Operation Self Reset Episode 98: Regenerate Your Story
This week Jake is talking about creating a new story in your life.
Our brains learn because of a tissue called myelin, which wraps around the nerve fibers that fire when we learn or experience something in our lives. This is what tells us what things we enjoy and what things we don’t like. The process of generating myelin happens repeatedly whenever we experience something and it becomes a part of the habits in our lives.
Myelin comes into play in our fears also. When we tell ourselves that we can’t do something—speak in front of people, go into high places, not go after that dream job—myelin, or The Doubt Man as Jake calls it, wraps around those neurons in our brains. It happens again and again, until we absolutely believe that we can’t ever do those things.
We can’t erase myelin, the only thing we can do is replace it with a new story. Listen in as Jake talks about how to replace your story and the myelin in your brain with a new story and a new you.
Here’s what Jake talked about in this episode:
- How we learn
- Creating a new story

Hi there. Just listened to Regenerate Your Story this morning and the last bit of help you suggest is to write down a bullet list of who you want to be? To write down your best version of yourself and then read it to yourself everynight before bed. I love this idea but I wanted to ask you about taking it one step further. What if I recorded my own voice reading this best version of myself and played it through my headphones every night before falling asleep/as I’m falling asleep? Sort of like a hypnosis type thing. I have been listening to different types of hypnosis tracks every night for a year and I find them to be very helpful in relaxing my mind. I’m just wondering what you think listening to your own voice telling yourself who you want to be would be even more helpful or maybe that’s not a good idea for some reason? Thanks!
So good Jake! How you’ve managed to speak directly to me again I don’t know. I can’t imagine trying to do my self reset without this podcast, knowing that I’m not the only one feeling a certain way and being able to confidently follow the directions you’ve shown us is invaluable. Thank you!
