This Week's Review
Hey ,
How are you feeling today?
I hope you're doing well. Your routine isn't 100% changing but at least it's better than before. If it isn't, then I'm sorry. It's on me. Let's fix it. Here's the basic neuroscience for healthy habits and behavior change.
Neurons that 'Fire together, Wire together'. When you do something once, a set of neurons activate at the same time. And your brain recognizes this pattern. So the next time one of those neurons fires, you activate the whole set.
So the neurons that fire together, get wired together. This means that the first time you do a habit is always the hardest. But each time you do it, it becomes easier.
So , I understand. You want to feel motivated. You want to be healthy, happy, and productive.
I noticed a better mood these few days. I think it’s because of the tools but I’m not sure. How do you feel?
Did you like the dopamine hit from drinking enough water? If so, or if not, let’s try to make these healthy behaviors your default.
Again it’s kinda uncomfortable at first. But when you do it 1-3 times and notice that it helps. It becomes your default. So let's do that now.
Here’s a list of this past week's tools. Review them. And when done, find one thing you want to try again today. It’ll become part of your self-improvement toolkit.
Drink a glass/half a bottle of water
Take 5 deep breaths through your nose
Resist pleasures that make you feel pain. ex. skip a drink, delete social media, throw away deserts
Do a cold shower.
So, choose one of the options now and do it. Drink water, breathe, resist temptation, or get a cold shower. The feeling is worth it.
When you’re done compare how you felt before to how you feel after doing it.
Start!
p.s. my email provider was free. Now it wants $50/month. So I changed platform to keep this free for you guys. Excuse bad design and any bugs, and thanks for understanding!
