Neural highways for habit traffic

You know you need to change.

You know what needs to be done.

To break an unhealthy habit.

To change the default action.

To replace a detrimental behaviour.

The old needs to be replaced with the new.

New creates a new neural pathway in the brain.

But the old neural pathway, old habit, is well established.

The old pathway is like a highway.

The new neural pathway is a dirt track.

Continuing with the new behaviour will build the pathway.

It becomes a lane.

Will power and self-motivation is required.

It becomes a road.

Focus and repetition.

A new highway is built.

The new habit now has a strong pathway to drive on.

What neutral highways are you building?

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”– Jim Rohn

“We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.” – Jim Rohn

 

(I couldn’t decide which Jim Rohn quote to include … so I went with all of them.)
