Your nervous system holds onto an old self-image that sabotages new goals, no matter how motivated you feel. Identity reconditioning rewires that internal image so change actually sticks instead of pulling you back to familiar patterns.
Chapters
Because you do not rise to your goals, you return to your identity. This is the core of New Mind. You will always return to the identity you believe yourself to be. This is why people set goals, make plans, get motivated, and still self-sabotage. They want the new life, but they're still internally organized as the old self. And if your self-image says, I'm not that person, Your nervous system will resist becoming that person. It will pull you back to what is familiar, even if what is familiar is limiting, even if what is familiar is no longer serving you. This is why identity reconditioning is so important.
