Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One

Many of us struggle with being unhappy with how our life is going, and for some of us, our attempts to change or break old habits or behaviors don’t often stick. We want to make a change in our life but find ourselves discouraged by our inability to do so. In Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One, Joe Dispenza delves into why our attempts at change easily become undone and how to achieve true, lasting change.

Dispenza, a neuroscientist, chiropractor and teacher in the area of personal development, argues that we have a 'default mode,' which is our tendency to act and react in ways that are ingrained in us, preventing us from changing as we would like to. He explains that we have this mode because our brains have adapted to help us survive by forming habits, which then become hard wired. These habits are what stop us from fully attaining the changes that we seek.

In order to break this 'default mode,' Dispenza explains how to start making changes at the cellular level and rewire our brains. This entails understanding how we shape our thoughts and emotions, and how our past experiences shape us. We must also come to terms with the fact that our experience of the present moment is really just a composite of our past experiences and our environment. We must become aware that our actual strength, intelligence and character are determined by our brain's ability to change and adapt.

Dispenza provides readers with the tools essential for true personal transformation, such as understanding the different states of consciousness, learning how to use focus and visualization to create affirmative thought, and the practice of meditation. Meditation, which he connects with 'quantum biology,' is discussed in depth throughout the book. These exercises are meant to broaden one's consciousness and deepen the ability to use the power of the mind.

In addition, Dispenza includes scientific evidence to demonstrate that the physiological changes that occur when one is engaged in practices such as meditation, are enough to rewire one's brain and manifest change. He explains that when a conscious effort is made to focus on a desired outcome and immerse oneself in positive behaviors, thoughts and emotions, then these neurons in the brain become thicker and more robust, with more connection points.

Ultimately, Dispenza provides readers with a clear understanding of the neuroplasticity of the brain and how it's possible to make lasting change in your life. He explains how by changing one's thoughts and beliefs to align with an elevated state of consciousness, we can break the habit of being our old selves, and create a new self from scratch. He also gives readers tangible exercises to implement in order to change their brains and habits.

Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself is a captivating and comprehensive guide on how to become free from limiting beliefs by engaging in the power of the subconscious and harnessing the power of the mind. With a deep understanding of the science behind the relationships between thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and habits, Joe Dispenza teaches you the tools needed to create lasting change and create the life you truly desire.
