Some of the key takeaways are that small, consistent choices lead to deep transformation, we have control over some things in our lives, and holistic tools can help with change.

The text mentions that intuition refers to an innate and unconscious wisdom that can provide clarity, as opposed to being trapped in reactive thinking.

The text states that the subconscious mind prefers existing in a comfort zone of familiar experiences and habits, as it sees the familiar as the safest option it can predict.

1. Healing is a daily event. You can’t “go somewhere” to be healed; you must go inward to be healed.

This means a daily commitment to doing the work. You are responsible for your healing and will be an
active participant in that process. Your level of activity is directly connected to your level of healing.
Small and consistent choices are the path to deep transformation.

2. Though many things are beyond our control, others are within our control. Though many things are
beyond our control, others are within our control. Holistic Psychology harnesses the power of choice,
because choice enables healing.

3. Holistic tools are very practical and approachable. Change can and often

still feels overwhelming. This is because the main function of your

subconscious mind is to keep you safe, and it is threatened by change. We

experience this “pull toward the familiar” in the different discomforts we

often feel as we change. The practice of making consistent, small, daily

choices through these push-and-pull resistances helps empower us to

maintain change.

4. Taking responsibility for your mental wellness, though intimidating, can be

incredibly empowering. There is a palpable shift occurring in the collective,

with many people becoming increasingly frustrated with the inequities and

limitations of our health care system. There is likely an intuitive part of you

that knows there is more available to you, or you wouldn’t have picked up

this book. I will share the emerging science that illustrates the many reasons

why the old model no longer works and provide you with a road map to

harness this new model of mental wellness.

FUTURE SELF JOURNAL

Future Self Journaling (FSJ) is a daily practice aimed at helping you break out of your subconscious

autopilot—or the daily conditioned habits that are keeping you stuck repeating your past. You can

begin to move forward by consistently engaging in the following activities:

Witnessing the ways you remain “stuck” in your past conditioning


Setting a conscious daily intention to change

Setting small, actionable steps that support daily choices aligned with a different future outcome

Empowering these daily choices despite the universal experience and presence of mental

resistance

The reality is this: few of us have any real connection to who we really are, yet we want others to see
through all of our layers of self-betrayal and into our core selves.

You are the thinker of your thoughts, not the thoughts themselves.

There is, however, such a thing as relying too much on our thoughts. When we’re in the “monkey
mind,” as the Buddha first described it, we never stop thinking; our thoughts jumble together; there is
no space to breathe and examine them.

Jessica could not move forward because her thinking mind trapped her in a

state of reactivity. It was impossible for her to get any clarity about what she

wanted because she wasn’t tapped into her intuition. We all have an intuition, a

psychological and spiritual concept that refers to an innate and unconscious

wisdom.

How we think,

speak, and respond—all of this comes from the subconscious part of ourselves

that has been conditioned by thoughts, patterns, and beliefs that became

ingrained in our childhoods through a process called conditioning.

The homeostatic impulse regulates our

physiological functions from breathing to body temperature to heartbeat. And it


all happens at the subconscious level, meaning that we do not actively initiate

any of them; they are automatic. The goal of the homeostatic impulse is to create

balance in the mind and body.

The subconscious mind loves existing in a comfort zone. The safest place, it

turns out, is one you’ve been before because you can predict the familiar

outcome. Habits, or behaviors that we repeatedly return to, become the

subconscious’s default mode.
