Re-pattern Your Brain For Well-Being


You can re-pattern your brain and live a new you…. Start by changing one old belief that holds you back and you’ll be ready for new stepping stones forward….brain 5.gif

Re-adjust your brain chemicals for well-being… for instance… and you’ll begin to burn strong rather than burn out…

Here are a few facts that can help you…

     Think of cortisol as mental hormones that work against you…and increase when you sink into ruts...
    See serotonin as your brain’s hormone that fuels well being and can be increased simply by what you do in an ordinary day…

Some tips that work well to increase serotonin at work … may help you to try a few:

-- light a vanilla candle
-- listen to great music
-- Laugh at yourself
-- Create an art piece
-- Move or walk

-- Contact an old friend for lunch
-- Give away something special
-- Relax…be good to you… breathe deeply
-- Walk past waves and remember a good time
-- Set the table with your best china for a solo lunch
-- Take a struggling teen shopping
-- Do one thing you most enjoy today after work

One lasting reward from doing what alters your brain chemicals in your favor…is that these can be habit forming. What you do on any ordinary day builds you dendrite brain cells that can rewire your brain for a  better tomorrow…. The mind takes what you do and weaves the benefits into synapses … which are kind of like telephone lines used in the brain to communicate…. In this case you’ll be creating synapses to connect your brain to more serotonin for well-being….

Worth a shot…?

Ellen's right - there's a lot you can do to reroute any negative patterning that you may have acquired.

People often think that once they have learnt a habitual response that they are stuck with it - but you can learn to rewire your own thinking and improve your well-being. This is great news for the 'easily-upset'.

Thank you Ellen - Tell us more.

Margaret thanks for dropping by... When I read your comment it reminded me that so few of us realize how forfiving our brains are to help us start thing over when they go off target.... Thanks for the new sparks on that one... Do you find that concept used much in leaders you coach...?
