For 40 years, I felt like I was at war with myself—I KNEW what I should do, but I couldn't do it. This is cognitive dissonance: when your conscious mind (5% of mental activity) wants one thing, but your unconscious mind (95%) believes something else. Your conscious says "set boundaries," but your unconscious says "if you do, you'll lose love." Your conscious says "charge your worth," but your unconscious says "you're not worthy of that." And when these two minds are in conflict, the unconscious ALWAYS wins. This is why willpower doesn't work, why you self-sabotage right at the breakthrough, and why you know what to do but don't do it. I tried everything—therapy, willpower, affirmations, shame—and stayed stuck for decades. Until I learned the real solution: unconscious reprogramming. Once I brought my conscious desires and unconscious beliefs into alignment, everything changed in 90 days. The internal war ended, the self-sabotage stopped, and I became free. If you're exhausted from fighting yourself, read my new blog to learn the 5-step process to resolve cognitive dissonance and finally create peace within yourself.
