The Structure behind COYM
Books and Practice.
COYM - MASTER THE BASICS
Master the Basics is the first phase of the Chronicles of Your Mind workbooks and marks the entry point into the personal growth process. In this phase, foundational competencies are developed through daily practice before deeper self-reflection, emotional processing, and engagement with more profound layers of human experience begin.
The focus starts with core mechanisms of attention and focus, without which learning itself is not possible, and progresses toward the most underestimated foundational skill: patience. Human change is possible, but it requires time. When patience is absent, growth collapses. This phase provides all essential elements needed to establish a stable foundation for learning, development, and lasting personal change.
Master the Basics 1: Attention, Focus, Concentration is deliberately positioned as the first book of the series. Without these abilities, learning itself is not possible. While the terms attention, focus, and concentration are widely used, the distinctions between them are rarely understood and even fewer people have consciously experienced their different functional modes.
Many failed attempts at personal change and life improvement can be traced back to the absence of this foundational layer. Understanding how attention and focus operate, how they are experienced, and how they are applied in practice is an essential part of building a stable foundation for learning, development, and lasting change.
COYM - MASTER THE EMOTIONS
Master the Emotions is the second part of the Chronicles of Your Mind series and focuses entirely on emotions: how to experience them consciously, how to develop different perspectives, and how to understand their biochemical dimension. This process helps shift awareness out of the mind and habitual self-narratives, enabling a clear distinction between inner experience and outer reality.
These are only some of the competencies addressed within the domain of emotional intelligence in this series. Skillful engagement with emotional states fosters self-determination and opens possibilities that are often difficult to imagine, impacting health, success, and the capacity to live a fulfilled life.
COYM - MASTER THE PINNACLES
Master the Pinnacles focuses on lived reality and the practical implementation of inner development.
This phase addresses concrete themes and key life domains. Building on the skills developed in the first two phases, deeply rooted beliefs, projections, and inherited patterns are examined with precision, enabling self-responsible action, conscious life design, and the release of unresolved burdens.
This phase represents the highest level of the process. The abilities cultivated in Master the Basics and Master the Emotions are not optional; they are prerequisites. These books should not be used without the grounding provided by the first two phases, as doing so significantly increases the risk of misinterpretation and unconscious projection, leading to distorted results rather than meaningful change.
