In Chapter 2 of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Joe Dispenza shows you the key to becoming greater than your environment: It turns out that you can, and it all starts with understanding the science behind your thoughts and emotions and how they impact your biology and perception of reality. Knowing how it all works and then harnessing your brain’s and genes’ powers makes it easier to reprogram your subconscious mind to align with your desired outcomes. Dr. Dispenza is a chiropractor, scientist, researcher, teacher, and international lecturer who is known for his work on the connection between the mind and the body. Joe Dispenza is a New York Times bestselling author. He has written several books on the topic of personal transformation and the science behind it. Dr. Dispenza received a B.S. from Evergreen State College and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University, where he graduated with honors. His postgraduate training and continuing education have been in neurology; neuroscience; brain function and chemistry; cellular biology; memory formation; and aging and longevity. What are key takeaways from Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself? Takeaway #1 Default Thinking To overcome these negative environmental influences, Dr. Dispenza suggests that individuals need to take an active role in creating their own environment. This means surrounding themselves with positive influences, such as supportive relationships, healthy habits, and empowering beliefs. By consciously choosing to surround themselves with positive influences, individuals can shift their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a positive direction. Step 1: Induction – change your brain waves to prepare you to enter a state that is conducive to meditation using one of these techniques:

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. Now, the science behind its weird consequences is unquestionable. And it boils down to this: a quantum system – say, an atom or a photon – can exist in multiple mutually exclusive states at one single moment. This is called quantum superposition, and it’s bizarre to even think about in theory. So if we want to change some aspect of our reality, we have to think, feel, and act in new ways; we have to “be” different in terms of our responses to experiences. We have to “become” someone else. We must create a new state of mind … we need to observe a new outcome with that new mind.” Step 6: Redirecting – prevent your mind from behaving unconsciously by consciously and judiciously disassociating from the practice of being yourself Summary: The main theme of this chapter is the idea that we have three different brains, each with its own unique function, and how we can harness the power of these brains to achieve our goals and create the life we desire.

But you can change if you are living out your fantasies. Because that’s who you want to become in the future. And it doesn't stop there. Your thoughts and emotions are also intimately connected to your physical state. Research has shown that stress, anxiety, and negative emotions can significantly impact your physical health. In contrast, positive thoughts and feelings can boost your immune system and improve your overall well-being. No wonder the placebo effect is so powerful; it highlights the role of our beliefs and expectations in shaping our physical outcomes. Working through these issues alone can be tough, and a therapist or counselor can offer guidance and support. Finally, he emphasizes the importance of "intention," which is the idea that our thoughts and emotions can influence the physical world. By setting clear intentions and focusing our attention on positive outcomes, we can create a new reality that aligns with our deepest desires.

To change, we need to think greater than how we feel. We need to act greater than the familiar feelings. we need to be different in terms of our responses to experiences. We basically need to become someone else. Dr. Dispenza argues that time is not a fixed and unchangeable reality but rather a subjective experience that is shaped by our thoughts and emotions. He suggests that our perception of time is often limited by our past experiences, beliefs, and expectations. These limitations can make it difficult for us to imagine and create a new future for ourselves. If you allow the outer world to control your internal thoughts and feelings, your environment will reprogram your brain to have ideas of being “equal to” all that is familiar to you. Focus on your intended future outcome and plan your actions to have clarity and focus in the present to experience your desired future.Take four weeks to complete seven steps: Induction, Recognizing, Admitting and Declaring, Surrendering, Observing and reminding, Redirecting, and Creating and rehearsing. 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. In addition, Dr. Dispenza introduces the concept of the "quantum observer" and how our consciousness can affect the behavior of subatomic particles. He suggests that this concept can be applied to our thoughts and emotions, as our consciousness can affect the behavior of our own neural pathways.

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s entertaining and highly accessible manual for rewiring your mental and emotional circuitry carries a simple but potent message: what you think today determines how you live tomorrow.”Dr. Dispenza argues that our physical body is a reflection of our thoughts and emotions. Negative thoughts and emotions can lead to physical stress, tension, and illness, while positive thoughts and emotions can promote health, vitality, and well-being. He suggests that by learning to harness the power of our mind, we can overcome physical limitations and achieve optimal health and wellness. And what if you already know this way intuitively, and have already mastered it, but in the wrong departments?
