Our Thoughts Control Us

Ever wonder why it's so hard to change? Our brain's neural pathways keep us thinking the same thoughts, even when we try not to. Even when we make behavioral changes, the brain’s a stubborn entity that isn't so quick to change :)

Over time the brain can change and make new neural pathways. And it takes work. While thoughts may appear without our permission or planning, what we do with them is what counts.

It's hard to control which thoughts appear and we CAN and must take charge once they appear. We can use OTHER thoughts and decisions to replace thoughts which no longer serve us. By choosing thoughts which direct us to actions that will better serve us, we can take over impulses.
