This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes from Cynthia.
I attended your last event, where you taught us all weekend about changing our consciousness and our self-image. But when I go back to my regular life on Monday, I’m surrounded by the same people, the same environment, the same problems. How do I maintain this new level of consciousness when I’m back in my old reality? Won’t I just slip back into old patterns?
You WILL slip back if you don’t have a daily practice that keeps you anchored in the new consciousness.
This is why most people leave seminars feeling amazing, and then three weeks later, they’re right back where they started. They don’t have a structure that supports the change.
You need a daily practice. Non-negotiable. Every single day.
What does that look like? First thing in the morning, before you do anything else, you spend time with your vision. You read your goals. You visualize the person you’re becoming. You get into the feeling state of already being that person.
You don’t check your phone. You don’t check email. You don’t jump into putting out fires. You anchor yourself in the new consciousness first.
Then, throughout the day, you catch yourself when you slip into old patterns. And you will slip. That’s normal. But you catch it faster now because you’re aware. And you choose the new pattern instead.
And at night, before you go to sleep, you review your day. What did I do well? Where did I slip? What am I going to do differently tomorrow?
That’s the daily practice. And here’s the thing: the environment doesn’t determine your consciousness. Your consciousness determines how you experience the environment.
Same people, same problems—but you’re different. So your response is different. And when your response is different, the results are different.
But you have to practice it daily. You can’t do it once a week and expect it to stick. Daily practice is what makes the change permanent.
