Let’s explore the connection between cognitive dissonance and the nervous system, and why change can feel so uncomfortable…even when you deeply want it.
Building on episode 176 and conversations around gratitude, emotional states, and the “messy middle,” this episode breaks down what happens when your internal world begins to shift… but your patterns, behaviours, and identity haven’t fully caught up yet.
Cognitive dissonance is often experienced as a gap..the space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. And without understanding how the nervous system is involved, many people interpret that potential discomfort as failure or inconsistency when it can be magical and the catalyst for manifestation and alchemy.
In this episode, I walk through:
- What cognitive dissonance actually is and how it shows up in real life
- Why this phase of change is actually a good sign
- What’s happening when your old patterns and new desires overlap
- How to start working with your system so change feels more natural
- The connection between visualization, cognitive dissonance, manifestation,and alchemy
- A simple journaling practice to begin bridging the gap between present and future self
If you’re in a season of growth…
where things feel different, but not fully “there” yet…
This one will meet you exactly where you are.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J
