Steven Bartlett with Dr Joe Dispenza
A familiar room, person, or routine can pull you back into an old reaction. This approach to change focuses on noticing that cue before the habitual response takes over.
Dispenza contends that roughly ninety-five percent of adult thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions become subconsciously programmed habits that run automatically unless consciously interrupted.
Breaking conditioned patterns requires metacognition, where a person observes unconscious thoughts and emotional reactions without acting on them automatically.
Mental rehearsal primes brain circuitry and conditions body physiology because focused visualization activates neural pathways similarly to physical practice.
