Change is hard, harder than we think because essentially, our brains don’t change easily. Simply put, we are born with billions of unconnected neurons which begin to connect based on our experiences (which start forming our habits and behaviour). From our early years onwards, we start making connections that create pathways. Ever heard the saying, “it’s just how he/she is wired?” This is what these pathways are.
I prefer to call these pathways, ‘goat tracks’. Why? If you imagine every day a goat walks the same way to get fed, it starts to wear down the grass, going the same way, day in and day out. This is how it creates a well-defined track. Our habits and experiences create the same thing in our brain.
The belief that people never change is crap. It just takes a lot of commitment because essentially you need to create a new goat track and let the old goat track grow over. You already have a well-worn goat track around food so this program is designed to help you create a different, better goat track.
If you truly want to change, remember this quote over the next 8 weeks:
