Changing The Brain For Better Productivity

Why Is Change Hard To Achieve?
The latest research in neuroscience confirms what we have already learned, that is, our brains are hardwired to resist change.
That’s the bad news…
The good news is that this hardwiring can be changed and there are specific ways to do this.
The brain is very good at making connections, it does it by literally hardwiring itself. When repeated and reinforced over time, these connections become very strong. Most of them support us in living our daily lives in things like walking, talking, driving a car etc.
Limited Memory
Because we only have a very limited amount of working memory, these regular tasks are done by the subconscious. Who hasn’t driven home on occasion when tired and couldn’t remember the drive home?
It is built to detect changes and is constantly dividing, comparing, contrasting and differentiating everything it comes across. Again, most of it done under the surface, subconsciously.
We know that these automatic and programmed actions and thoughts serve us well in most cases but some do not and can cause common problems such as self sabotage, procrastination, relationship issues and many others.
What Can I Do About It?
That’s great to know, but what can you do about unhelpful programmed hardwiring?
Well, as I mentioned earlier the brain is constantly hardwiring everything it can, good or bad, and it usually sees change as a threat, especially as you get older. Trying to remove unhelpful habits, beliefs etc. can be extremely hard work and can take years to achieve.
Making new connections however, is relatively easy to do but it is not so easy by yourself. How many people (maybe even you) have read the books, attended the seminars, know the theory yet still resist taking real action?
Gaining new insights and developing your focus on where you are going rather than what is wrong is best done by working with someone else, like as an experienced coach who is familiar with these principles and has a proven methodology for effective behaviour change.
