Our brain is a record of our past, encapsulating all we've learned and experienced. How our daily recollection of problems, tied to past emotions, keeps us living in the past. The crucial choice between being defined by future aspirations or past memories.
Thinking the same thoughts leads us to make the same choices. Making the same choices leads to demonstrating the same behaviors. Demonstrating the same behaviors leads us to create the same experiences. Creating the same experiences leads us to produce the same emotions. And those same emotions then drive the same thoughts.
We are either being defined either by a vision of the future or by memories of the past.
The initial discomfort of making different choices is a step towards change. The internal voices that argue against change, are often rooted in past conditioning. Believing in these Repetitive Thought Patterns can perpetuate our current state. Transitioning to a new self requires overcoming these mental and emotional barriers.
By cultivating self-awareness, we empower ourselves to deliberately make choices that promote change and personal development.
-Adapted from Joe Dispenza's interview
我们的大脑储存着过去的记录，包含了我们所学习和经历的一切。
我们对日常问题的反应，连结着与过去体验过的情绪，这些情绪驱动着我们的行为，使我们重复着过去的生活。
重复的思想会导致重复的选择。重复的选择会导致重复的行为。重复的行为会导致我们创造重复的经历。创造重复的经历会导致我们产生重复的情绪。而这些情绪随后会再一次驱动相同的思想。
A habit is a behavior that has been repeated enough times to become automatic. James Clear
而这些重复到可以自发地，不需要经过我们的意识而运行的思维或者行为模式，就是习惯。而这些储存在我们潜意识里面的思维习惯往往定义着我们的自我。透过这些习惯，便可以窥见和预测我们的未来人生。
For the most part the greatest habit we have to break is the habit of being ourselves.
Joe Dispenza
而问题的关键是，我们对现在的由过往习惯掌控的生活是否满意？还是有一个理想自我的愿景等待我们实现？
如果说这个世界如同电影《瞬息全宇宙》有着平行宇宙，那么每一个过往的选择造就了我们现在的境况，而我们当下的选择又左右我们未来的人生。
而这个关键的选择，要么基于未来的愿景，要么来自过去的记忆。
我们要么被未来的愿景定义，要么被过去的记忆定义。
做出不同于过去记忆的选择的初期，会让我们感到不适。反对变化的内在声音，往往根植于过去思维模式的条件反射，并随之带来负面的情绪（比如恐惧），阻止我们离开过往的“舒适圈”。
在你决定离开一段让你感到窒息的有毒关系时，你感到的孤独空虚和痛苦。或者是，你决定离开不适合自己的职业轨道时，感到的迷茫和自我怀疑。又或者是，你准备申请一个奖金、职位，或者进行融资时，过去的自我在脑中告诉你没有资格。
相信这些重复的思维模式只会延续我们当前的状态。而过渡到一个新的自我需要克服这些心理和情感的障碍。
在心理学上有一句话，意识到问题就离解决问题不远了。通过冥想等方式的内在功课来培养自我意识，觉察我们的思维、情绪、行为，是一切改变的起点。（关于内在功课： 20231120 内在功课）
When you REACT you are giving away your power. When you RESPOND you are staying in control of yourself. Bob Proctor
而通过重复（比如肯定语、视觉化），在大脑的潜意识中建立并植入自己“未来愿景”或者理想“自我形象”（self-image），再做出基于新的自我形象的选择，就是过去人生坍塌的时刻。
The key to building lasting habits is focusing on creating a new identity first. Your current behaviors are simply a reflection of your current identity. What you do now is a mirror image of the type of person you believe that you are (either consciously or subconsciously). To change your behavior for good, you need to start believing new things about yourself. You need to build identity-based habits. James Clear
于是，我决定努力看到生活中美好的部分，决定拥有冒险的勇气，决定无论如何要保持自信，决定不依照恐惧而是热爱和希望来行事。
Don't ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility. Make decisions based on what should happen, not what shouldn't Michelle Obama
祝你拥有美好丰盛的一周！
