Free Your Mind and the Best Will Follow (2013)    

The phrase "If it ain’t one thing, it’s another" resonates with the constant challenges in life. There is always an issue that needs to be addressed: Health issues, finance issues, parenting issues, addiction issues, weight issues, relationship issues, incarceration issues, and more. This book is designed to empower readers to tackle their issues by transforming the way they think. 

​

"Free Your Mind and the Best Will Follow" is a transformative guide designed to assist individuals in overcoming various obstacles and achieving their dreams. This book presents practical strategies designed to unlock personal power and potential. The author shares personal experiences, referred to as “journeys to freedom,” which serve as the foundation for step-by-step activities that tackle important issues such as stress management, forgiveness, replacing fear with faith, and transitioning from a mentality of victimhood to one of empowerment. 

Central to the book's philosophy is the idea that altering one's thought patterns can lead to significant changes in life. Each chapter offers actionable activities that encourage readers to liberate their minds while exploring essential concepts, including commitment, forgiveness, self-love, and overcoming fear. For anyone seeking to shift their mindset and behaviors toward a more fulfilling life, this book provides valuable insights and practical tools to get started on that journey.

Reviews

Someone has said, ‘Life is what happens when you are making other plans.’ It’s true. Everyone has some sort of baggage in their life, but it’s what you do with your problems that makes the difference. Russell writes in chapter 2, “You’ll see that as you change the way you think, you’ll begin to conquer your fears, and when you conquer your fears, you’ll be free to fly.” For Russell, one of those fears was to write-to-publish. Today, she is a successful author, leads workshops in the southeast, and encourages others in living the good life. This book will help you find peace and fulfillment in your role as a woman.”

“Once I opened the cover of this book, I could not put it down. It's an easy read with very simple activities. I have read some self-help books but this by far is the best as far as being able to relate. If you take a little time to perform the activities, the results will appear. The activities are not like finding time to go out to the gym to work out, they can be performed right at home before you go to bed or instead of watching the TV. Wonderful book!! Simply amazing!”

“I enjoyed this book and felt such a connection to the author's experiences as a child and her ability to learn from each chapter of her life. Her ability to go back to the hurt, anger, disappointment and realize that some good actually is able to be discerned from each aspect of our lives. Myrtle showed us that when 'life throws you lemons - you make lemonade.' I advise this book for the young and not so young, because our youth could/would benefit from reading this book in a book club setting so that discussion takes place and questions get answered. I have advised friends and relatives to get a copy because they won't be disappointed.”

“Free Your Mind and the Best Will Follow is a wonderful, insightful and instructive book for taking the steps necessary to change one's life. The beauty of it, to me, is that you don't have to be religious to understand the principles. The work necessary to make the change is easily understood and I am using it for my first Book Club Conference Call on January 31, 2013! Thanks for the great work that can help so many others.”
