INSIGHT

Two States of Being

Humans operate in two states: powerful (positive emotions) and primal (negative emotions).
Your nervous system corresponds to these states, either in relaxation or fight/flight mode.

INSIGHT

Thinking Creates Emotional States

Your thinking causes you to shift into a primal state, not the external experience itself.
The meaning you assign to events drives your emotional state, not the events directly.

INSIGHT

Primal Thoughts Are Untrue

Thoughts that cause primal states are always untrue beliefs, limiting your possibilities.
Your nervous system registers those thoughts as dissonant, triggering stress or anxiety.

In this episode of "A Changed Mind", our host, David Bayer, shares a powerful tool for personal transformation. David introduces the concept of two states of being - powerful and primal - and explains how our thoughts determine which state we're in. David reveals that whenever we're thinking something that doesn't feel good, it's not true.

David provides a three-step process to identify and change limiting beliefs: notice when you've moved into a primal state, examine your thinking, and acknowledge that if it doesn't feel good, it's not true. This practice, which David calls a "living meditation," has helped him overcome addiction, build a successful company, and create a fulfilling life.
