantime, you can still read Day 1 completely free (no email needed):
👉 https://bit.ly/trymindresetday1
Or if you'd like to receive the full ARC (advance reader copy), feel free to message me or email:
