Breaking Habits and Changing Ourselves

The hardest part about change is not making the same choice as the day before, and when we decide to make a different choice, we will feel uncomfortable. Habits are created when our body knows how to do something better than our conscious mind, and to break the habit of being ourselves, we must become conscious of our thoughts, actions, and emotions. Nerve cells that fire together, wire together, so our biology becomes programmed. Change requires changing how we think, act, and feel, and to do this, we must learn to slow down our brain waves, get beyond the analytical mind, and access the subconscious mind, where we can rewrite our program. By practicing this daily and familiarizing ourselves with new thought patterns and behaviors, we can reprogram our brain and create lasting change.
