How changing your brain can bring you closer to your goals!
Create new habits that'll soon become second nature.
Try this!
Form - and strengthen - the pathways in your brain to get closer to your long-term goals.
Start by answering these questions: 1. What paths (think of them as repetitive actions) do you automatically take in your day-to-day life? Are they leading you away from your long-term goals? 2. What newer paths could you build to get closer to those goals? Jot down those new paths you could take—and when you’d choose them instead of your old paths. These are your choice points. Remind yourself of your intention and your choice points daily. Reflect on the paths you chose to help see your progress. Keep an eye on how and where you can make tweaks.
Let’s dive a little deeper...
No matter how old you are, you can change your brain. We also have the capacity to choose which habits we want to develop, and we can create new pathways in our brains to make it easier to do those habits.
The more you practice your new pathway (here, it’s making a simple meal at home), the more it’ll become second nature. That’s because both mental and physical strength are built through repetition. Our brains change to make it easier for us to repeat our new paths moving forward.
