| 0:00.0 | Have you ever noticed that right when you are finally doing better, it suddenly gets harder, |
| 0:03.9 | like your brain turns the volume up and tries to drag you back into the old habit? |
| 0:08.6 | That is not you failing. |
| 0:10.0 | That is a real psychological phenomenon called extinction burst. |
| 0:13.7 | And it's the reason so many people relapse right when they are closest to a breakthrough. |
| 0:18.3 | There is a clear formula to identity shift and transform out of self-sabotage |
| 0:22.6 | and into self-awareness. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how. |

| 1:04.7 | saw you put boundaries on the cookie jar and immediately decides to audition for the Cirque de Soleil. |
| 1:11.1 | The reason I'm starting here is because most people interpret this spike |
| 1:15.2 | as proof that something is wrong with them, like they're broken. |
| 1:18.7 | So they either shame themselves or they run back to the habit |
