Mastering the Self: How Habits and Discipline Set You Free
Richard Bello and Christina Lobraico
What does it really mean to be free? Is freedom simply the absence of external constraints, or is it something far deeper? In this powerful and thought-provoking talk, we’ll explore the essence of true freedom through the lens of Passover, uncovering the hidden prisons of the mind and the habits that shape our reality.
True freedom isn’t about breaking chains—it’s about mastering the mind. Often, the greatest limitations aren’t external forces but the unconscious beliefs and thought patterns we unknowingly accept. By blending ancient wisdom with modern psychology, this session will reveal how discipline, rather than restriction, is the key to lasting liberation.
Through engaging insights and practical strategies, you will learn to:
- Break free from mental limitations by identifying and dismantling the unconscious beliefs that keep you stuck.
- Harness the power of discipline for true freedom by understanding how structure, habits, and intentional action create a life of empowerment.
- Build habits for personal mastery with actionable tools to cultivate resilience, clarity, and purpose.
This isn’t just a talk—it’s an invitation to step into self-mastery, rewrite your inner narrative, and claim the freedom that’s already within you. Are you ready to break through the barriers and step into a life of true sovereignty?
