Rebooting Your Brain

CHAPTER 7Rebooting Your Control of You

Earlier in our conversation, we looked at ourselves as children. We looked at how we operated and moved. It was at this point in our life when our brain was working perfectly, without restriction. This was when our mental operating system had no flawed programs, nothing that was holding us back or misshaping our perspective on ourselves.

The goal of our reboot is to reset our mental operating system back to what it was when we were young, before we had been conditioned in negative and limiting ways. To do this we need to reflect on how a child thinks, specifically the way they think prior to the age of two. Why two? Remember, that's when the outside world began to shift the optimal beliefs we were born with.
