0:00.0	If you've ever said I know what to do, I just don't do it. This loop is why. So most of us,
0:05.5	including yourself, are not lazy. We're not broken. We're not unmotivated. We just get trapped in a loop
0:11.0	that your neural system thinks is keeping you safe. A core belief is like a hook. This hook gets
0:17.2	formed way before we're seven. If you look at the neurology of what happens to the brain
0:21.6	hemispheres from conception to seven, little kids, we're essentially on drugs. And this is really
0:26.7	beautiful because the mind is like a rose. The mind is very malleable. It's also very dangerous.
0:32.1	Because whatever that child is told, whatever that child sees, and whatever that child experiences

0:49.4	breakup, overeating, addiction, all these crazy, challenging things before you finally give yourself

1:07.1	So most of us, including yourself, are not lazy. We're not broken. We're not unmotivated.
1:12.0	We just get trapped in a loop that your neural system thinks is keeping you safe.
1:16.1	Most people try to change their lives at the level of action or discipline or habits or
1:20.5	performance. But the real loop that I'm going to share with you today has the power to
1:24.3	change your life forever. I know that sounds like I'm being very straightforward and
1:29.4	very reductionistic, but here's the real truth. I have lived what we're going to talk about today.
1:34.2	Today we're going to talk about the BTFA loop. It's on the screen right now, belief, thought,
1:39.3	feeling, and action. This is exactly the way that I've learned how to change my behaviors from
