Rewiring the brain 馃
A lot of time we think rewiring the brain has to be hard and take a lot of time - I'm here to bust that myth!
Rewiring the brain- at the core- requires 1 thing... be in the uncomfortable. You see, our brain's #1 job is to keep us alive... so in brain logic, if we have been living on planet Earth for decades not doing the thing that we are trying to do now, why do we need to do it? You can see the logic of this question, right?
This is why change is hard... or often perceived as hard... the brain has the understanding that it's been doing its job well - it's kept you alive- hard evidence to dismiss, if you're reading this, no? So it's question to us is, why do you need to change the programming if everything is working?
The brain has this resistance because it doesn't like to be uncomfortable! And... it doesn't know the difference between you surviving and you thriving.... Just like it doesn't know the difference when you speak negatively about your perception of yourself or when you listen to a recording of your ideal life... it accepts both of them as true!
When we are trying to incorporate a new habit - add 10 more minutes to our daily walk, drink 2 more glasses of water per day, get to bed at the same time each night, not be on our phones focused on work while at the dinner table, not put ourselves down every time we pass a mirror - and we find ourselves getting stuck, hitting resistance... it's because we are interrupting the program that has been running... UNTIL THIS POINT...
In order to change... we need to show the brain that it's safe to be uncomfortable. So keep showing up for yourself in your new way. This will create evidence for the subconscious mind to begin incorporating a new program... and in your physical world, that habit that you have been working on will start to click and be embodied with ease.
With regards to change itself- One way that decreases the resistance to change is to create a game with yourself around whatever habit you are incorporating... trying to drink more water, play the game that every time you go to the bathroom, you drink a glass of water when you come out... trying to implement electronics boundaries so that you create more quality time at home, play digital detox bingo. [Check out the attachment below for more details].
The important thing is is that you are making empowered choices about your life - not living on autopilot- and consciously choosing the program you desire. HAVE FUN with this!
To help you get started with your Digital Detox Bingo, I have attached a sample board. Use the first board to build your momentum and then print off as many blank boards as you'd like and let your creative juices flow!
Share below a habit that you are shifting into and what game you created & are playing around it! Let's inspire each other馃槂
