It can feel... It is a lie until it's not.
Right, exactly.
And I had someone, a client that I coached, and he struggled with this habit for his entire life.
And
I told him, I was like, he's like, I don't know why I keep falling back to this.
And I was like, well, that's it right there.
You have this story that you always fall back to this.
And so your brain is just confirming the story and the belief that you already have.
And so I said, just tell a different story.
And he came back two weeks later and he had this whole transformation already.
And he's like, yeah, I just went up to my friend.
I was like, I'm just not that type of person anymore.
And he's like, my friend laughed at me, but it's true.
And so I think that kind of is one component to it.
But then there's the other component, which there are things that our identity anchors.
So things like habits, your environment, the people around you, even the foods that you eat.
I mean, the brain is an association machine.
So it always is making associations or connections with everything, especially in an environment, which is why I mean, like moving is such a crazy way to level up in life because you're taking your brain out.
of an environment, putting it into a brand new one where there are no prior associations, there's no old identity.
So you kind of, your brain kind of just has to like build this new construction of who you are in this new space.
