Did you know that up 95% of your value system is programmed into your neural pathways before the age of 18!!?? No wonder we act like kids and throw tantrums when we're 35, ok 58 😎.

Thoughts precede emotions, emotions in motion lead to behaviors. But, where do the thoughts start? Where do they come from?

Your thoughts originate from your value systems and programs. Your values and programs were instilled from other humans in your life - your mothers, fathers, teachers and preachers. In addition to the humans in your world, how and where you grew up, the messages you were told, the events - negative and positive, ultimately influence your thoughts, now.

Interestingly: 95% of your values are instilled before you’re 18!!!

0-4 years old - 50%

5-8 years old - 30%

9-18 years old - 15% =====> 95%

Before the age of 10-12 years old, your brain is really a sponge. You don’t really have the framework necessary to make rational thoughts out of the information you're taking in. You create stories to make the information make sense. Many of these stories no longer serve you as an adult, and are the root of self sabotaging behaviors, guilt and shame.

The good news is - You don’t have to live with what was programmed. You can change your programming. I’m going to go into this on the next few podcasts! So, please, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!
