About the book

Your thoughts are not facts. Your story is not finished.

We spend so much of our lives somewhere else: replaying yesterday, rehearsing tomorrow, and repeating stories about ourselves that were never true to begin with. Be Where Your Feet Are is an invitation to come home to the present, and to rewrite the inner story that has been quietly running your life.

Blending coaching wisdom, neuroscience-informed insight, and original poetry, mindset coach Matthew Walley offers sixteen short chapters you can read in minutes and practice for a lifetime. Each ends with Micro-Courage Practices: small, doable acts that turn insight into everyday change.

Inside, you’ll learn to:

  • Notice the stories you tell yourself, and replace them with truer ones
  • Turn reaction into response in the moments that matter most
  • Water what you want to grow through attention and gratitude
  • Take brave action before you feel ready
