When we speak of the nervous system and its total influence in all aspects of your body and your internal organs, we are also indicating that over time habits develop within the brain and nervous system, both good and bad which determine health and behaviour outcomes for the rest of our lives.
I believe this is also true in relation to your thinking processes.
In his book “Atomic Habits” James Clear says:
” The more you repeat a behaviour the more you enforce the identity associated with that behaviour. Your identity is literally your “repeated beingness”.
Whatever your identity is right now, you only believe it because you have proof of it each habit is like a suggestion “hey maybe this is who I am”. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up so does the evidence of your new identity.
Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. The most practical way to change what you are is to change what you do.
You don’t need to be perfect.
Decide what type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins
Tips:
- Realise that just a small change to your sugar intake (which may be a lingering bad habit from Xmas), will have very positive outcomes for your long-term health.
- Fifteen minutes of exercise each morning and evening will get blood flowing, and secretions (your body’s chemical messengers) being sent to promote health.
- Change the light bulb in your bedroom and bring it lower in voltage. That way you will get better sleep. Yes, I realise you turn the light off when you sleep, but that time while getting ready you don’t want bright lights.
- Come to the Get Back Health Clinic this week and get your nervous system realigned with an adjustment. This actually promotes better decision making in life.
