Episode notes
Three Brain Systems
- The human brain has three systems: logical human, emotional chimp, and programmable computer.
- The computer system is the fastest, crucial for quick actions and habits.
Self-Image and Habits
- Reframe your self-image to change habits (e.g., see yourself as tidy, not untidy).
- This reprograms your "computer" system, making the undesired behavior feel wrong.
Reward Your Chimp
- Acknowledge and reward your "chimp" for positive changes, even small ones.
- Open communication with your partner about efforts avoids resentment.
