Neuroplasticity To Create New Habits

The Secret to Your Success is Your Brain.

The brain is like a muscle, that when trained can be reshaped, creating new neural networks that can change how we think and act, 

If you want to change your health, you need to change your habits. This means doing new things over and over. You have two ways to do this. The common approach is to practice extreme willpower and discipline that pushes you to do the things that are unnatural or that you don't want to do. The better way which we will uncover in this program is by reshaping how you think about your goals and the habits needed to accomplish them.

Your brain controls everything you do and it has been shaped over many years through your experiences and beliefs. Your current way of thinking and doing things is your default mode. This default mode has likely served you well in life to get you to where you are but is it serving you to become the healthiest version of yourself? 

Transitioning Away From Default Mode

To become healthy so that we can reach our goals we want to shift from the 'default mode' of doing things (our old self) to a new way that serves both who we are and who we wish to be. This new way of doing things is your 'future mode' and represents the highest version of yourself. Becoming version 2.0 of yourself means rewiring how you think about health, essentially making it easier to adopt the skills, traits and beliefs of the very person you want to become.

To rewire our brain requires repetition. Beside doing the habits over an over which we already know, we must keep reminding ourselves of our higher vision and that means CONSTANTLY reconnecting with the WHY behind our goals. 

The Power Behind Your Habits is Your WHY!

We all have goals, but something bigger exists behind those goals that is an incredible source of power. It's probably a burning desire to live life more fully. Keeping up with your kids, breaking your personal record, feeling optimistic about the future for the first time in years, or something equally desirable. Whatever it is for you, it is your WHY. 

Take a moment to ponder your WHY and write it down. There might be several. Here is how to extract your WHY:

• From your goals, ask WHY these goals are important?
• What will accomplishing these goals allow you to do that you can not right now?
• Who in your life will be positively impacted should you attain these goals?
• The WHY you write down should create pure joy in your heart to imagine it
• And it must be positive, not negative. Rather than, "Not be in pain," write down, "Feeling good in my body every day"

By connecting with your WHY every day you will create new connections in your brain (neuroplasticity), that will lead to new ways of thinking and ultimately new ways of doing things that will make your WHY and your goals a reality.

THOUGHTS lead to FEELINGS which lead to ACTIONS which lead to RESULTS!

So be mindful of your thoughts and the more you can, the more your brain starts to create new neural pathways that lead to the new you!
