How to Break Bad Habits | Mitesh Khatri | NLP Technique

Today we are talking about how to quit bad habits in just 10 minutes. Yes, all our bad habits are wired in our subconscious brain like a neurological habit. Do you know that our brain has neurons, and these neurons, when connect to each other, they create a habit? So whether it's good habits or bad habits, they're based on our neurological connections in our brain. Now we teach a course called NLP, which is called as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, where you can actually rewire your brain and stop bad habits in just a few minutes. Sounds crazy, right? But let me show you exactly how to do it, and I will show you a live case study of somebody whom I practiced it with. Ready? Let's go. Those of you who are meeting me for the first time, my name is Mitesh Khatri. I and my wife Indu Khatri, we are Law of Attraction coaches and national best-selling authors of this book, The Law of Attraction. Let's learn how do you quit bad habits. Now, bad habits can be quit by making sure that the habit that you are associated with right now— let's say for an example, you're eating pizza and you're eating too much pizza. Now, why are you eating pizza in spite of knowing that it's bad for you? There is a person whom I was coaching once. He was having one medium pizza every day. Imagine, one medium Domino's pizza every day, double cheese. He was just putting on weight and putting on weight and putting on weight. Do you think he was guilty? Yes, he was. Do you think he was regretting after eating? Yes, he was. Do you think he was planning, I will not do it today? Yes, he was, but he was not able to control himself. Why? Because in our brain, once you have a connection between 2 neurons, it's like an electricity current that runs without your permission. That's what we call as a habit in the brain. Now, we can break this habit. The science behind that is very simple. You need to stop feeling good about that habit. If you observe right now, even though this is a bad habit, the reason he's having that pizza is because eating the pizza feels good. Here is how human brain is wired, by the way. We move towards pleasure and we move away from pain. I'll explain again. We move towards pleasure, we move away from pain. Which means if we are getting pleasure from eating something unhealthy, even though we know logically it's not good for us, we will move towards it because our brain wants it. Because it's pleasure. Now, if something is good for us, but if our brain associates pain with that, we will move away from it, even if it is good for us. Here is the best part. Do you know that our brain is so powerful that if you don't use the brain correctly, our brain has the capacity to feel good about bad things? Yes. Things like smoking, drinking, overeating, eating bad things. These are actually unhealthy things, but our brain has the ability To associate lots of pleasure with them if you tune your brain correctly with that. There are people who've got into bad habits, and you know that, don't you? That's because their brain associates pleasure with negative things in life. But the brain is also so powerful that we can associate negative pain, which means we can feel painful about something which is very good. Example, exercising, eating salad, eating fruits, walking. A lot of people have Negative association, painful emotional experiences connecting to good things. That's why many times when we when you ask people asking salad, खाओगे? They're like salad. नहीं यार कुछ अच्छा खिलाओ. See, that's because they associate negativity to salad. In my life, once I mastered the ability to control pain and pleasure, I took control of my brain. That's the power that NLP gave me. So today, I want to give you a demo of a person with whom I worked on exactly this thing: pizza. And how I was able to rewire their brain to feel bad about pizza instead of feel good about pizza. Now you can do this not just with pizza, you can do this with almost any exercise. I've been able to help people with gutka, quit smoking. I personally was a smoker, by the way, once upon a time. I used this technique and a combination of some other NLP techniques to quit smoking myself, and after that I have never smoked again in my life. Why? Because now my brain associates Smoking as not just logically unhealthy, but at an emotional experience, I feel I can't handle it anymore. Now that emotional experience is what you need to learn how to rewire in your brain. And then I want you to tell me if you're going to use this technique to change some of your own personal habits. Ready? Let's go. So at this point of time, you're— even though we haven't started the exercise yet, just by saying the word pizza, 1 to 10, what's the craving you said?

10.

10. That means you really like pizza, right?

Yes.

Are you sure you want to do this exercise?

Yes.

Are you sure? Because once I do it, you're not going to be able to like eating pizza for a long time.

Okay, okay, good.

Now the reason I do this is to get permission from your subconscious mind, because then it has to be healthy conversation. Unhealthy would be where the person's mind is not ready to do it. Okay, so this is always important when you do like-dislike or dislike-to-like. Which pizza comes to your mind when I say pizza? Does it— is it Domino's? Is it Pizza Hut? Is it a homemade pizza?

Domino's.

Domino's. Which particular Domino's pizza?

Farm Fresh.

Farm Fresh. Okay, so you know exactly which pizza. Is it the, the, the, the usual pan, or is it thin crust? Is it double crust?

Thin crust.

Cheese burst? Thin crust. Okay, so is it wheat?

No, madam.

Normal thin crust, not the wheat.

Okay.

And now let's understand, at this point of time, let's say it is 10. If you had to increase the rating of having pizza— by the way, instead of me working alone with her, how many of you are willing to work with me? So just write down on your notepads what is the current level of temptation that you have for eating pizza. Now, for some of you it may be 5, and that's okay. But for her it is— for argument's sake, let's not put it at 10 right now. Let's put it at, let's say, 8. तो दैट वी कैन प्ले बिटवीन है, वन टू टेन। इज़ दैट ओके? नहीं है? ओके। सो नया, लेट्स से वी वांट टू मेक इट फ्रॉम एट टू नाइन। व्हाट चेंजेस कैन यू मेक तू दिस पिज़्ज़ा? एंड हियर इज़ द बेस्ट पार्ट। बिकॉज़ इट्स योर पिज़्ज़ा, यू कैन मेक चेंजेस तू द पिज़्ज़ How can you do it? Tell me, what changes would you make?

Uh, I want to add mushrooms, lots of cheese, capsicum, and lots of onions, tomatoes. And I want to sit here and have a Coke with it.

So you don't mind the same place?

Yeah, I can.

So thin crust, medium size, or personal?

Medium size.

Medium size and lots of mushrooms, lots of cheese, lots of capsicum, lots of tomatoes, and the Coke next to it,

and

onions. And would you like it hot or medium hot or cold?

Hot. Hot.

Hot. Okay, so it's just steaming hot, right? Came out of the door right now. Okay, done.

You can serve garlic bread also.

Okay, done. So let's imagine the garlic bread's on the side. What is the temptation right now? 8 or 9?

9. Yeah,

I can see that in your face right now. Let's make it 10. What can you do to make it 10, to make it more special, like that you would feel like just grabbing a bite right now?

Make it extra soft, like mouth-melting.

Okay, so you like that way. So you like the cheese melting?

Yeah.

Okay, so imagine there's extra cheese melting, and when you're having the first bite, it's kind of pulling. It's that soft. Okay, so what is it right now, 9 or 10?

10.

10. Okay, good. So here's the best part now. Now your brain knows that it works. How do I know it works? Because I'm not going against your brain, I'm going in favor of your brain, which means I'm not removing the habit, I'm just making the habit more important, going from 8 to 9, 9 to 10. So now your brain knows it's possible. Okay, now let's reverse it. I want you to reverse the pizza from 10 to 9 by removing the softness of it. And make it a crispy thin crust pizza again.

Okay.

Back to nine.

Yeah.

Okay. Now let's remove the extra mushrooms. Let's remove the extra cheese. Let's remove the coke. Let's remove the the garlic bread. But is the farm fresh pizza little warm, not too hot? Now imagine it.

Seven.

Okay, so it's gone down to seven immediately. Okay, now I want you to make some changes to the pizza that it goes down to six. Your changes, you decide. To the pizza, surrounding of the pizza, choice of the pizza, anything you can. You can add something to it. You can remove something from it. You can be with someone. You can change the surrounding. Whatever you want. You're the director of the movie.

Okay, you can add mushrooms.

No, I want you to reduce, not increase.

Remove something.

Seven. I want you to remove. Go to six.

Remove onions also.

So what's there on the pizza now?

Which we need the capsicum here only.

Capsicum, tomatoes, and no onion. So just capsicum and tomato. Single layer cheese. Thin crust but crispy, not soft. Warm, not hot. No garlic bread. No Coke. No mushroom. No cheese. Now imagine the pizza and no onion. Where is it now?

4.

4? So instead of 6, you went down to 4. Okay, what changes can you make to the pizza to go from 4 to 3?

It's just cheese. You remove—

Plain cheese pizza. Okay, so imagine it's just plain cheese pizza and there's no vegetables at all, and it's thin crust but warm, not hot. And there's no garlic bread, there's no mushrooms, there's no cheese, there's no Coke, and it's just plain cheese pizza.

I don't want to eat.

So it's gone down what from four?

One.

One. Okay. Now I'd like you to take it to zero. What changes can you make to make it zero?

What I know. ले जाओ पिज़्ज़ा.

हाँ but the pizza is still there. I want you to make the temptation to zero. What changes can you make to it?

Just remove the cheese leftover cheese also.

Okay, so can I suggest some changes?

Is that okay? All right.

So I want you to imagine that the cheese is old and stale. It's becoming yellow. Now imagine having a bite of it.

Disgusting.

Disgusting. Okay. Now. I want you to imagine that the cheese on the top also has a layer of curd on it.

The heat.

Now imagine having a bite of it.

I'm not gonna— this feels—

now I want you to close your eyes and imagine you had a bite irrelevant of that. Close your eyes. Hold your hands physically in front of you as if you're taking a bite of that pizza, which is cheese, cold, Old with curd on it. Now take take a bite, and imagine when you bit something was in your mouth, and when you removed you realized it's the hair of a cockroach.

And

that was the cockroach that was there, and what you juicy you felt in the mouth was the blood of the cockroach that went in your mouth, not the cheese. And now imagine the cheese, and suddenly you realize that the the reason the curd was there because there were minute cockroaches hidden below it. Imagine the pizza and see how do you feel? Okay, now let's so what is it on a level of one to ten? What is where is it right now? Like minus one, minus two. Where is it?

Chapati and aloo sabji.

And now imagine going for pizza at Domino's and imagine how it feels. What is the temptation?

I will eat my own food, my homemade

food. Not interested in the pizza anymore. Try to bring the temptation back. See if it works.

I

don't feel good. See, I've programmed your brain to not like pizza, something that you loved so much that post-lunch— right now we just took a break from lunch, and when I asked you pizza, you said 10. That means that is how much you love pizza. But in spite of that, now you're not able to bring the temptation back because all emotions are lies. Yeah, all emotions are lies. Now here is a question. Imagine if I can take a 20-year-old habit and make it as bad as it is right now, from good, from liking it to disliking it. What can you do to a bad memory? What can you do to a bad habit?

I can leave that like

this. All you need to do is change the way you feel about it. Do you realize the impact of it on you? Because only you can Emotionally understand what you're feeling right now.

Yeah, I can seriously. I can even मतलब मैं dinner खाने के बाद भी pizza खा सकती हूँ। इतना मेरा को रहता था और अभी मैं नहीं खाऊँगी।

Awesome congratulations. All right, did you love that? Wasn't that amazing? It was so quick and it was so fast. And did you realize how people when I now in the end of it said pizza, they're like can't handle it now. But that's because Our brain can associate positive or negative things to anything, to anybody, if you know how to guide the brain. That is the science of NLP.
