“Does it seem difficult to change? Do you find yourself doing the same things you said you’d stop? You want to do something new different and good for you, but you don’t? Why is this? What can you do about it? It is a problem all of us face? It is part of being human.
“All through the history of science, we find that new ideas have to force their way into the common mind in disguise, as though they were burglars instead of benefactors of the race.” – Dr. Edwin E. Slosson. The new ways seem to struggle to replace the old.
We’re creatures of habit. Our brains love to learn to do things. Then once they do, they want to do what they learned to do. Most all of our conditioning takes place by the time we’re 7 years old. We are wired to think, feel and behave in certain ways. So we do.
The More We Do The More We Become Capable Of Doing
These ways become our comfort zone. We don’t like leaving it. As we consciously attempt to change behaviors, thoughts or feelings our brains kick in with negative self-talk, guilt, and desire for the old behavior to get us to go back to our comfort zone. It’s habit to do so.
So how do we change? We have to change the way we learned to do it in the first place, but this time with awareness and dedication. We need to rehearse the new thoughts, feelings and behaviors repeatedly, correctly, for long enough to make them a new habit.
We can re-write the old, but to do that we must stick with it. Since our tendency is to revert we must get up every time we fall. Most of us don’t want to hear this because we want it easy and comfortable, but this is the way it is. Persistence pays off.
