Have you ever struggled to change a habit? Do you think forcing someone to change ever works? Today, Jay dives deep into one of the most frequently asked questions: Can people really change? Drawing from a mix of personal stories, scientific research, and spiritual wisdom, Jay sheds light on the complexities of human behavior, how change unfolds, and why it can often seem so elusive. One of the key insights Jay offers is the distinction between acknowledgment and accountability. Many people acknowledge they need to change, but accountability—taking full responsibility for how their actions impact others and making a concrete plan to improve—is much harder to achieve. Without this deeper level of self-awareness and commitment, lasting change remains out of reach. Jay provides practical advice for those navigating relationships with people who seem resistant to change. He outlines key signs to look for that indicate someone is truly ready to change, including self-awareness, accountability, and a genuine desire to improve. He also stresses the importance of patience and empathy, reminding listeners that change is often a gradual process, filled with setbacks and oscillations between old and new behaviors. In this episode, you'll learn: How to encourage change without forcing it How to help someone become self-aware How to support someone’s change process How to communicate about change in relationships How to accept that change must come from within Patience, empathy, and an understanding of the complexities of human behavior are key to supporting both ourselves and others in the pursuit of meaningful evolution.  With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty What We Discuss: 00:00 Intro 01:37 Is There Someone In Your Life You Wish Would Change? 04:24 Core Personality Traits Are Difficult to Change 07:46 Signs that Someone is Likely to Change 08:25 #1: They Take Accountability and Has Self-Awareness 10:18 #2: They Must Have the Motivation to Change 14:19 Change Doesn’t Happen Right Away 16:59 Signs that Someone is Changing 18:57 How a Community Can Trigger Change 21:30 How Do You Start a Healthy Conversation with Your Partner?

Why are you blocking yourself from love? What’s holding you back from attracting love? Today, let's welcome once again Jay's good friend Dr Joe Dispenza - a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe Dispenza has developed a practical formula to help people transform their lives. Dr Joe’s mission unifies complex branches of science in an approachable way – focused on proven research, “Stories of Transformation” testimonials, and the scientific data behind spontaneous remissions.  Joe discusses his groundbreaking work on how individuals can transform their lives by tapping into the power of their thoughts and emotions. The conversation is centered around how stress, survival instincts, and subconscious beliefs block us from manifesting love and positive changes in our lives, the importance of shifting from a reactive, stress-driven state to a heart-centered, creative one, and “becoming” the person you want to be by aligning thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with the future you desire, rather than the past you want to leave behind.  Jay and Joe discuss the mechanisms that prevent people from opening their hearts to love, focusing on how the survival mechanisms of the brain and body condition us to relive past traumas and fears. According to Joe, many people are trapped in a cycle of stress that keeps them disconnected from their true potential. He emphasizes the power of daily practices like meditation and emotional regulation to rewire the brain, shift belief systems, and attract the love and life one desires. In this interview, you'll learn: How to attract love by practicing joy and gratitude How to rewire your brain by visualizing your desired future How to heal emotionally with daily meditation How to manifest change by aligning thoughts, emotions, and behaviors How to replace resentment with positive emotions through practice How to stop survival mode by regulating your emotions By shifting from a state of stress and survival to one of creation and love, we can not only heal from past traumas but also attract the relationships and experiences we truly desire. The key lies in aligning our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with the future we wish to create.  With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty What We Discuss: * 00:00 Intro * 01:35 What’s Really Blocking You from Manifesting Love? * 07:42 Why Becoming the Person You Want to Attract Is Key * 14:40 How to Reignite Your Belief in Love After Heartbreak * 20:08 The Role of Past Experiences in Shaping Your Beliefs * 28:40 Healing Starts with Reminding Yourself to Change * 33:18 True Transformation Begins When You Believe in Possibility * 37:27 The Power of Being Present to Absorb Life-Changing Information * 42:04 How Long Does It Really Take to Rewire a Belief? * 46:18 How Meditation and Protein Boost Your Immunity * 51:18 Science Proves the Limitless Potential of the Human Mind * 57:52 How Collective Consciousness Can Transform Your Life * 01:08:38 How Stress Disconnects You from Your True Self Episode Resources: * Dr Joe Dispenza | Website [https://drjoedispenza.com/] * Dr Joe Dispenza | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drjoedispenza/] * Dr Joe Dispenza | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DrJoeDispenzaOfficialNewsFanPage] * Dr Joe Dispenza | YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/user/drjoedispenza] * Dr Joe Dispenza | Books [https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001IGX24Q/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=e268980d-b330-47bc-b8ba-668364b6044b] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
