The Question That Changes Everything

If you could give everyone in the world a single 30-day experience, what would it be?

Take out a sheet of paper and ask yourself this: Does your environment control your thoughts, or do your thoughts control your environment?

Here’s what neuroscience tells us: 95% of what we do operates on autopilot. The good news? We can reprogram it. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do today.

We’re diving deep into Joe Dispenza’s teachings from his book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, a work I genuinely recommend. But we’re keeping this practical—just tools you can use starting tonight. And let me be clear: we’re not talking about passive law of attraction here. Visualization helps you break free from old patterns, but action is what creates results.

The Cycle That Keeps You Stuck

Think about this morning. Same routine. Same coffee. Same commute. Same people. Same activities. Tonight, you’ll go to bed wondering why nothing in your life ever changes.

Here’s the cycle that traps you:

• Same thoughts → Same choices
• Same choices → Same behaviors
• Same behaviors → Same experiences
• Same experiences → Same emotions
• These emotions reinforce the same thoughts

It’s a perfect vicious cycle. But why is it so powerful?

The Autopilot Reality

Neuroscientists estimate that we’re only conscious of about 5% of our cognitive activity. This means 95% of our decisions, actions, and behaviors happen on autopilot.

This autopilot has been programmed since birth by:

• School
• Society
• Culture
• Family
• Parents
• Past experiences

Your conscious 5% is fighting against these 95%. Guess who wins?

When you decide to change, your body panics. Why? Because change equals the unknown, and the unknown equals danger. So your body tries to pull you back to what’s familiar—even if that familiar state is stress and frustration.

Breaking the Cycle: The Power of Observation

So how do we break this pattern?

Dispenza talks extensively about meditation, but let me clarify something immediately: the goal of meditation is not to have no thoughts. Stop trying to empty your head. That’s not the point.

The real goal is to learn to observe your thoughts with curiosity, without getting swept away by them.

Imagine you’re meditating and a thought arrives: “I have 1,000 things to do. I’m bored.” Instead of fighting that thought, you simply notice it:

“Oh, here’s a thought saying I’m bored. Interesting.”

You observe it without judgment. You feel the tension in your body, you breathe into it, you relax.

The Magic of Becoming the Observer

Here’s what’s magical: As long as you identify with your thoughts, they control you. But when you start observing them, you take back control of your life.

You realize: “Wait, these thoughts are generating fear in me. But realistically, nothing is happening. Everything is fine.”

This is a powerful tool for breaking mental loops: Return to the present moment.

This is what we teach soldiers dealing with PTSD. Look around you. Describe what you see—the color of the walls, the texture, what you see through the window. Become aware that you are here, now. Realize that outside of your thoughts, everything is fine.

Understanding Your Body’s Chemical Addiction

To understand why this is so powerful, you need to understand what happens in your body.

Every time you feel a strong emotion—anger, stress, sadness—your body generates a specific chemical cocktail. Over time, your body becomes addicted to the chemistry of your most frequent emotions.

If you’re used to stress, you’ll create stress. If you’re used to anger, you’ll find reasons to get angry. If you’re used to sadness, you’ll see the world in gray.

It’s exactly like addiction.

The Identity Trap

This goes even deeper: eventually, these emotions fuse with your sense of identity.

You stop feeling anger—you think “I am an angry person.” You stop feeling sadness—you think “I am depressed.”

And here’s how the trap tightens further:

Your habitual emotion attracts thoughts that fuel it. If you’re often stressed, you automatically focus on everything that could go wrong. If you’re often angry, you interpret every situation as an attack.

It’s not you choosing your thoughts—it’s your body justifying its habitual chemistry.

This creates a perfect vicious circle that reinforces itself daily.

The Practical Tools for Change

Tool #1: Observe Your Thoughts

You’re not the program. You’re the consciousness observing the program. This shift in perspective is everything.

Tool #2: Mental Rehearsal and Neuroplasticity

Here’s the process:

Each evening, ask yourself: When did the old version of me take control today? Not to judge yourself, but to learn and understand what triggers your patterns.

Was it an email? A comment? Someone cutting you off?

Instead of just moving on, do this: Close your eyes and visualize yourself in the same situation, but acting differently—the way you wish you had acted.

See yourself staying calm. See yourself responding with perspective.

This is powerful because your brain doesn’t distinguish between an experience you’ve lived and an experience you’ve intensely imagined.

This is the principle of neuroplasticity: neurons that fire together, wire together. When you mentally rehearse your new behavior, you install neural circuits as if you’d actually done it. Your brain shifts from being a recording of the past to becoming a map toward your future.

Tool #3: Emotional Connection to Your Future

Consider elite athletes. A basketball player visualizes the perfect shot hundreds of times in his mind. An entrepreneur launching a business projects himself into success before he even has his first client.

Both of them don’t see the result yet, but they’ve lived it mentally hundreds of times. And that changes everything.

Can you think about your future frequently enough that your brain begins creating neurological circuits as if it already happened?

The science says yes. This is pure neuroplasticity.

Here’s how to do it practically:

Each morning, take 5 minutes. Not to think about your future, but to feel it fully.

Want to be calmer? Feel that peace right now. Want to be more confident? Feel that assurance right now. Want to be free from an addiction? Feel that freedom right now.

By doing this daily, repeatedly, your brain gradually creates new circuits. You start acting differently. Your choices change.

The Crucial Warning About Verification

Here’s a trap: After one week, you’ll want to check—”Where are the results?”

But if you’re asking where the results are, you’ve reverted to your old self. Why? Because the old you wants to see to believe, while the new you believes to see.

It’s like going to the gym. You don’t see results after one week. But if you keep going for 3 months, your body transforms.

Thoughts are the language of the brain. Emotions are the language of the body. When your thoughts and emotions align in the same direction, change becomes inevitable.

The Critical Distinction: Visualization vs. Passive Attraction

I need to be very clear about something important here.

We are NOT talking about passive law of attraction. We’re not talking about visualizing success and waiting for the universe to serve it to you on a silver platter.

Visualization is a tool to help you recondition your perception of yourself and the world. It’s a tool to help you act in alignment with your vision.

When you visualize your success, ask yourself: Who is this person living this success? What does she do daily? How does she act? What are her habits?

These answers should guide you through the steps that will lead you toward success. But there is absolutely no passivity involved.

Aligned Action is Essential

I’ve heard people say: “If you want more money, act like someone who already has money”—implying you should spend more than you can afford. I completely disagree with this interpretation.

Acting like someone with money means acting like someone building wealth. Did this person start a business? Did she save for years? Did she learn budget management? Did she develop valuable skills?

If you dream of being a professional musician, you’re going to need to play an instrument over and over, every single day. If you want to launch your business, you’ll need to learn, test, fail, and try again.

Visualization helps you free yourself from old patterns and the old identity that prevents you from creating the life you aspire to. It opens you to a renewed perception of yourself and life.

But it’s always aligned action that creates the result.

Practical Daily Routine: What Success Looks Like

The hardest part of all this? Simply making the time to do it.

• 10 minutes in the morning: Reconnect to your future
• 5 minutes in the evening: Analyze your day
• The rest of the time: Act in alignment with your new identity

Most people wait for a crisis, trauma, or illness before they truly want to change. Dispenza’s message is simple: Why wait?

You can either learn and change through pain, or learn and change through joy. That choice is yours.

The “Void Phase”: Where Most People Quit

Here’s something important you need to be aware of: Joe Dispenza calls this the “void”—the moment when you’re doing all the work but nothing is happening.

No visible results. No signs. And this is where 99% of people quit.

But Dispenza reminds us that this empty space is where transformation actually happens. You have to keep going. You’re abandoning the old you so the new you can be born, and this process takes time.

Every time you catch yourself falling back into an old pattern and you correct yourself, celebrate that victory. These small wins accumulate day after day until they become your new autopilot, your new default mode.

The MyAffirmPlay Application: A Tool for Daily Practice

To help you practice this daily, my brothers and I created MyAffirmPlay—an app that generates personalized audio files with your affirmations.

You can either write positive affirmations or record your own voice, choose background music, and it generates an audio file ready to listen to. Between each affirmation, there’s silence so you can repeat and truly feel the emotions you want to associate with each affirmation.

Because remember: it’s not mechanical repetition that changes your brain—it’s the emotion you attach to it.

You can listen anywhere—in your car, while exercising, cooking, or before bed. The idea is to reconnect with the person you want to become multiple times daily until it becomes natural.

The 30-Day Challenge: Your Questions

What would I ask everyone to do for 30 days?

I’d ask you to write down every thought you have that blocks the realization of your future. Write down every habit, every behavior, even the way you speak, that prevents you from becoming the healthy, rich, or free person you want to be.

Then write out what the behaviors of that incredible person you want to become look like. Reflect on this, practice visualization, and ask yourself: What emotions will I feel when my future arrives?

Because you need to teach your body emotionally what your future looks like before it arrives.

Each day, if you practice this and become conscious of who you no longer want to be and continue to become conscious of who you want to be, you should start seeing evidence in your life.

Your Daily Practice: A Simple Framework

Morning (5-10 minutes):

1. Close your eyes
2. Connect to the emotion of your future self (joy, confidence, freedom, etc.)
3. Visualize yourself in the future you want to live
4. Align your thoughts and emotions

Evening (5 minutes):

1. Ask yourself: “Where did I fall today? When did I slip back into my old patterns?”
2. Mentally revisit the scene
3. Imagine the way you wish you had acted
4. Again, connect to the emotion you want to integrate

Throughout the day: When you feel your old patterns returning with stress, frustration, anger:

1. Take one minute
2. Breathe deeply
3. Observe what’s around you
4. Return to the present
5. Notice the mental loops and stories feeding the old emotion

It’s simple, but not easy. It demands discipline and consistency. But if you do this for 30 days, I guarantee your life will never be the same. Not because everything around you will have changed, but because you will have changed.

Four Tools Summary

1. Observe your thoughts with curiosity. You’re not the program—you’re the consciousness observing it.

2. Mentally rehearse your new behaviors. Your brain installs neural circuits as if you’d actually done it.

3. Connect emotionally to your future. Feel your future emotionally before it arrives.

4. Act in alignment with your new identity. Action is what creates results.

The Final Challenge

How many people truly believe their way of thinking affects their life?

How many people woke up this morning and consciously created their future?

If you knew without a doubt that this was true, you would never miss a day.

So here’s my question: Describe in the comments the person you choose to become. Sharing this publicly means you’re already making it real.

If this video helped you, like it, comment, share it. Thank you infinitely for watching until the end. Don’t forget to check out MyAffirmPlay in the description. I wish you the very best for your transformation.

Remember: You don’t have to wait for a crisis to change. You can learn and change through joy. The choice is yours.
