Breaking Free from the Two-Week Trap

Episode Overview

  • Consistency is not about discipline but about subconscious programming.
  • The nervous system can resist change to protect from perceived threats.
  • Aligning internal beliefs with goals is crucial for lasting change.
  • Self-awareness helps identify subconscious blocks to consistency.
  • Small, manageable steps can lead to significant transformations.
"You are consistent; you're just consistent with what feels safe."
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of breaking free from emotional abuse and the struggle to maintain new habits beyond the infamous two-week mark. Allison K. Dagney, a certified Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach, tackles the common belief that sticking to new resolutions is a matter of discipline. She flips this notion on its head by revealing that the real culprit is often an overloaded nervous system.
With a touch of humour, she compares the subconscious mind to an outdated operating system—stubbornly running old programs unless reprogrammed. Allison shares stories from her community, illustrating how individuals misinterpret their inability to maintain consistency as a personal flaw, when in reality, it's a protective mechanism of the nervous system. She offers practical advice on aligning your internal world with external goals, emphasising that consistency isn't a personality trait but a learned behaviour influenced by subconscious beliefs.
Listeners will find solace in knowing they're not alone in their struggles and that it's not about pushing harder but understanding deeper. With relatable anecdotes and actionable insights, Allison guides you through the process of creating lasting change without overwhelming yourself. So, if you're tired of the two-week trap and ready for real transformation, this episode might just be your lightbulb moment.
