17: New Neural Pathways - a podcast by Life Changing Services

The school bell begins to ring, the shrill sound echoing through the halls of the elementary school. It’s not recess time - school isn’t over - yet the bell keeps ringing. The children look up questioningly at the teacher. He quickly calls the class to order, saying, “Students, I need your attention. This is a fire drill. Do you remember the steps? Okay. Let’s go.”


In schools around the country this scene is repeated monthly to drill the behaviors that need to become automatic if a school is to be evacuated quickly and safely in the case of a real emergency.


In our lives there are times when we need a new behavior to become automatic. We may do things that we know we need to stop doing, or there may be something we need to start doing - but somehow we just cannot overcome the old habits and behaviors.

Science has shown that neural pathways are created in our minds over time as behaviors are repeated. Each time a behavior is repeated, that pathway deepens, and the behavior is more likely to be repeated. In this episode of the Life Changing Services Coach’s podcast, we discuss how to create effective drills that actually create new neural pathways that support the new behaviors we want in our lives. Yes, we can actually change - physically change - our minds!

Listen in to learn how some simple practices can give you power over unwanted behaviors. You can be that person you’ve always wanted to be! And drills are the tools that help you to create the behaviors and patterns that make it possible.
