How to Rewire Your Brain ? There are many ways to wire and rewire our brain. One such way of wiring and rewiring our brain is cultivating habits.
What is a Habit?
Habit refers to the usual way of behaving or a tendency that someone has settled into.
How important is a Habit?
Habits are crucial for personal and professional growth as they shape behaviour, attitude, and ultimately, success. They also help us in achieving our goal, time management, skill-development, self esteem etc.
How does one work on the process?
Every small steps count. Don’t think that our efforts are too small to cause a ripple. Each one of us can change our bad habits to good ones by maintaining consistency and manifest our inner strength. Manifesting can lead one to the right pat and will automatically wire one’s brain to follow the right habit.
Will the result be good?
Yes, the result is truly worth and good. At the end of the day, our habits will turn out to be who we are. Habits will earn respect for us. Not only consistency and routine can wire our brain, but also discipline is equally important.
How can we boost our habits according to our interests?
Take everything on a lighter note, whether it is positive or negative. Celebrate every small steps and wins. Don’t mind what others think of you. It is because whenever we celebrate our achievements, our brain secretes a fluid called dopamine, which determines our habits.
How does dopamine accelerate us?
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger that transmits signals in the brain and body. It is involved in many psychological processes including mood, memory, learning and attention. It makes us feel happy or enthusiastic whenever we win, boosting our thoughts, which in turn, boosts our habits. We can make ourselves feel good by boosting the feel good chemicals in our body i.e., endorphin, oxytocin, serotonin levels. It can be done by exercising, act of kindness, food etc.

We can learn Habits by reading books regarding them. Some of the books are
1. Atomic Habits

Stay positive even if the world discourages you. Always remember – developing good habits is a journey to your final destination. Embrace the process. “With a Heart that’s true and a mind that’s clear, everything you do will win” and this is how to rewire your brain.
