Background Processes
The fears, survival patterns, and old logic that keep running in your mind whether you notice them or not. Some were installed by you, some by your environment, some by people who raised you. This setting is not about stopping them — it is about whether you even know they are there.
Ben Affleck and the Mental Conditioning Disaster
Background Processes are the fears and old logic running in your mind whether you notice them or not. Before the conditioning program, most Eagles players weren't consciously running fear-of-failure processes in the background — those processes existed, but weren't active. The program accidentally surfaced them by drawing direct attention to them, causing what had been quiet background noise to become foreground panic. Jason Kelce described players who had 'never thought about failure' suddenly being consumed by it.
