Initiating and committing to change is often difficult. Four out of five people do not keep their resolutions.
Motivation isn’t everything. Emotions are crucial.
Explanations with Karen Oliver, neuroscientist and emotional release specialist.
Why do we fail?
Let’s start with the basics with this Tibetan teaching:Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Observe your actions because they become habits. And watch your habits, for they will become your behavior.”
So it all starts with our thoughts. The good news is that we can change things!
Just set an intention.
What is the intention of this change that I want? What is the meaning?
If you’re on your couch, you say “I’m going to go exercise”; If exercising doesn’t make sense to you, it won’t work. You won’t be able to get up. If you think you can’t do it or it’s useless, then your brain will send you the limiting messages, side benefits… whatever will motivate your “why” not to go there. Everything will be put in place to prove to you that it is “useless”
The Brain and the Strings of War.
The brain has a wonderful faculty, which is to remember recent experiences.
So if recent experiences have been failures, you will subconsciously put yourself in failure mode.
It will be difficult for you to move yourself because you will tell yourself that in any case, the matter is doomed. On the other hand, initiating the movement, walking the talk, and thus getting off the couch and putting on your sneakers will send a message to the brain that you are ready. Start the transition to work gradually: “In a quarter of an hour I get up from the sofa.”
Getting into motion or action begins to change the emotional state; And think. When you get up, visualize yourself and imagine what you can do, how you will get there.
And if you remember the previous experiments that were successful, it works every time.
Don’t think “I should go jogging or quit smoking” but instead “I would like to take care of my health”. There, you will search for the means and tools around you to reach that. The solution will come naturally.
you will choose. do not forget itSmall achievable goals are better than big unattainable goals. By thinking in this way, you will start to trigger something and it will give a signal to your brain that will go into success mode.
Another good news, it’s never too late to change the way you do things! The brain adapts at any age.
And the tools to be accompanied are numerous: electronic transmission or neurofeedback, kinesiology, etc.
