Why do you keep repeating the same limiting patterns? Why do you self-sabotage even when you know better? On this episode of the #lessonsforluca podcast, Michael DeSanti reveals the #1 reason: you are living from a disregulated nervous system. He explains the deep-seated biological and psychological reasons why we stay stuck in survival mode. You'll learn that your brain is hardwired for survival and cannot tell the difference between a real threat (like a grizzly bear) and a perceived threat (like a late paycheck or your partner being upset). This "perceived threat" activates 4 unconscious survival strategies that run your entire life: 1. The Need to Look Good / Fit In2. The Need for Comfort / Familiarity3. The Need to Be in Control4. The Need to Be Right Michael breaks down how these strategies create a "survival context" that makes your desired results (like prosperity or a thriving marriage) impossible—like trying to plant a cactus in the North Pole. The solution isn't to "try harder." The solution is to build a bridge from your sympathetic (threat) to your parasympathetic (rest) nervous system. Michael calls this bridge the "spiritual domain"—a practical, non-religious approach to slowing down, rewiring your brain, and finally gaining possession of yourself. This is a masterclass on the root cause of #selfsabotage and the true path to #innerfreedom. #michaeldesanti #personalgrowth #nervoussystem
