Repeat.

Things to remember and ponder:
1. Anything that is reinforced is likely to occur again. (do I say that too often? Good! Remember it! More information on this in earlier posts)
2. Neurons that fire together, wire together. Everytime you think a thought and get a particular reaction...you strengthen that neural connection. You think it, you have a reaction. Think/reaction. Think/reaction. So, pretty soon you don't-even-have-to think-it, and you are doing a behavior. But, in actuality, you did think it. It happened so fast because it is 'wired' together. For example if you had anxiety one day while crossing a bridge and then the next time, you thought..."well, last time I crossed that bridge I had anxiety" which, reminded you and you developed feelings of anxiety again. Then the next time, you do it again... think it, create it. Pretty soon, you don't have to think it, just looking at a bridge gives you that anxious feeling. How many times have you said, "I wasn't thinking anything... I just had this feeling of anxiousness and it was for no reason!" Your thoughts are wired together. The beauty of this is... we have BILLIONS of neurons. Add a new reaction, even in imagination, and you can change your behavior.
Think a thought, see a new & wanted reaction, repeat.

Solutions for the New Year

Join me on January 10th, 2 p.m. - Calistoga Spa Conference Room, Downtown Calistoga.

New Year resolutions are one of the most common ways people try to change their behavior. Starting off the New Year with good intentions, only to slip back into our old, unwanted behavior, before the end of January! This year, let us make solutions. Learn how to implement these solutions and achieve your goals in life.

This talk will be on how the brain works and how you can use this knowledge to achieve the goals you want to achieve. This hour will be a gift to yourself: motivate you, excite you, and quite possibly…change your life.

See you there.
