"Abandon unconscious patterns to become someone new Dispenza explains why effort alone cannot produce transformation. He stated that "you cannot create a new personal reality as the same personality" and that you must "become someone else by giving up unconscious thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that have been programmed through repetition." The programmed self runs on autopilot; a new self requires interrupting the program. Awareness of the pattern is the first step — sustained interruption is the second.
