Episode 143: Changing Your Thought Habits
Episode description
When we think about creating new habits, we naturally tend to focus our attention on our behaviors and actions.
But each of us also have mental habits, thoughts that we have thought repeatedly and often, sometimes for years or even decades of our lives. The more we think the same thought, in fact every time we think the thought, the deeper and more efficient our neural pathways to that thought become—making our most repeated thoughts easy to think and easy to believe and more and more automatic.
In order to change our lives, we have to identify and replace our unproductive thought patterns and create new thought habits. But that is easier said than done because of all the practice our brain has had thinking the old thoughts.
In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to find, notice, and replace your old thought habits and I’ll share the best ways to do the intentional and consistent mental work to create brand new thought habits on purpose.
