Course 13: The Power and Nature of Habits
Your habits are not small things. They shape the foundation of your beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors—quietly sculpting your mindset and, over time, the quality of your life.
The challenge is that many habits operate beneath conscious awareness. They run like an internal operating system—reinforced through repetition—until they become automatic.
As William James observed:
“All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits.”
This course is dedicated to one essential question:
How do you strengthen your resolve and capacity to become the person you aspire to be?
Start Course 13When your habits start running the show
Habits are powerful because they reduce cognitive load. The subconscious takes over what the conscious mind cannot carry all day. But when subconscious patterns shaped by past emotions and experiences become the default, you may find yourself living on autopilot—responding to cues and triggers without choosing the response.
You may notice:
-
repeated behaviors you promised yourself you’d outgrow
-
reactions that feel inevitable under stress, boredom, or pressure
-
self-limiting “tapes” from the past influencing how you think and feel
-
a gap between what you value and what you practice
-
cycles that keep you from becoming the person you know you’re meant to be
The turning point is simple and profound: Are your habits your allies—or your adversaries?
This course helps you build awareness, identify triggers, and begin creating habits aligned with your highest intelligence.
What you’ll walk away with
By the end of Course 13, you’ll understand how habits form—and how to transform them through conscious awareness and alignment with spiritual intelligence.
You’ll walk away with:
-
a clear understanding of habit formation: repetition → automaticity
-
insight into how the subconscious mind writes and reinforces programs beneath awareness
-
a practical way to identify triggers that reinforce negative habits (stress, boredom, social influence, etc.)
-
tools for replacing destructive habits with healthier alternatives through deliberate strategy
-
a framework for building up to three habits at a time without overwhelm
-
practices for presence and intentionality so old programs don’t regain control
-
a deeper understanding of the role of conscience and spiritual intelligence in rewiring behavior
Why habits matter
Habits shape far more than your schedule. They shape your identity. Once a behavior becomes a habit, it no longer demands conscious effort. The subconscious and body take over—executing it automatically. That can either imprison you in patterns shaped by the past… or liberate you into the life you aspire to live.
Constructive habits do not restrict freedom.
They enhance it. They automate what is meaningful, freeing energy for growth, creativity, and purpose.
And because self-limiting subconscious programs shape how you see, think, feel, and behave much of the time, transformation requires something deeper than willpower:
Conscious awareness of conscience.
Your spiritual intelligence exists independently of the subconscious. It provides gentle but persistent signals—spiritual tension—when you drift from your true nature. When you learn to listen and respond, you begin to reprogram habits from the inside out.
