Habit is when you’ve done something so many times that your body now knows how to do it better than your conscious mind then it’s programmed subconsciously so that when the body knows how to do it better than the conscious mind.

Habits are like cruise control. Some times cruise control is not the best thing.
What are some of the biggest myths relating to behavior change and I guess character and personality change um that hold people back. Unconsciously we’re always waiting for something out there in our life to change so that we can change or feel the relief of the lack of what we don’t have and I do think that’s kind of a limited model of reality. I think when you start changing inside of you and you start seeing the changes happening outside of you, you go from being a victim in your life to being a creator of your life and I think that when that occurs then all of a sudden it’s no longer a have to, it’s something that you want to do. You don’t you actually don’t want the magic to end in your life. So now you become a work in progress by investing in yourself. When you invest in yourself you invest in your future. So there’s probably a chronic disbelief that many of us have that we’re not creators of our life and the only once we get the parking space or something good happens to us do we believe that we’re the creator of our life. But imagine a world where everybody actually took responsibility in being the creator of their life and no longer the victim of their life. I think we would see a dramatic shift in Consciousness.

When we start taking responsibility for what we think, do and say, we start to change. When we start to change, our environment changes.
If my personality creates my personal reality and my personality is made of how I think, how I act and how I feel, if I want to create a new personal reality, a new life I’m going to have to change my Personality. And most people try to create a new reality a new personal reality as the same personality and it doesn’t work. We literally have to become someone else. So if you said okay, let me not default and go unconscious to that 95 percent of who I am that’s programmed, let me become so conscious of the way I think and become so aware of how I’m going to act today and then if you said okay, the belief is just a thought I keep thinking over and over again, what thoughts do I want to fire and wire in my brain and with attention to begin to familiarize yourself with a new way of thinking. Meditation means to become familiar with. If you keep firing and wiring those circuits you’re going to begin to install the hardware. Repeat it enough times and it becomes a software program that could be the new voice in your head that says I can, it is possible. If you said okay, when did I fall from grace yesterday when did I when did I lose it, oh my gosh it was with at work with my co-workers with my ex with my enemy with the news with traffic. Acting this way is not going to make me happy. If I had another opportunity, how would I do it. If you could close your eyes and rehearse in your mind mentally how you’re going to behave in certain situations. Rehearsing how? Well mentally rehearsing is one of these great ideas in Neuroscience where you can actually install circuits in your brain right so everybody has done this musicians do it they’re playing a song in their mind all the time athletes do it they’re always going over their moves uh dancers do it, actors do it. So many people rehearse mentally what they’re about to do and when they do that they actually prime their brain. They actually can change their brain and change their body just by thought alone.

If you want to change your life, you need to practice living the life that you want.
