What’s the strongest force in psychology?
Consistency Bias.
This is the pull to remain consistent with internal models of reality and identity.
And all other biases are some form of this.
How Does This Relate To Living Your Best Life?
Growth is the result of questioning this understanding.
You see, these models don’t come out of nowhere…
They are the sum of everything you’ve ever known.
This creates a gravitational pull.
(Ever hear of the crab bucket?)
When you step beyond it, your new reality and identity will be weak.
Not only will you have to counter the gravity of your old world, you’ll also have to deal with weak-minded idiots trying to ruin your momentum.
However, if you don’t take control of your reference point, someone else will.
(And they won’t give a fuck about you).
How can you make your way through?
The Good News Is, Once Everything Is Set Up, 99% Of Decisions Are Already Made.
Yes, even before you encounter situations.
It’s easy to live a life consistent with your vision when you’re used to it as your center of gravity.
But it takes some time to get used to.
I remember when I first started going to the gym I would have flashes of my old ego.
It would say:
“This isn’t who you are.”
But then I would feel the dissonance of going through the motions and realizing:
“That’s wrong”.
That old gravity no longer has any affect on me now.
And you don’t have to let your old gravity affect you either.
Many never make it out because they can’t maneuver past these psychological traps.
