Ep 75: Why Changing Your Mindset Never Works


Listen Later

Start Your Transformation Now


If you’re like just about every person on the planet you’ve wanted something different in your life and you’ve tried to “change your mindset” to create new things in life, right?


And, if you’re like most of the planet, a few days later you’ve found yourself right back in your old patterns and ways.


Why does this happen?


Easy, “changing your mindset” does not work. It’s a left-brain process and behavior and habits come from a different part of the brain, the reptilian brain…so, when trying to think our way to change we have two parts of our brain at odds and the reptilian brain will dominate and always win!


In this episode I talk about why changing your mindset never works and I give you a path to what works and what to do instead.


In this episode I talk about:

  • [8:43] How changing mindset is a broken and ineffective strategy for change
  • [9:44] How mindset is mental but behavior and habits and neurological
  • [12:28] How different parts of your brain play different roles in change
  • [16:12] Why self-deception and mindset are a trap
  • [19:13] Why we must think from “higher levels” than mindset
  • [21:03] And the roles of subconscious identity and brain-based habits

  • As I say in this episode, the masses have been taught that if you want to get the change you just need to change your mindset and that is just not so…and your own life probably proves that!


    To create the lasting and permanent change you must understand how your brain works in the process of change and then work with your brain to facilitate the change.


    Transformational Takeaway: Changing mindset does not work – changing identity and habits does
