On this episode Brian explores the concept of personal choice and responsibility in self-development and life circumstances.

Key Takeaways:

  • Many people live on autopilot, driven by unconscious conditioning and survival mechanisms rather than conscious choices
  • Choosing oneself involves taking responsibility, prioritizing personal needs, and creating healthy boundaries
  • Unlearning conditioned behaviors and healing work are crucial for authentic self-choice and empowerment
  • Questioning everything is a powerful tool for personal growth and conscious living

The Unconscious Autopilot:

  • Majority of people live unconsciously, driven by survival mechanisms
  • Choices often stem from childhood conditioning, cultural/religious programming, and emotional baggage
  • Unconscious living leads to decisions being made by protective mechanisms rather than conscious choice

The Importance of Presence and Self-Awareness:

  • Being present is crucial for conscious decision-making
  • Healing work helps distinguish between conditioning and authentic self
  • Understanding one's own conditioning is key to following genuine intuition

Choosing Oneself:

  • Taking responsibility for one's life and choices is empowering
  • Recognizing inner resources and self-sufficiency ("I am more than enough")
  • Creating healthy boundaries and prioritizing personal needs

Practical Steps for Self-Choice:

  • Engage in unlearning and healing work
  • Focus on the present moment and current version of self
  • Question everything, including thoughts and feelings
  • Practice being as conscious as possible in daily life

Benefits of Choosing Oneself:

  • Increased authenticity and alignment with true self
  • Better ability to show up for others in life
  • Greater freedom from conditioning and limiting beliefs

Next Steps

  • Reflect on personal decision-making patterns: conscious choice or autopilot?
  • Identify areas of life where victim mentality may be present
  • Explore healing modalities or practices that resonate for personal growth
