If you've ever said I know what to do, I just don't do it. This loop is why. So most of us,

including yourself, are not lazy. We're not broken. We're not unmotivated. We just get trapped in a loop

that your neural system thinks is keeping you safe. A core belief is like a hook. This hook gets formed

way before we're seven. If you look at the neurology of what happens to the brain

hemispheres from conception to seven, little kids, we're essentially on drugs. And this is really

beautiful because the mind is like a rose. The mind is very malleable. It's also very dangerous.

Because whatever that child is told, whatever that child sees, and whatever that child experiences

are going to shape the

fabric that makes the tapestry of the entire reality of this child. How many times do you have to

get your heart trampled on before you change? How many times do you have to go through divorce,

breakup, overeating, addiction, all these crazy, challenging things before you finally give yourself

the white flag and raise it in the air and say, you know what? I love myself enough to learn how to

feel.

So most of us, including yourself, are not lazy. We're not broken, we're not unmotivated.

We just get trapped in a loop that your neural system thinks is keeping you safe.

Most people try to change their lives at the level of action or discipline or habits or

performance. But the real loop that I'm going to share with you today has the power to

change your life forever. I know that sounds like I'm being very straightforward and

very reductionistic, but here's the real truth. I have lived what we're going to talk about today.

Today we're going to talk about the BTFA loop. It's on the screen right now, belief, thought, feeling,

and action. This is exactly the way that I've learned how to change my behaviors from the inside

out instead of always relying on these external frameworks for change. I know you feel this.
