Our brains literally change based on what we do, think, and experience. Each time we repeat an action, the brain cells associated with that activity or thought becomes more connected, making it more likely that we will do it again. The less we repeat an action, the more the pathways between brain cells weaken. Basically – If we always do what we always did we will always get what we always got!
All too frequently it’s said – I can’t get below a certain weight I can’t focus on healthy eating this week as I’m ill, celebrating, stressed, kids off school, it’s the weekend, weather and loads more what can you think of? For many of us there is a well-worn path we’ve taken that many times and it would be so easy to walk on again and again. but where does it get us? Back to the same issues we’ve always had!!!
So the question you need to ask yourself is” how happy am I for that to happen AGAIN”?
If you have decided you no longer want to travel where that route leads. Then to get where you want to go, you need to create a new path. So you begin to walk a new route – and it’s more difficult at first because the grass is long and there are some rocks in the path. As you keep walking this new path each day, however, the grass flattens and you kick the rocks aside and it gets easier. This is similar to how our brains work: the more we tread over the same path by repeating a behaviour, the stronger that response gets. Habits….. So if we want to change then we have to look at ways of creating a new way of dealing with situations so that our brains become more used to the new way of doing things
We all have a choice point where we can carry on doing what we’ve always done or we can choose a different path.
