Summary

Start Your Transformation Now You’ve heard the old phrase before, “If nothing changes then nothing changes.” But, things don’t change, we change (or not), and if we don’t change then nothing in our world changes. My observation from doing my work over decades is that people will give lip service to change and they will dream and plan and fantasize about it but few actually pay the price and do the work to create it! To change your circumstances…your money, relationships, health, and anything in your life you must change. When you change then these “things” also change because they respond to who you are and what you do. Life responds and mirrors you and your changes. And, as we all know, we must change but we don’t. Have you ever asked yourself why? There are several reasons but two, in particular, are both brain-based. One is Predictability and the other is Identity Confirmation. There is a part of your brain that operates from a predictability/certainty principle and a part of your brain that wants “Identity Confirmation.” These two brain-based functions keep you trapped in the behavior of not changing, which is totally against what you often think you want. You know that if nothing changes then nothing changes but you still don’t take change action. It’s not your fault, it’s your brain. The only way to create change is to actually use your mind to drive your brain. The only way to create change is to take action on your desired change. In this episode, I talk more about it all and some simple practical steps to start creating change in your life. Transformational Takeaway: A part of your brain will keep you in your same place in life. You have to override your brain by using your mind.
