Understanding the Brain's Resistance to Financial Change

The brain operates based on a 'set point,' which is like a comfort zone determined by past experiences. It resists significant financial changes to maintain homeostasis through the Hippothalamus. Any deviation from the set point triggers the amygdala, causing fear and resistance to change. To overcome this resistance, align your conscious desires with your non-conscious self. Making small changes in thoughts and behaviors rather than large ones can help avoid activating the fear center. Visualizing success can activate motivation centers in the brain and encourage action towards goals.
