14 Days Of Change

With Amy Johnson

Are you tired of struggling with unwanted habits and constant worry? Change is a natural part of being human, yet it often feels difficult and elusive. But what if I told you that change doesn’t have to be hard? Welcome to 14 Days of Change—a 14-day experience that will encourage profound insights into how you see yourself, your habits, and life itself. Change does not require intense effort, discipline, or willpower. True and lasting change is your nature. Insight–a brand new way of seeing ourselves and our experience–results in change that is so fundamental, it doesn’t need to be maintained. 14 Days of Change is about revealing some very simple, but very deep insights that will help you see yourself, your habits, and all of life in a new way. When you see things in this new way, thoughts, feelings, and behavior change as a result. What if change is actually simple…we’ve just been going about it the hard way?


Meet your Teacher

Dr. Amy Johnson struggled with anxiety in many forms, from generalized anxiety to worry, to panic attacks and intrusive thoughts, for many years. Just when she thought her anxiety was “under control”, she found myself caught up in what turned out to be an 8-year binge eating and bulimia habit. She was told by many well-meaning professionals that she would likely struggle with both of these issues forever; that she could learn to cope, but that these habits would likely come back when she was feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth today. She has been completely free of anxiety and eating issues for many years now, with no effort or coping necessary. In that time, she has shared what helped her find freedom with people all over the world. She is the author of the bestselling books, The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit and Just a Thought: The No-Willpower Approach to Overcome Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind. She is the creator of The Little School of Big Change, an online school that has helped thousands of people find freedom from habits and anxiety. She also has a podcast called Changeable.

Lesson 2

Day 1: What We've Learned Is All Wrong

Deep, lasting change happens when we see things in a brand new way. When we see things in a new way, lasting change is the natural consequence. If your past change attempts haven’t worked, it’s not your fault. You weren’t using the right tools. Seeing things in a brand new way is the right tool.

Lesson 3

Day 2: Where's The Problem?

Consider that you are sitting in the middle of absolute perfect wholeness and mental health, right now and always. And when you don’t feel that, it’s only because you’re thinking, and paying attention to your thought-created experience rather than the essence of who-you-are.

Lesson 4

Day 3: Subtraction, Not Addition

If you are peaceful, happy, wise, and habit-free by default, and you already have and already are everything you’re searching for, adding more on top of that won’t make sense. You need subtraction, not addition.

Lesson 5

Day 4: Everything Is Already Changing

We’ve been led to believe that our thoughts and feelings are ours to manage and control. But what if thoughts and feelings change completely on their own, all the time?

Lesson 6

Day 5: Simple Mechanics

Your brain craves what it craves and demands what it demands by habit, not because you crave or want those things, but because your brain is an efficient machine doing what it thinks it needs to do to keep you safe and alive. This would mean that you don’t have habits or habitual thoughts, cravings, or insecurities. Only the machine in your head does.

Lesson 7

Day 6: Me, Me, Me

Not only are they not you, me, yours, or mine, they aren’t even about us. What if thought and feeling aren’t personal at all? Can you sense the enormous freedom in this?

Lesson 8

Day 7: Thank You

Suffering is feedback, showing us that we’re attached to ideas and thoughts that appear true, but aren’t. For example, when you believe you’re not good enough or life should be other than how it is, you suffer. That suffering is alerting you to your identification with a fleeting, false idea.

Lesson 9

Day 8: It's Not You Or Yours

Resilience isn’t just for kids. It’s not age-dependent and it’s not something we outgrow. It’s simply something we begin to think ourselves away from.

Lesson 10

Day 9: Perfection In Disguise

Our habits are our best attempt--from what we see in any given moment--to return home and feel “like ourselves” again. We feel discomfort and we try to distract from the discomfort to feel closer to home.

Lesson 11

Day 10: The Space Between

What is there beyond your psychological experience? Beyond your thoughts and feelings? Who or what is aware of your experience? If you are able to observe and comment on the output of your brain and the seamless flow of experience moving through you, there must be something bigger than, or beyond that experience, right?

Lesson 12

Day 11: Being Lived

It can look like we’re responsible for making things happen. Life looks like our responsibility. Our outcomes, including our own peace of mind, happiness, and anything we want to change, appear to be up to us to figure out. But what if change is not up to us?

read more

Lesson 13

Day 12: Time Is A Thought

Without a past and future conversation, there’s just Now. Anything that’s happening here and now is so incredibly fleeting. It is also incredibly impermanent and not inherently problematic. It’s only when our mind places it on a timeline and tells a meaningful, personal story about it, that it appears as a problem we need to fix.

Lesson 14

Day 13: It's Inevitable

So much effort goes into trying to avoid feeling something, but why? Really...if all thoughts and feelings come and go on their own, and they aren’t personal, and they can’t hurt us, why do we try so hard to outrun them?

read more

Lesson 15

Day 14: Hakuna Matata

What if there were no stable, serious, solid problems, only thought that tells us things should be different than they are? From a moment-to-moment view, we’re just feeling life now, and life now, and life now. There is no cohesive story that pulls it all together into “my problem”.

Lesson 16

14 Days Of Change: Conclusion

I really hope that the past two weeks have allowed you to see yourself, your thoughts and feelings, and your habits and anxieties in a new way. As you consider the things you’ve been looking toward in the past two weeks, your vision widens. What once felt rigid and tight and limiting tends to soften and look more fluid.

Wonderful stuff. Particularly since you have tried more conventional problem to be solved therapies yourself. The spiritual component is such a wonderful surprise, as a student of master path for the past 25 years or so thank you so much!

Thank you so much. For years I’ve felt incredibly stuck in my story. This insight of not having to actually listen to that story is so simple yet incredibly powerful. I find myself curious and in search of this new ease and joy this practice connects to. It almost feels like a consistent form of meditation. I feel the ability to be selective about the thoughts and feeling that arise for me. Connecting internally with parts that can use my loving parent and disconnecting from stories that don’t serve me. Thank you for sharing this practice.

POWERFUL! This course has helped me feel less anxious about CHANGE. I’ve realized change is inevitable. It’s happening all the time. Habits and worries live in our minds; the more we think the more they show up. My new thought pattern is CHANGE IS SUBTRACTIVE NOT additive.

Extraordinary to contemplate a whole new paradigm shift at 65! My wisdom says it makes perfect sense that struggle comes from a lack of acceptance so excited by new possibilities. Will listen again and deepen my understanding.

I really enjoyed having my awareness shift away from identifying with thought. I think it will definitely help overcome a long term unhealthy habit, by now witnessing the frequent stories my mind was repeating and not buying into them. I particularly liked the pointing to our true nature in this course, and I have had some "oh, I see now" clarity. I look forward to repeating the course and hopefully picking up tips on how to take action, or not take action, if indeed thoughts aren't really who we are. Thank you for a truly mind blowing course, that makes so much sense! I cant unsee things now!

Such a valuable course. I was amazed by how it uses concepts that I already embrace in new ways I hadn't imagined to see things in a new, simpler way, especially around habits. I am looking to listening again and am already embracing this lovely concept for change. Thank you
