How to bust your brain's bad behaviors

What is a bad behavior? One that results in negative outcomes! During gestation your brain began to shape itself, to create internal software programs (habits) that eventually enable you to engage in repetitive activities and achieve a consistent and predictable outcome. Every brain wants to feel good, too, and pushes its owner to self-medicate to achieve that sense of wellbeing. Knowing how to alter software can be critical to your success in life to say nothing of your level of health and potential longevity.

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

The human brain develops and shapes itself based on what it encounters in its environment beginning with gestation. The brain is designed to create internal software programs (habits) that enable you to do a vast number of activities without having to "think" about each step in the process. Since each brain is as different as its owner’s thumbprint, no two brains will ever think the same, perceive anything identically, or self medicate for the same precise reasons, or alter old behaviors using identical strategiesThe brain is designed to create internal software programs, which allow you to develop routines that give you predictable outcomes. Human beings tend to use these routines to self-medicate, to alter their brain's chemical stew much as a chef adds seasoning to a stew. Sometimes the software runs away with itself and escalates into an addictive behaviors. In all likelihood the software programs your brain contains will be there as long as their highway neurons exist (probably for as long asyou life). You can build a bypass, however, that can help you bust your brain's bad behaviors and achieve better outcomes.

This seminar is designed to increase an understanding of how the brain develops habits (internal brain software) and how you can alter them successfully. The concept of willpower and how it was designed to be used is discussed, along with the important of putting what you "do want to do" into working memory. It includes tips for building a bypass and for writing helpful affirmations.
