Dr Joe Dispenza - Break the Habit of Being Yourself

[Music] how many people in this audience actually believe in the idea that the way you think has some effect on your life that your thoughts create your life you believe that yes so how many people here actually woke up this morning and consciously created a future you know the biggest reason why people don't do it is because you don't really believe it's true you see if you knew on a gut level that it was absolutely true would you ever miss a day come on and would you ever let any thought slipped by your awareness that

you didn't want to experience so your brain according to Neuroscience is organized to reflect everything you know in your life your brain is a record of your environment it's a record an artifact of your past so if you believe this then then does your environment control your thinking or does your thinking control your environment so if you wake up in the morning and you get out of bed on the same exact side as you did the day before you shut the alarm clock off with the same finger you slip into your favorite slippers you Shuffle

into the bathroom and you use the toilet like you always do then you walk over to the mirror and you look at yourself to remember who you are then you get into the shower and you wash yourself in the same routine way then you groom yourself to look like everybody expects you to look then you go downstairs and you drink coffee out of your favorite mug then you drive the work the same way as you did the day before you see the same people that push the same emotional buttons you do the exact thing that

you know how to do and you memorize and can do so well that you're an expert at then you hurry up and rush home so you can hurry up and check your emails so you could hurry up and go to bed so you can hurry up and do it all over again now here's my question did your brain change at all that day we could say that you were thinking the same thoughts performing the same actions that create the same experiences that produce the same emotions but secretly expecting something to change in your life would

you agree so then as the environment turns on different circuits in your brain you begin to think equal to your environment as you see the same people and go to the same places and do the same things at the same time it's the external environment that's turning on different circuits in your brain causing you to think equal to everything that you know and as long as you think equal to everything that's familiar or known to you what do you keep creating more of same life now the quantum law is still applying to you you're just

thinking equal to everything that you know and you keep creating more of the same to change to truly change is to think greater than your environment and every great person in history knew this whether it was William Wallace or mahat mandhi or Martin Luther King or Queen Elizabeth the first or Joan of Arc they all had a vision they all had an idea couldn't see it couldn't smell it couldn't taste it couldn't feel it but it was alive in their mind it was so alive in their mind that they began to live as if that

reality was actually happening now so can you believe in a future that you can't see or experience with your senses yet but you've thought about enough times in your mind that your brain is literally changed to look like the event has already happened Neuroscience says it's absolutely possible now your personality your personality creates your personal reality that's it it's that simple and your personality is made up of how you think how you act act and how you feel so the present personality who's sitting here today you has created the present personal reality called your life

would you agree would you also agree then if you wanted to create a new personal reality that on a fundamental level you would have to change the thoughts that you were thinking the behaviors and habits that you're demonstrating And the emotions that you've memorized that's become part of your identity and most people try to create a new personal reality as the same personality and it never works we have to become somebody else so then as you keep thinking the same thoughts performing the same actions and living by the same experiences that produce the same emotions

there's a principle in Neuroscience that says nerve cells that fire together wire together and if you keep repeating the same states of Mind and Body over and over again your brain begins to fire in the same sequences in the same patterns and same combinations and whenever you make your brain work in a certain way that's called Mind mind is the brain in action so as you remind yourself every day who you think you are you're causing your brain to fire in the exact same ways and as they fire in wire in the same patterns over

time the brain moves into a very finite signature and that's called your personality now that box in your brain isn't literally a box but it's the most commonly wired neurologically fired programs that run redundantly because we keep doing the same things over and over again to change your mind then is to make the brain work in new sequences and new patterns and new combinations to begin to make the brain work differently and the one ingredient that allows us to do that is knowledge or information because every time you learn something new you make a new

connection in your brain that's what learning is learning is forging new connections remembering is maintaining or sustaining those connections so now every time you have a thought you make a chemical and if you have a great thought or an unlimited thought or a joyful thought you turn on a set of circuits in your brain that fires in a very specific sequence pattern and combination that produces a level of mind that turns on another part of the brain that makes a chemical for you to begin to feel exactly the way you were just thinking great or

unlimited or joyful now if you have a negative thought or an unhappy thought or a self depreciating thought you turn on a different set of circuits and a different combination a different sequence and a different pattern that produces a different level of mind and the Brain then begins to make a different batch of chemicals that signals the body for you to begin begin to feel exactly the way you were just thinking negative or unhappy or unworthy so the moment you begin to feel the way you think because the brain is in constant communication with your

body you begin to think the way you feel which makes more chemical for you to feel the way you think and then you think the way you feel and then you feel the way you think and then you think the way you feel and some people do this for 20 or 30 or 40 years now the redundancy of that cycle over time creates what I call a state of being and a state of being is when your mind and body or working together or your thoughts and feelings are aligned to a concept so thoughts are

the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and as people get caught in this cycle of thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking over time they condition their body to memorize that emotion as well as the conscious mind and whenever the body knows as well as the mind that's called a habit a habit is when your body is the mind now 95% of Who You Are by the time you're 35 years old is a set of memorized behaviors set of emotional reactions beliefs perceptions attitudes that run just like a computer

program so 5% of your conscious mind begins to work against 95 % of what you've memorized so the person wants to think positively but they're feeling negatively they want to create their dream board you know and put up their future life but they feel unworthy that's mind and body and opposition we have to recondition the body to a new mind so how many people here know someone who's memorized suffering doesn't have to be you it could be anybody and you say to that person hey did you read the book I gave you what do they

say no did you see the DVD I gave you oh no Hey listen we're going to go out to dinner we're going to go see some standup comedy we go for a walk along the water you want to come no what are they saying I'm insisting on this neuro-chemical order that no person no thing no experience can move us from it and we have these three brains to allow us to move into new state of being and the quantum field Universal Mind whatever you want to call it responds to who you're being not what you're

thinking not what you're feeling but the combination of how you're thinking and how you're feeling called a state of being now most people wait for what crisis or trauma or disease or loss or or diagnosis to really want to change they wait wait to the point where the ego is brought to such a low level that they cannot go on business as usual any longer that's when we begin to look at how we're thinking or what we believe or how we act or our attitude or what emotions we're living by and my message is why

wait we can learn and change in a state of pain and suffering which tends to be the human model or we can learn and change in a state of joy and inspiration now you want to learn the heart hardest part about all of this you ready the hardest part of all of this the hardest part of all of this is making the time to do it that's it that's it making time for your precious self [Music]
