Results Based Approach - Neuro Tip

Insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting a different result. Here's the problem - we are so close to our brain and how we think that we often don't catch where we are doing the same thing again and expecting a different result. This is how the brain sabotages us.

Here's a quick summary of how the brain works.

1. Brain's job is keep us alive
2. In the past that meant fed and not getting eating by a bear. Safe meant avoiding discomfort of starving and getting physically hurt.
3. Fast forward to today, our Brain has the job still of keeping us alive. But frustratingly it interprets discomfort as "DANGER" - which becomes a problem if we want to grow and become a different person than we are today. 
4. We now know with Neuro Science how the brain processes and forms automations. We can use this to teach our brain that the new person we want to become IS SAFE. The beauty of this is that once our brain is aligned with version 2.0 of ourselves instead of fighting to keep us stuck with automations that fire without our permission or knowledge our brain starts making automations that fast forward us to version 2.0 of ourself!

Step 3 is the reason why we must process our thoughts with others. We are too close to what our brain is doing to identify how it is keeping us stuck.

When you change how the brain processes, you change the results EVERY TIME.

Ways you can use this to help your teen at home:

• Create a safe space for an open dialogue about life, wins, challenges and struggles
• Create a safe space where they can respectfully call out in love areas in your life where they see you playing it safe and shying away from the person you have said you want to become. Allow them to come to the conclusion they want you to do the same to you. When you see someone whole-heartedly pursuing something and making progress it often becomes  contagious! When it is your teens idea it will be more powerful than you saying they need to do it.
