Baby Step 25 to Fall into Better Habits

Did you know your brain has a very detailed filing system? It neatly stores away all of your memories, outcomes, relationships, ideas, etc. It can then access them at a moment’s notice. Your brain does this to maintain your well-being, but most importantly, to keep you safe.

Because same = safe according to your brain.

Which is wonderful if everything always stayed the same, but we’re trying to make changes here! We’re looking to develop a new habit.

So what’s a human to do? Use this awesome brainpower to our advantage, of course.

Starting now, take notice when your brain is trying to bring up the past (#24/7). When it forces a not-so-treasured memory on you, instead of falling into the usual downward spiral of despair, check out today’s Baby Step…

• REDUCE the guilt and disappointment of the past by welcoming the memory – stop hiding it.

• REUSE the memory and see it in a new way, not just as a regrettable mistake – it was a lesson.

• RECYCLE that past “failure” and turn it into hard-earned experience instead – now it’s a skill.

And then, you can use that valuable experience and transform it into expertise so you can reach your goal.

Mother Earth has been doing this on her own since the dawn of time: Grow the trees which grow the leaves which fall to the ground which grow into compost which grows more trees and so it goes.

You see? It’s a proven system.

Try it. What have you got to lose…besides misery and suffering and regret?
