Not choosing.We get into:why most of your behaviors are automatic (and why awareness isn’t enough to change them)what’s actually going on in your brain when you “fall off”the difference between your reactive self vs. the version of you you actually want to beand how to start interrupting that pattern in real timeI also walk through real examples with food, workouts, and relationships so you can actually apply this -- not just understand it.Because once you get this, you stop feeling like you’re out of control…and you start showing up like the person you keep saying you want to be.See you inside 💌xx Laini Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction to Reactive vs. Choosing Behavior 02:51 Understanding Reactions and Regrets 06:12 The Role of Obstacles and Responses 09:01 Patterns, Habits, and Neural Pathways 12:09 Ego vs. Higher Self 14:54 Reflecting and Planning for Change 17:46 Executing New Responses and Identity Transformation 21:07 Transforming Identity Through Choices 27:06 Mindful Eating: Breaking the Guilt Cycle 31:50 Intentional Responses in Relationships 35:29 Aligning Actions with Your Higher Self I talk about this kind of stuff a lot more on IG → @lainijojo
