Have you heard of neuroplasticity?
We used to think that brains were hard to change.
We now know that brain pathways are moldable, changeable, not set in stone.
Plastic, if you will.
Think of your thoughts (meta!) like a roadway. If your brain travels the same path long enough, it will create well worn ruts. These connecting roads are “neural pathways”.
Ever notice that your thought patterns are often in similar sequence? That your reactions are predictable? That you get stuck feeling a certain way often?
—Dread when you see you have an email from that obnoxious coworker.
—Anxiety when you see that upcoming dental appointment on your calendar.
—Irritation when you see the nasty dishes piled in the sink, again.
This is where your brain goes by default after a while. Down the same neural pathways…
But guess what?
GOOD NEWS!!
We can put up a roadblock. We can force the brain to take a detour, to find new ways of thinking, of feeling.
We create new neural pathways that start to set in after just three times of practicing!
I know how to facilitate this change process quickly, often within one 45-minute session.
For example, I’ve helped someone:
feel neutral, and then good about (only) one person signing up for their upcoming workshop
go from feeling judgmental about what they see on Facebook to feeling in awe of the diversity of thought among friends
overcome anxiety and swirling thoughts at bedtime
You’ll come away with tools you can use yourself to solidify the change.
And then your brain does the rest of the work while you sleep.
It feels like magic.
What would you want to change if I had a magic wand?
You’ve suffered long enough. Let’s go!
