The biggest challenge you will ever face when deciding to make lifestyle changes…is you.
You are your own biggest asset and your own biggest liability.
Your strengths are also your weaknesses.
In the field of brain research the Hebbian Theory states that: “Brain cells that fire together –wire together”
Brain neurons -hard at work -creating actions -creating your life!
All that means is, when we make the same choices over and over -the random chemical reactions in our brains begin to fire as if there is no other alternative -like they are not ‘random’ anymore.
It’s like we no longer have ‘choice.’
We seem to feel that we have to act in these same, predictable patterns, these same predictable ways -making the same predictable unhealthy choices.
So what used to be random…..is now “automatic”
We can also call these are our habits.
But in reality our habits are just the choices we make and the and actions we take…that’s all. They can be changed.
We really can ‘re-wire’ the neurons in our brains to ‘re-fire’ in different order and in different sequence to create new and different actions, behaviors and habits.
We have that power! -It’s true!
I get all ‘goose-bumpy’ just thinking about it! (I am such a nerd)
So new habits may be difficult to get into and you may not ‘think’ you’re enjoying them but there’s more going on inside that head of yours than you may realize.
You’re fighting with yourself and there is a battle going on inside your brain.
Remember…..
“Brain cells that fire together –wire together”
Just start ‘firing’ new experiences and eventually those experiences will become habit and then……
–The sky is the limit!
You can ultimately do whatever you want to do.
(See? -now YOU have the goosebumps!)
To your good health!
