What are the patterns?

What is the antidote?

What do I need to reconceptualize, see it differently?

If we use an algebraic example, we all probably remember X plus Y equals Z. Even if we didn't understand it, I'm sure all of us can recall X plus Y equals Z.

And the concept there is that X plus Y creates something kind of new that's over, it sort of replaces.

I'm not saying that.

I'm saying X plus Y equals XY.

Reconceptualization is XY.

Because it's your story that you don't want to just, is it?

I'm putting a Band-Aid on.

I'm not fixing the issue.

And that's what, if you just do like 10 CBT cognitive behavior therapy, not that I'm saying it's bad.

You can use CBT, but CBT fits in step five.

if you want it to work for you.

You've got to first find out what's going on and then you, but if you just, or positive affirmations, people use, they're feeling terrible or they want to achieve a goal, 10 of those in the morning, 10 at night, it's a bandaid.

It's not going to be sustainable because you have to find out

What are you trying to drown with the affirmation?

So you want the affirmation to work.

You have to go through the neuro cycle.

Then the affirmation will work as a first step.
