HELLO 2022! There is a newness in the air and with that comes the desire to reflect on what’s working and what’s not - one could say I am diving into makeovers around here - NOTHING IS SAFE. My routine, my mind, my workout and my meal plans!
BUT I am going to share it all so we all win! Up first: makeover your routine!
Did you know that the average adult brain has 40% less neurons (the little messengers that send information in your brain) than the average newborn baby? How can this be true? Adults have built up strong neurons for specific skills + habits, but, as grown-ups, we try and learn new things less often than newborns. This may sound like a bummer, but when it comes to habit building it is incredibly useful!
When you do something habitually, your brain works on autopilot. Things like how you wash your hair, brush your teeth, your bedtime routine, how you make your coffee… these are daily routines we barely have to think about HOW to do. When you want to bring something new into your routine, pairing it with a habit you already have down will fire those neurons and make the new habit stick that much faster!
