3-Minute Theory: Rewrite Your Program

What if most of your suffering wasn’t real?

What if it was just… a program?

This episode pulled from martial arts, hypnosis, childhood trauma, and spiritual experiences to explore how we’re shaped by unconscious conditioning - and how we can consciously rewrite the code.

Here’s what we pulled from it - in 3 minutes, 3 angles, 1 insight.

MIND – Think

"You’re not your emotions. You’re not your past. You’re just the one who can observe it all."

We unpacked:

• The trance of daily life (yes - you’re always in trance)

• Why is the ego necessary, but also the thing that blocks growth

• How trauma programs your survival instincts

• And why identity isn’t fixed - it’s inherited, practised, and editable

The real insight?
Self-awareness is how you exit the autopilot.
And once you’re out, you can finally choose who you want to become.

BODY – Do

The “Rewrite Your Identity” Practice (5 minutes a day)

1. Write a positive “I am” statement that reflects who you want to become
   → “I am confident and grounded in who I am.”

2. Visualise yourself acting in alignment with that identity
   → See it, feel it, believe it

3. Do one small action that aligns with that identity
   → Speak up in a meeting, go train, say no

Example:

I want to become a calm, grounded man.
I close my eyes and see myself breathing deeply, responding with clarity, moving with purpose.
Today, I’ll take 3 deep breaths before replying to anything that triggers me.

Do it for 28 days.
Reprogram.
Rewrite.

HEART – Feel

Ask yourself:

“Am I living who I was taught to be - or who I’m here to become?”

So much of who we are was downloaded:

• Childhood trauma

• Parental patterns

• Survival responses

But you’re not your programming.
You’re the observer of it.
And that means - you can edit it.

That’s what self-development is:
Not becoming someone else - just remembering who you are, beneath the noise.

A Piece of Us

Konrad: “My highlight of the week? I won bronze in my Jiu-Jitsu comp.

When I was a white belt, I used to compete every 2–3 weeks, but somewhere along the way, I lost that rhythm. Now I feel like I’ve found it again. I’m hooked on Jiu-Jitsu - I’ve already signed up for another competition in November and I can’t wait.

Life feels exciting again. My relationships are improving, I’m staying on top of the podcast and my to-do list. The past few months were really hard - I felt incredibly down - but slowly I’m finding my way out. Through it all, Jiu-Jitsu kept me going.

I once wrote that Jiu-Jitsu is like a missing puzzle piece in the picture of my life. Everyone has their “thing,” and I’m grateful I found mine. Jiu-Jitsu makes me feel whole. It makes me feel at home.”

P.S. Jiu-Jitsu really changed my life! ;)
