Urgent Need to Change Today

Start today just as you did yesterday, and you’ll likely insure more comfortable paths to nowhere much different than yesterday’s trek in automatic pilot. Has it happened to you or others at your workplace?

Other than the odd confrontations with sticky problems that tend to tip mental scales in the direction of stress, you pretty much do the same stuff in the same way, with the same dead-ended disappointments. Ready for a change in the direction of profitability? MITA%20Growth.jpg

Why not start today with one key difference that will zip in new possibilities.

Here’s a suggestion that will rewire your dendrite brain cells for growth:

Head out to a favorite café for coffee. Then start your day with a notepad and the question, “What one routine could be dropped today in favor of a new target for peak-performance results?

To start my day differently, I rewrote the MITA Celebration of Growth to showcase brain dividends that come to leaders in MITA Certification leadership roundtables. Did you know that when we act differently today the brain literally  rewires your plasticity for more of those differences tomorrow. Now that’s an urgent reason to make good decisions and then act on them. Otherwise your brain simply defaults daily to your basal ganglia - which is designed for ruts.

My own changes today will improve what we do here at the MITA Brain Based Center, because we’ll now include this rejuvenated description in our mail-outs to leaders who want brain based certification. What could you do differently today that would land mind-bending results tomorrow?

Provocative post, Ellen. You say "you pretty much do the same stuff in the same way, with the same dead-ended disappointments." That's true for some things, but it's also true that those same routines, well-managed, can get the laundry done and free up brain time and energy for the exercises you suggest.

You build a good case for not removing the brain's basal ganglia, Wally! Love your description! It's so true that we free up time, and then to free up too much room in the brain, can also mean putting the main lights out:-) Aaahhh for the balance of great thinkers! You always tend to inspire with wisdom, Wally - and leave us thinking about the possibilities:-) Thanks!
