In this video, we're going over ONE word that changed everything in my life. Once I learned this, I was finally able to reprogram my subconscious mind, apply self-development, and get manifestations to work in my life.

Here are the notes for this video:

4 LAYERS OF IDENTITY SHIFTING: ACTIONS: chaining techniques (temporary) EMOTIONS: chaining feelings (more powerful cause they guide actions. But trap when we do what love and avoid what we hate. Slave to just doing what’s easy/love) BELIEFS: More powerful but have millions of beliefs. Try to change them all? Not REAL cause - just symptom of mind. IDENTITY: Changing the root of who you are. Core. The root cause, not the symptom.

Most go 1-2-3 and why most fail. Need to go 3-2-1

Most people don’t consider IDENTITY change when set out to improve. Just think “I want to be skinny” (outcome) and if I stick to a diet (habit) I’ll be skinny (identity) - friend lost 100lbs just by asking “what would a healthy person do in this situation?”

The goal is not to not smoke, the goal is to become a nonsmoker The goal is not to write one page, the goal is to become a writer The goal is not to get into running, the goal is to become a runner

Every action is casting a VOTE for the person you want to become

We aren’t born with beliefs. Only collected through Evidence. (i.e. “I’m bad at math” I got from humiliated in 2nd grade) (i.e. “I’m a YouTuber / Entrepreneur” I got from filming 500 videos) (i.e. “I’m a liberal” get from watching only left fake news)

NOTES:

CAT STUDY: psychologist Edward Thorndike did an experiment on cats placed in a pitch-black box. Each cat did what you’d think — scramble around for minutes and freaking out! Clawing at walls. There was a lever that when the pressed door would open cat eventually found. Thorndike kept doing it to the same cats that escaped successfully. The response was after 20 or 30 times doing this avg cat escape in 6 seconds. It became habitual. Cats learned the power of habits - became conditioned and almost automatic. Saved all the panic of “OH MY GOD GOTTA ESCAPE!” -- Also got what they wanted FASTER with LESS effort: Out

You might be thinking: “Won’t habits make my life dull? Robotic? Where’s the fun/spontaneity/freedom!?” -- It’s the opposite. (i.e. me filming content first thing in the morning vs. stress no schedule have to) - discipline gives you freedom

ACTION // IMPLEMEMT What is ONE habit you KNOW would help you in 2.0 journey? (START DOING) What is ONE habit you KNOW is holding you back at 1.0? (STOP DOING)

THINK ABOUT IT: Winners and losers have the SAME GOALS! Habits are what determines if you WIN or LOSE — NOT goals!

THE GOAL IS NOT TO read one book BUT TO become a reader THE GOAL IS NOT TO make $1M dollars BUT TO become financially free THE GOAL IS NOT TO workout daily BUT TO become someone at 10% body fat

Dopamine Addiction 1954 two neuroscientists ran an experiment testing desire - used electrodes that blocked the release of dopamine in rats… what happened? Less motivated? Lazy? Fat? WORSE! They DIED. NO desire to eat, drink, reproduce, or do anything else — died of thirst. All of them. Habits are wired into us ALL leading to one thing: avoiding pain and seeking pleasure!

FIVE WORDS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE: You are not your feelings. If you look at human life, we see that it’s essentially one long elaborate struggle to escape. Escape our fears, inner feelings, conflict, suffering, etc. People explain it as “the human condition” even. What’s the method for doing this? Going over that technique and 10 Big ideas from Letting Go - the Pathway to Surrender by David R. Hawkins.

NOTES:

STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THOUGHTS: when you hear the word “surrender” or “letting go” what comes up? Ask me that 5 years ago early 20s I would have said “DEFEAT!” or “GIVING UP!” - toxic narrative. Exhausting. Random. There’s peace in letting go/surrendering. Knowing which battles to choose in life - can’t fight them all. Can’t FIGURE everything out! The Point: Stop trying to change thoughts. You have 60k per day. Real root is the feeling. Go here.

REAL ROOT IS FEELINGS: Research showing thoughts aren’t stored in the mind - they are categorized. Like a file on the computer. Categorized under FEELINGS. Thousands/millions of thoughts can be REPLACED by a single emotion “Emotions are a record of the past” -- Emotions are more Primitive in brain — thoughts are NEWER, so less priority.

SUPPRESSION // REPRESSION SUPPRESSION: Consciously done. REPRESSION: Subconsciously done. Repression is DEEPER - usually too much guilt/shame around event to deal with consciously. Stuff it down. The root of patterns we have in relationships, friendships, business, self-talk, money, family, etc.

EXPRESSION Pressure valve to release a little inner pressure -- goes back to repressing and surpassing more “Isn’t it GOOOD to express feelings?” - sometimes! But can be SELFISH. i.e. friend who was dating a manipulative woman. ALWAYS needing to “have a talk” - just her way of PROJECTING onto him all responsibility of a relationship.
