Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How To Lose Your Mind And Create A New One

Product Information

When we can change our minds independent of the environment and then steadfastly embrace an ideal with sustained concentration, the brain will be ahead of the environment. You can change your brain’s hardware, its physical structures, its anatomy, its neurons. If you keep installing, reinforcing, and refining your neurological hardware, the end result of that repetition is a neural network—in effect, a new software program. The book advises practicing mindfulness and meditation as a way to become more aware of one's thoughts and emotions and to gain control over them. Dispenza suggests using visualization and affirmations to create new neural pathways in the brain and to reprogram the mind for success. Conscious positive thinking alone cannot overcome subconscious negative thoughts and feelings, as most of these may subconsciously live as negativity in the body. Hold a clear intention of what you want, but leave the “how” details to the unpredictable quantum field. Let it orchestrate an event in your life in a way that is just right for you. If you’re going to expect anything, expect the unexpected. Surrender, trust, and let go of how a desired event will unfold. When you are in a state of gratitude, you transmit a signal into the field that an event has already occurred. Choose a potential reality that you want, live it in your thoughts and feelings, and give thanks ahead of the actual event. Dr. Dispenza discusses how the principles of quantum entanglement and coherence can help us understand the relationship between our thoughts and emotions and our behavior and experiences. These principles suggest that our thoughts and emotions can affect the physical world around us, and by directing our attention towards positive outcomes, we can jump to parallel realities where those outcomes have already occurred.

The first step is to activate your neocortex. Meaning: you need to find yourself a model – or, even better, models – and study their actions. You want to be a Maya Angelou or a Winston Churchill? Read about them and teach your neocortex what they did to become who they are. Think about it this way: you won’t change if you are living out your memories. Because that’s exactly who you are in the first place. In Part III of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Dr Joe Dispenza provides a step-by-step meditation process to change your life, mind, and body. You will evolve and become empowered, grateful, and energized to produce an outcome outside of you Chapter 9: The Meditative Process: Introduction and PreparationPeople can literally change their brains and lives through regular brain-healthy habits, like correcting negative beliefs. Thus, everything in our physical reality exists as pure potential. If subatomic particles can exist in an infinite number of possible places simultaneously, we are potentially capable of collapsing into existence an infinite number of possible realities. In other words, if you can imagine a future event in your life based on any one of your desires, that reality already exists as a possibility in the quantum field, waiting to be observed by you. If your mind can influence the appearance of an electron, then theoretically it can influence the appearance of any possibility. That means that the quantum field contains a reality in which you are healthy, wealthy, and happy, and possess all of the qualities and capabilities of the idealised self that you hold in your thoughts.

In Chapter 6 of the book, Dr. Joe Dispenza helps you embrace the idea that you have “three brains” that allow you to move from thinking to doing to being: Dr. Dispenza also emphasizes the importance of gratitude in this process. By focusing on the positive aspects of our past experiences and being grateful for them, we can create new neural networks and change our patterns of behavior and beliefs. Through this approach, we can achieve self-transcendence and live a more fulfilling life. Dr. Dispenza also discusses the importance of using calibrated questions to understand the motivations and interests of the other party in negotiation. By avoiding confrontational "why" questions and using more neutral "how" and "what" questions, we can build rapport and create a sense of partnership with the other party, ultimately leading to a more successful outcome. Identity Gap “between who you really are in your inner, private world and how you appear in the outer, social world” We don’t have time to explain this in detail, but in brief: if something can be in superposition of all its possible states at once and if it is our observation which reduces the superposition to a single state, and, finally, if it is true that information mustn’t be lost, then there is an infinite number of parallel universes (a many-worlds multiverse) across which practically everything has already happened, is happening or will happen!It is our scientific observations which allow us to fix things into more permanent forms – i.e., change their state from waves to particles (something called, the wave function collapse). As strange as this sounds, most scientists think this interpretation of quantum mechanics – called the Copenhagen Interpretation – is our best guess at how the universe works. In Chapter 7 of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, the author discusses how to escape ingrained habits and emotions and close the identity gap:
