Become Someone New to Create a New Future

The world has always been dynamic—perhaps more so today than ever before.
To not only survive but to thrive in our personal and professional lives, we must continually learn, change, and grow. Adaptation isn’t optional. It’s the path to creating the life and results we want.

In Your Personality Shapes Your Personal Reality, we shared that your personality is made up of:

• How you think
• How you act
• How you feel

These elements form the lens through which you experience your life. They are your personal reality.

We also noted an important truth: 90% of today’s thoughts are the same thoughts you had yesterday.
And if your thoughts repeat, your actions repeat. Your emotions repeat.
You end up reliving the same day, over and over—even while hoping for a different future.

The YOU sitting here today—your current personality—has produced the life you are currently living.
If you want a new life, you cannot create it with the same mindset, habits, and emotions.

In other words:
You cannot keep thinking, acting, and feeling the way you do now and expect your dreams to come true.
You MUST become someone new.
You MUST change your personality to create a new personal reality.

This is the essence of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One.

Darren Hardy echoes the same principle in The Compound Effect:

“If you want to have more, you have to become more. Success is not something you pursue. It’s something you attract by the person you become.”

So the real question becomes:

How Do You Become the Person You Want to Be?

How do you become your envisioned future?

By…
Believing.
Behaving.
Becoming.

In Change Your Mind. Create New Results training, we teach the neuroscience behind successful, sustainable change.
You’ll reconnect to how you’ve created change in the past, learn how your brain and body work together (and against you), and gain the tools to finally make change stick.

Once you learn these tools…
You cannot unlearn them.
You’ll repeat them for yourself—and you’ll recognize how to help others change as well.

The Hardest Part of Change

The hardest part of change is simple to say and difficult to do:

Not making the same choice you made yesterday.

The moment you choose differently, be prepared—you will feel uncomfortable.

Why?
Because you're leaving the familiar territory of the known and stepping into the unfamiliar territory of the unknown.
You are crossing the river of change.

If your body has been conditioned to run the show—if your body has become the mind—it will fight to pull you back into old patterns. It will influence:

• Your thoughts
• Your choices
• Your behaviors
• Your experiences
• Your emotions

All to keep you anchored in your familiar self.

So you must ask:

• What thoughts do I want to fire and wire in my brain?
• What behaviors do I want to demonstrate?
• What emotions do I want to feel as I trade fear, pain, and unworthiness for gratitude, joy, and freedom?

If you can think differently…
If you can act differently…
If you can feel differently…
You will change your personality.
And that is how you begin to change your life.

The Biological Model for Change

To move from your familiar past to a new future, a specific biological process must occur. Change requires:

• Unlearning and relearning
• Breaking habits of the old self and reinventing a new self
• Pruning old neural connections and growing new ones
• Unfiring and unwiring old circuits, refiring and rewiring new circuits
• Losing your mind and creating a new one
• Becoming familiar with the old self—and then familiar with the new self you are choosing
• Deprogramming and reprogramming
• Un-memorizing emotions stored in the body and reconditioning the body to a new mind
• No longer living in the past—and generating a new future
• Pulling your attention and energy out of the past and directing it toward your envisioned future

This is the biological process required to transform your familiar past into a new personal reality.

This is what you must do to create a new future for YOU.

Growth demands Strategic Discipline.

Most of us fail to realize we are responsible for our lives. We are the creators of our lives. My life is simply a succession of choices/decisions I’ve made, and that I consciously or unconsciously choose to continue to make each day.

It’s a scary thought, but the reality is – YOU CREATE Your LIFE!

You’ve been doing it and will continue to do it. The encouraging part of this is if you’re responsible for creating your life, YOU can create it to be what you want. Change Your Mind. Create New Results training helps you create the life you want. In next week’s blog, how to create the life you want.
