Breaking the habit of being yourself
Description
Book Introduction
“How can we expect a different tomorrow when we live today like yesterday?
When you break the habits that have become yours
Only then can I create a new me, a new future, and a new destiny.”
"Break the Habit of You" is a revised and revised version of "Breaking (Prem)" published in 2012. It explains how you can create the future you want based on the latest scientific theories such as quantum physics, neuroscience, and epigenetics. Furthermore, it provides a systematic practical manual for breaking free from the past habits that have become your identity and becoming a new you, and it provides a 4-week meditation program that anyone can follow.
In Part 1 of "Break the Habit of Being You," the author uses quantum physics to explain the nature of reality, scientifically proving that the reason we find it difficult to change is related to the classical physics view of environment, body, and time (which the author calls the "big three"), and that by transcending these "big three," we can create a new self.
Part 2 details the brain's functions and structures that enable change, and the power of meditation to change the brain's state and build new neural circuits.
And in Part 3, we will guide you through a four-week meditation program, week by week, to help you create the life you want by becoming a new you based on the knowledge you learned in Parts 1 and 2.
If you consistently practice the formula for change contained in this book, you will no longer be a victim of fate, but will become the creator of your own destiny.

Into the book
-Many people are ruled solely by their body and how it feels, and as a result, their body 'becomes' their mind.
So, just as the observer influences the outcome, not only the brain but also the body influences the material.
This is your state of being (when mind and body are one) influencing the external world as an observer.
-You may think about wanting to be rich, but if you feel poor, you cannot attract financial abundance.
Why is that? Because thoughts are the language of the brain, and feelings are the language of the body.
You think this way and feel that way at the same time.
When the mind and body move in opposite directions, the quantum field will never respond consistently.
When our mind and body work together, when our thoughts and feelings are aligned, when we are in a new state of being, only then do we begin to send out coherent signals.
-The key question is this.
"Why don't we send out signals that will bring about positive outcomes?" How can we send signals that align with what we want to achieve in life? If we firmly believe that by choosing which thoughts (signals) to send out, we can create outcomes we can observe but not predict, we will change.
-At the subatomic level, energy becomes matter in response to the observer's attention.
How would life change if we learned to deal with the observer effect and collapse the infinite probability waves to create the reality we choose? Wouldn't we be better able to create the lives we desire? (...) If subatomic particles can exist in an infinite number of places simultaneously, we could potentially create an infinite number of possible realities.
If you imagine any future you desire, that reality already exists as a possibility in the quantum field, waiting to be observed by you.
If the mind can influence the emergence of electrons, then theoretically the mind can influence the emergence of any possibility.
---From Chapter 1
-Most people focus on three things in life: their environment, their body, and their time.
People don't just focus on these three things.
I identify myself with it.
To break free from the habits that have become our own, we must think bigger than our life circumstances, grow beyond the feelings stored in our bodies, and live in a new timeline.
If you want to change, you must have an ideal self-image in your head that is better than your current 'self' that exists in a specific environment, body, and time.
-The quantum model of reality tells us that to transform our lives, we must fundamentally change the way we think, act, and feel.
I need to change my state of being.
Because the way I think, feel, and act essentially creates my personality.
It is my personality that creates my personal reality.
Therefore, to create a new personal reality, a new life, one must create a new personality.
We have to be someone else.
Ultimately, change means thinking and acting bigger than my current situation and environment.
---From Chapter 2
-If we keep thinking the same thoughts, feeling the same emotions, and thinking the same thoughts again in response to those feelings, we will store that state of being in our memory and absolutely accept that we are always that kind of person.
This means that this state of existence is what defines oneself.
Thoughts and feelings have become one lump.
-If feelings become a means of thought, or if we cannot think bigger than our feelings, we can never change.
To change means to think bigger than you feel.
Also, to change means to act on something bigger than the familiar feeling of the remembered self.
-In this book, we will learn how to enter the subconscious mind and reprogram it.
As a result, we will unlearn or unwire old patterns of thinking and feeling and relearn or rewire new patterns of thinking and feeling that align with who we want to be.
When you train your body to a new mind, these two no longer work in opposition but in harmony.
This is the core of change and self-creation.
---From Chapter 3
-You may have had the experience of thinking bigger than your own environment, body, and time (the big three).
Some people describe these moments that transcend the Big Three as "flow."
There are many ways to describe what happens when you lose all sense of your environment, your body, and the passage of time, and you become unable to perceive anything around you.
(……) When we are completely absorbed in what we are doing or when we are so relaxed and relaxed that it seems as if we have entered an altered state of consciousness (……) When we can easily reach this moment of immersion by going beyond the Big Three, we can let go of our old mind and create a new mind.
---From Chapter 4
-Life in survival mode is why we can't escape the Big Three.
The stress response and hormones triggered by survival mode make us obsessed with our bodies, our environment, and time.
As a result, we limit ourselves to material and physical beings, becoming less spiritual and less conscious.
In other words, we become 'materialists'.
We tend to habitually think only about things in our external environment.
Our identity is confined within our bodies.
Chemicals released within the body send signals to the outside world to pay attention.
What we own, who we know, places we go, problems we face, hairstyles we dislike, body parts we have, how we weigh, how we compare to others, the time we have… … we remember our identity based on what we know and what we do.
-Living a creative life means living as a 'nobody'.
Have you ever been so immersed in something that you lost yourself in it? In that moment of immersion, you detach from the world you already know.
I am no longer a 'someone' associated with the things I own, the people I know, the things I do, the places I lived in at a certain time.
We could say that when we are in a creative state, we forget the habits that make up our 'self'.
It is about abandoning the selfish ego and becoming a state of ‘self-less.’
-When you move from survival emotions to heightened emotions (……) when anger, shame, and desire are released from the body, that energy is transformed into joy, love, and gratitude.
As we radiate higher and higher energies, our bodies (which we have trained to be mind-like) become less 'mind-like' and more coherent in their energy, and the matter that makes up our bodies vibrates at higher and higher frequencies.
And we feel connected to something bigger.
In short, our divine nature is increasingly revealed.
---From Chapter 5
-Now let's talk about the wonderful gift evolution has given us: the ability to go directly from "thinking" to "becoming" without taking any physical action.
We can create new states of being before we even have material experiences.
For example, if we have a sexual fantasy, we already internally experience all the thoughts, feelings, and actions we expect from our partner.
When you are immersed in a mental experience, your body chemically changes and reacts as if the future event has already happened.
You have entered a new state of existence.
But how long can this state of being last? Can you become who you want to be simply by "thinking" and "feeling"? Can you create and live the reality of your own choosing? This is where meditation becomes necessary.
Through meditation, we can transform our brain, our body, and our state of being.
The most important thing is that these changes can be created without any physical action or interaction with the external environment.
We can install new neural hardware through meditation.
Just as pianists create change through mere mental demonstrations.
---From Chapter 6
Meditation allows us to peel back the layers of our emotions and take off the masks we wear.
All these things have blocked the flow of great intelligence within us.
If we take these off, we will become transparent.
When the visible me is the real me, we become transparent.
When the gap between the ego disappears like this, we experience a state of gratitude, a state of heightened joy.
I believe this is our natural state of being.
By doing this, we can move beyond the past and look toward the future.
---From Chapter 7
-There are various meditation techniques.
I hope you find a meditation method that works best for you, one that allows you to enter the workings of your subconscious mind and "observe" your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and emotions without getting lost in them, thereby subconsciously reprogramming your brain and body to fit your new mind.
If we can consciously control our thoughts, beliefs, actions, and emotions, rather than thinking, acting, and reacting unconsciously, we can release the chains of our 'old self' and become a new self.
-The meditation process, in a word, is about breaking the habits that have become oneself and creating a new self, letting go of the old mind and creating a new mind, cutting out old synaptic connections and creating new networks, erasing past emotions from memory and taming the body with new mind and emotions, and letting go of the past and creating a new future.
---From Chapter 8
-When our actions and intentions are in sync, when our actions and thoughts are the same, when we become a new self, then we are ahead of our time.
As time passes, the environment no longer has control over my thoughts and feelings.
The way I feel and think governs my environment.
This is greatness.
This greatness has always been within us.
-If feedback comes in a predictable or expected way, it's not new at all.
Resist the temptation to say that something new and unexpected comes from something you are already familiar with.
When a new life unfolds, you should be surprised and not even aware of it.
Not because of what happened to us, but because of how it happened.
How far can we go? This adventure has no end.
The only things that limit us are the questions we ask, the knowledge we receive, and our ability to open our minds and hearts.
So, just as the observer influences the outcome, not only the brain but also the body influences the material.
This is your state of being (when mind and body are one) influencing the external world as an observer.
-You may think about wanting to be rich, but if you feel poor, you cannot attract financial abundance.
Why is that? Because thoughts are the language of the brain, and feelings are the language of the body.

Publisher's Review
Break the habit of being yourself - how to break free from the same old life and become the master of your destiny.
Aren't you living the same life as yesterday, hoping for a different tomorrow? Every morning, you wake up in the same spot, eat the same breakfast, wear the same clothes, and walk to work along the same familiar route.
You do the same old, familiar things, your familiar coworkers push your emotional buttons just like yesterday, and you react just like you always did.
And those feelings bring back the same thoughts as yesterday.
After work, I go home, eat like I always do, watch TV or use my phone, and then go to bed.
If you repeat the same thoughts, the same feelings, and the same actions, it becomes a habit, and once it becomes a habit, your body moves unconsciously.
Once you get used to driving, your body will drive on its own even if your head is thinking about something else.
The body becomes the master and rules the mind.
This is why no matter how much you affirm and think positively, your life doesn't change.
If you really want to change your reality, you have to change not only how you think, but how you feel and how you act.
You must break the unconscious body reactions that have become habits and train your body to a new mind, that is, to the image of your ideal self.
This is the core of change and self-creation.
This book explains how you can create the future you want based on the latest scientific theories, including quantum physics, neuroscience, and epigenetics. Furthermore, it provides a systematic practical manual for breaking free from the habits of the past that have become your identity and becoming a new you, offering a four-week meditation program that anyone can follow.
In Part 1 of this book, the author explains the nature of reality based on quantum physics, and scientifically reveals that the reason we find it difficult to change is related to the classical physics view of environment, body, and time (which the author calls the "big three"), and therefore, when we go beyond these "big three," we can create a new self.
Part 2 details the brain's functions and structures that enable change, and the power of meditation to change the brain's state and build new neural circuits.
And in Part 3, we will guide you through a four-week meditation program, week by week, to help you create the life you want by becoming a new you based on the knowledge you learned in Parts 1 and 2.
If you consistently practice the formula for change contained in this book, you will no longer be a victim of fate, but will become the creator of your own destiny.
Why is change so difficult?
Most of us live in 'survival mode', distracted by the Big Three: environment, body, and time.
The thoughts and feelings that are bound to the Big Three are the biggest obstacles to change.
Let's look at them one by one.
'Environment' includes not only the human relationships, workplace, and work that surround us, but also our 'memories' of specific experiences, people, and things, and the actions and behaviors we have repeatedly performed.
All of these memories are stored in the synapses of the brain and are activated by various stimuli in life.
And according to Hebb's law, which states that "nerve cells that are activated together strengthen their connections," the more frequently we repeat thoughts, actions, and feelings, the more they become automatic and unconscious habits.
This makes it much easier and more natural to reproduce the same mind than to create a new one, and as a result, we end up creating only familiar futures that fit our familiar state of mind.
Just as a person who always brushes their teeth with their right hand suddenly tries to brush with their left hand and finds it uncomfortable and awkward, they quickly move the toothbrush to their right hand, we too are trapped in a box called a 'fixed brain circuit'.
Another obstacle we have to overcome is the ‘body’.
Let's say you've suffered through some difficult experiences in your life, and you've been thinking about them for a long time and feeling the pain repeatedly.
You no longer need to deliberately recall past events to create that feeling.
Because it would have become impossible to feel differently than you always did.
If you keep repeating the same thoughts and feelings, your body becomes conditioned to remember the feeling of pain without conscious thought.
When that feeling feels natural and normal, it now becomes our identity.
So when we try something different or break out of our usual state of being, our body says, 'You're so tired today.
You can start this tomorrow.
From 'Something feels off' to 'You're a mess and a loser.
Your life is a failure.
You never change.
You look so much like your mom… …', we often give in to the countless reasons why we shouldn't change.
The last obstacle to change that we must overcome is ‘time.’
We always live our lives recalling past events or anticipating future events.
However, because our brain cannot distinguish between thoughts and reality, whatever we think or feel, it accepts those events as happening in the present moment and reacts accordingly.
This can be easily understood if you think about the phenomenon in which your mouth waters as soon as you think of food.
If you have had a traumatic experience in the past, simply seeing someone who looks similar or returning to that place can trigger physical and emotional reactions, even without any actual trigger.
This is a response that is triggered automatically before we even notice it, making it difficult to control with the conscious mind.
In this state, the conscious mind may be in the present, but the subconscious body is living in the past.
In this state, it is difficult for new things to happen because we predict all future events based on past memories.
How to overcome the Big Three (environment, body, time)?
To break free from the habits that have become our own, we must think bigger than the 'circumstances' of our lives, grow bigger than the feelings stored in our 'body', and live in a new 'timeline' rather than a remembered past and a predictable future.
If we want to change, we must cultivate an ideal self-image that is better than our current "self" existing in a specific environment, body, and time, break emotional addictions based on the past, and feel as if the future life we dream of has already happened.
When we transcend our environment, our body, and our time and enter a state of 'immersion,' that is where creation takes place.
Once you reach this state, you can reprogram your body to follow your mind.
So how can we enter a state of immersion?
The author suggests meditation as a training method.
We can create a consistent brain wave state through conscious training (meditation). This means that the high beta waves that occur when we focus on the Big Three can be changed into a more consistent alpha or theta wave state through meditation.
In this brainwave state, the body no longer dominates the mind, because the inner environment feels much more vivid than the external environment (the Big Three).
At this time, we can dream freely, change the programs in our subconscious, and access all the possibilities that exist within the quantum field, creating our desired reality without any interference.
We will no longer be swayed by the chaotic stimuli of the external environment, nor will we fall back into the familiar patterns of the past that hold us back.
It is about overcoming the Big Three.
When we reach a state of immersion where the sensations of the five senses disappear, it becomes easier to attract heightened emotions such as compassion, joy, love, and gratitude.
This is because these emotions themselves have very consistent wavelengths.
If we can maintain this inner consistency, something different will begin to appear in our lives: synchronicity, opportunity, coincidence, natural flow, health, insight, mystical experiences, new relationships.
Endless adventure—there are no limits to what you can achieve.
The author has already taught the "4-Week Meditation for a New You" program in this book to countless people around the world, and continues to hear amazing stories from those who have consistently implemented it and achieved transformation.
For example, Pamela, who had not received child support from her unemployed ex-husband, had been struggling financially for two years.
Grieved by despair, anger, and a sense of victimhood, she constantly reacted negatively, even in situations unrelated to child support.
After attending the author's seminar, she realized she needed to break free from her negative emotions and began meditating, letting go of her past-related emotions and survival-focused state of being, while giving them over to a greater consciousness.
She felt great joy and gratitude, and wished for prosperity not only for herself but for everyone.
When she finished meditating, she was a different person.
And soon, results befitting her new self began to appear.
During the seminar, the online promotion of the business was very successful, and not only did I earn close to $10,000, but three days later, I received the welcome news that my ex-husband had sent me $22,000 in overdue child support.
Letting go of the old energy, the immense energy it was holding onto is released and reality is recreated.
Monique, who also works as a therapist, has lived most of her adult life with an unconscious sense of deficiency.
There wasn't enough money, energy, or time to do what I wanted.
When she began meditating, she was struggling with skyrocketing office rent, clients leaving due to the recession, and her son's college tuition that she couldn't afford.
In meditation, she reflected on her past choices and realized that she had always blamed external circumstances for her shortcomings.
Determined to change her personality, Monique imagined herself as someone with an abundance of energy, time, and money.
And I started living my life with a new perspective of myself.
Then one day, after hearing from a client about her parents buying lottery tickets every month, she stopped by a gas station on her way home from work and saw lottery tickets displayed on the counter.
She thought it was foolish to buy a lottery ticket when she was not well off, but she thought that her new self, who was living a comfortable life, could afford to make a bet like this, so she bought a lottery ticket.
And that evening, I won the $53,000 lottery.
It was just enough money to pay off the debts her husband and I had.
Monique imagined a new version of herself and put it into action.
It was a completely different behavior than before.
This isn't just a story that's possible for a few people.
The four-week "Becoming a New You" meditation program presented in this book will help anyone rewire their brains to realize creativity and happiness.
If they, ordinary people, can do it, you can too.
There is no limit to what a consistent state of being—thought-feeling-action—can achieve.
I hope that through consistent meditation, you too can challenge yourself to reach infinite possibilities.
Aren't you living the same life as yesterday, hoping for a different tomorrow? Every morning, you wake up in the same spot, eat the same breakfast, wear the same clothes, and walk to work along the same familiar route.
You do the same old, familiar things, your familiar coworkers push your emotional buttons just like yesterday, and you react just like you always did.
And those feelings bring back the same thoughts as yesterday.
After work, I go home, eat like I always do, watch TV or use my phone, and then go to bed.
If you repeat the same thoughts, the same feelings, and the same actions, it becomes a habit, and once it becomes a habit, your body moves unconsciously.
Once you get used to driving, your body will drive on its own even if your head is thinking about something else.
The body becomes the master and rules the mind.
This is why no matter how much you affirm and think positively, your life doesn't change.
If you really want to change your reality, you have to change not only how you think, but how you feel and how you act.
You must break the unconscious body reactions that have become habits and train your body to a new mind, that is, to the image of your ideal self.
This is the core of change and self-creation.
This book explains how you can create the future you want based on the latest scientific theories, including quantum physics, neuroscience, and epigenetics. Furthermore, it provides a systematic practical manual for breaking free from the habits of the past that have become your identity and becoming a new you, offering a four-week meditation program that anyone can follow.
In Part 1 of this book, the author explains the nature of reality based on quantum physics, and scientifically reveals that the reason we find it difficult to change is related to the classical physics view of environment, body, and time (which the author calls the "big three"), and therefore, when we go beyond these "big three," we can create a new self.
Part 2 details the brain's functions and structures that enable change, and the power of meditation to change the brain's state and build new neural circuits.
And in Part 3, we will guide you through a four-week meditation program, week by week, to help you create the life you want by becoming a new you based on the knowledge you learned in Parts 1 and 2.
If you consistently practice the formula for change contained in this book, you will no longer be a victim of fate, but will become the creator of your own destiny.
Why is change so difficult?
Most of us live in 'survival mode', distracted by the Big Three: environment, body, and time.
The thoughts and feelings that are bound to the Big Three are the biggest obstacles to change.
Let's look at them one by one.
'Environment' includes not only the human relationships, workplace, and work that surround us, but also our 'memories' of specific experiences, people, and things, and the actions and behaviors we have repeatedly performed.
All of these memories are stored in the synapses of the brain and are activated by various stimuli in life.
And according to Hebb's law, which states that "nerve cells that are activated together strengthen their connections," the more frequently we repeat thoughts, actions, and feelings, the more they become automatic and unconscious habits.
This makes it much easier and more natural to reproduce the same mind than to create a new one, and as a result, we end up creating only familiar futures that fit our familiar state of mind.
Just as a person who always brushes their teeth with their right hand suddenly tries to brush with their left hand and finds it uncomfortable and awkward, they quickly move the toothbrush to their right hand, we too are trapped in a box called a 'fixed brain circuit'.
Another obstacle we have to overcome is the ‘body’.
Let's say you've suffered through some difficult experiences in your life, and you've been thinking about them for a long time and feeling the pain repeatedly.
You no longer need to deliberately recall past events to create that feeling.
Because it would have become impossible to feel differently than you always did.
If you keep repeating the same thoughts and feelings, your body becomes conditioned to remember the feeling of pain without conscious thought.
When that feeling feels natural and normal, it now becomes our identity.
So when we try something different or break out of our usual state of being, our body says, 'You're so tired today.
You can start this tomorrow.
From 'Something feels off' to 'You're a mess and a loser.
Your life is a failure.
You never change.
You look so much like your mom… …', we often give in to the countless reasons why we shouldn't change.
The last obstacle to change that we must overcome is ‘time.’
We always live our lives recalling past events or anticipating future events.
However, because our brain cannot distinguish between thoughts and reality, whatever we think or feel, it accepts those events as happening in the present moment and reacts accordingly.
This can be easily understood if you think about the phenomenon in which your mouth waters as soon as you think of food.
If you have had a traumatic experience in the past, simply seeing someone who looks similar or returning to that place can trigger physical and emotional reactions, even without any actual trigger.
This is a response that is triggered automatically before we even notice it, making it difficult to control with the conscious mind.
In this state, the conscious mind may be in the present, but the subconscious body is living in the past.
In this state, it is difficult for new things to happen because we predict all future events based on past memories.
How to overcome the Big Three (environment, body, time)?
To break free from the habits that have become our own, we must think bigger than the 'circumstances' of our lives, grow bigger than the feelings stored in our 'body', and live in a new 'timeline' rather than a remembered past and a predictable future.
If we want to change, we must cultivate an ideal self-image that is better than our current "self" existing in a specific environment, body, and time, break emotional addictions based on the past, and feel as if the future life we dream of has already happened.
When we transcend our environment, our body, and our time and enter a state of 'immersion,' that is where creation takes place.
Once you reach this state, you can reprogram your body to follow your mind.
So how can we enter a state of immersion?
The author suggests meditation as a training method.
We can create a consistent brain wave state through conscious training (meditation). This means that the high beta waves that occur when we focus on the Big Three can be changed into a more consistent alpha or theta wave state through meditation.
In this brainwave state, the body no longer dominates the mind, because the inner environment feels much more vivid than the external environment (the Big Three).
At this time, we can dream freely, change the programs in our subconscious, and access all the possibilities that exist within the quantum field, creating our desired reality without any interference.
We will no longer be swayed by the chaotic stimuli of the external environment, nor will we fall back into the familiar patterns of the past that hold us back.
It is about overcoming the Big Three.
When we reach a state of immersion where the sensations of the five senses disappear, it becomes easier to attract heightened emotions such as compassion, joy, love, and gratitude.
This is because these emotions themselves have very consistent wavelengths.
If we can maintain this inner consistency, something different will begin to appear in our lives: synchronicity, opportunity, coincidence, natural flow, health, insight, mystical experiences, new relationships.
Endless adventure—there are no limits to what you can achieve.
The author has already taught the "4-Week Meditation for a New You" program in this book to countless people around the world, and continues to hear amazing stories from those who have consistently implemented it and achieved transformation.
For example, Pamela, who had not received child support from her unemployed ex-husband, had been struggling financially for two years.
Grieved by despair, anger, and a sense of victimhood, she constantly reacted negatively, even in situations unrelated to child support.
After attending the author's seminar, she realized she needed to break free from her negative emotions and began meditating, letting go of her past-related emotions and survival-focused state of being, while giving them over to a greater consciousness.
She felt great joy and gratitude, and wished for prosperity not only for herself but for everyone.
When she finished meditating, she was a different person.
And soon, results befitting her new self began to appear.
During the seminar, the online promotion of the business was very successful, and not only did I earn close to $10,000, but three days later, I received the welcome news that my ex-husband had sent me $22,000 in overdue child support.
Letting go of the old energy, the immense energy it was holding onto is released and reality is recreated.
Monique, who also works as a therapist, has lived most of her adult life with an unconscious sense of deficiency.
There wasn't enough money, energy, or time to do what I wanted.
When she began meditating, she was struggling with skyrocketing office rent, clients leaving due to the recession, and her son's college tuition that she couldn't afford.
In meditation, she reflected on her past choices and realized that she had always blamed external circumstances for her shortcomings.
Determined to change her personality, Monique imagined herself as someone with an abundance of energy, time, and money.
And I started living my life with a new perspective of myself.
Then one day, after hearing from a client about her parents buying lottery tickets every month, she stopped by a gas station on her way home from work and saw lottery tickets displayed on the counter.
She thought it was foolish to buy a lottery ticket when she was not well off, but she thought that her new self, who was living a comfortable life, could afford to make a bet like this, so she bought a lottery ticket.
And that evening, I won the $53,000 lottery.
