Ep 417: Throwback to Ep346: Conversations with a Sorcerer: Escaping Your Biggest Enemy Part 2

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you started something: working out, a new work regimen or wanting to do something new and you found yourself falling off track in just a few short weeks? It’s not your fault. You can thank the reptilian part of your brain for pulling you off track. However, that part of your brain is pulling you off track to keep you on track with your old habits, whether they serve you or not. Most people think they need the motivation to get things done, but that’s not necessarily true. Wanting motivation is wanting to do what you’re not already subconsciously and “brain” programmed to do. In this episode I talk about: [2:14] What has to precede motivation if you want to stay on track [3:13] How you’re probably starting in the wrong place “psychologically” with motivation [3:34] What sustains motivation [6:08] Why commitment most often needs to precede motivation [6:40] How self-integrity comes can keep you on track [22:11] Why motivation is driven by unconscious habits And much more… Stop working from motivation and start working from commitments and unconscious brain-based habits and see how quickly your life transforms! Transformational Takeaway  Motivation is sustained from your commitments, and your commitments are driven by your brain based habits.

Start Your Transformation Now You probably believe in the Law of Attraction, but if you’re like most people you’re struggling with money. And this is because you’re most likely using law of attraction against you. If this is you, listen to this episode now because we're about to change all that for you! People who have money work from prosperity consciousness. They are engaging the Law of Attraction in a way that actually attracts money for them, instead of repelling money for them. When it comes to money, most people focus on not having it and they focus on lack. What you put out in thought is what you attract back, and most people engage in the Law of Attraction because they need money, and therefore are in fear and desperation, and that’s what they are vibrating and feeling and attracting back. In this episode, you are going to learn how to manage your emotions which affect your frequency, what your prosperity consciousness is, how you feel about being rich, and separating your money from your work. In this episode I discuss: Everything you have in your life or don’t have is reflecting who and how you’re BEing unconsciously, and who and how you are BEing in your thought. The universe does not test you, it reflects you. HUGE myth: Money comes from hard work! Exact steps that you need to master to use the Law of Attraction to actually bring money to you as opposed to repelling money for you like it did in the past. One of the easiest ways to change your prosperity consciousness. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Wherever you have your attention, wherever you have your emotions, that’s what you attract. Use the Law of Attraction to attract money instead of repelling money. Focus on emotional abundance. I must be emotionally abundant if I want to attract financial abundance.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode we look at your identity and why you do what you do. You’ll learn that it doesn’t matter what you think you want and it doesn’t matter what you do because you only create in life what you are. Your identity is created from experiences in your life, then you create an interpretation from those experiences and then you tell yourself a story about it for the rest of your life. So, in order to change your identity, you must first ask “What would be the identity of someone who already has what I want?” Look for someone who already has what you want. Listen to the entire episode to learn about changing your identity! In this episode I discuss: How your identity is formed when you’re a small child How you have created an identity loop and it’s keeping you stuck How to determine what identity you have (hint look at your environment) Discovering your internal barometer What identity do you want?
