How to Become a NEW Person
We’re getting toward the end of the year, and it’s a great opportunity to evaluate where we are and where we’d like to go. On today's episode, Dr. Rick and I explore how we can step out of the way we've been, and into a new way of thinking, doing, and being.
We talk about self-concept, unconscious beliefs, and how those beliefs affect our behavior. I then shares a model of what this kind of change tends to look like practically, which usually includes relax our attachment to the things that are holding us back. Other topics include getting down to "the tip of the root," taking a step back from our narratives, challenging limiting beliefs, taking life less personally, working with discouragement, and finding motivation and drive.
