Navy SEALs—the world's most elite warriors—write and recite daily affirmations. A special kind of affirmations.
Why would they "waste" their time?
When these special operators face life-or-death situations, they need their best behaviors to activate automatically. Their solution? Programming their identity through powerful statements.
What are those statements? Tune in to find out!
University of Pennsylvania research reveals that repeating self-affirmations of this nature that Navy SEALs do physically rewires brain regions associated with identity, creating neural pathways that automatically generate desired behaviors.
This explains why willpower alone often fails us—we're fighting against our deeply held identity rather than changing it at the source.
What area of your life consistently frustrates you?
The solution might not be more information or motivation, but an identity upgrade. Try this Navy SEAL- approved technique will help you shift your automatic behaviors to begin shifting toward your goals without constant struggle.
Change happens in days, not years, when you rewire your identity. What will you program yourself to become?
