Part 8/12:
A vital tool for transformation involves changing how we use our neural pathways. By consciously redirecting thoughts and actions, we can create new habits and shift long-standing patterns. Experts recommend starting with small, manageable changes and linking new behaviors to existing routines to facilitate the integration of altered actions.
An effective example is the practice of gratitude linked to a daily routine, thus cementing a new positive habit in the psyche. This process illustrates neuroplasticity at work—the brain continually adapts as new connections form, and old, unhelpful patterns decay.
