"Wanting to diet" is one thing, but believing that your current eating habits aren't working is another. It's pretty clear to see that the person who "wants to diet" isn't going to get anywhere. On the other hand, the person who earnestly believes that their current eating habits aren't working likely will see success. To actually reprogram your brain, you have to honestly believe that negative thoughts and habits hold no value to you. When you believe this, better actions will follow. You probably know that negative thoughts lead to negative actions and negative patterns. They cloud the silver lining of life, and just seem to cultivate unhappiness. It shouldn't be hard to see they have no value, right? Where do they get you? Where do they get any of us? Your brain is plastic and totally moldable. That's a fact. Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity is the term for your brain changing as it has new experiences and new thoughts. In short, your brain is like a computer.  It takes information in and uses it.  You believe in the power of your computer, so you should believe in the power of your brain, too. Another good reason to think of your brain as a computer is because it helps you see that any number of outcomes are possible at any given time. You input some information into your brain (like you would a computer), it sorts through it (like a computer does), and it comes out with a solution (like a computer). However, if you change the way you sort the information or how the information comes in or even what information comes in, you'll get a different result – just like a computer. Think outside of the box and you may come up with a completely different operating system. One that is way better than the previous system you were running on! This goes hand in hand with the idea that negative thoughts hold no value. Your mind has to be in the right place for your brain to start changing, or being reprogrammed. After all, "I want to lose weight" and "I believe I can lose weight" are two totally different thoughts. In short, you have to believe in yourself. You are capable of change. And you'll get it done, too. This belief can help you get started on the positive thinking train. When you believe that something is possible, you will see more opportunities in front of you. A light sort of clicks on, illuminating your world in a golden glow. All of a sudden, things are brighter. Things are looking up. You start to believe that you can do this, and then you do!. As you get better and better at this brain reprogramming thing, start taking your thoughts and challenging them. Is what your thought or belief? Is it your thought or was it handed to you? If you come up with thoughts that are just beliefs and that aren't yours, challenge them. What's a better thought? What is a more efficient thought? What is a more positive thought? Which thought of others would get you closer to being who you want to be? Our cultures tend to "grow us up" in specific ways. We're taught to think, learn, act, and generally operate in specific, acceptable ways. It's up to you to take that neocortex of yours (your highly-evolved brain) and put it to work. What actually is best for you? What goes with your values? There's an app for everything, and that includes positive thinking and brain retraining. Stress-Free Life and I Can Do It are just two examples of technology that can help to keep your mind in the game and firing on all motivation, positive cylinders. If writing in a journal doesn't appeal to you, this may be the next best thing. We all need little shortcuts to get us to our best selves. Whether it's an app, a self-help book, notes on our fridge, or a journal, they all can help us to keep us in line. If you really want to be successful at reprogramming your brain, it's a good idea to look into more tangible things to keep on the right track.
