Episode notes

Self-sabotage is when your brain tries to reconcile who you are and what you're doing. It's insidious; it goes without even noticing it, says author David Perry. The second that you actually overcome these efforts that your brain is throwing at you - that's when you start to grow a new identity.

Brian Ford is the founder and host of the Self Improvement Daily Podcast, where he has shared 3 minute personal development insights for over 4 years to hundreds of thousands of people.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. You are in control of your destiny. You can shape your reality through your choices every single day.

2. Consistency relates back into the subconscious when you engage in a certain intentional conscious behaviors, you are building a new identity one action at a time, and become a person that operates by default in a way that you want to.

3. Self-sabotage is the subconscious force that’s trying to keep things how they are. It is an absolute beast. It’s all about making the unconscious conscious because with awareness comes choice. And that’s where freedom and opportunity lies.
