When you make decisions in advance, it is with your prefrontal cortex – the part of your brain that has your best interests in mind. When you go to follow through on these decisions, you often rely on your habit brain. But what happens when your habit brain is stuck in habits that no longer serve you?
Your prefrontal cortex is Naturally Thin, and your habit brain is a diet brain, so the result is friction. When you know how to allow an emotion without fighting it, when you feel the emotion of desire without responding to it, you have control over it. So this week, I’m showing you how to first train your habit brain and then use it to follow through on decisions made by your prefrontal cortex.
In this episode, learn how to say goodbye to rebelling against a diet brain and hello to a Naturally Thin habit brain that will serve you for the rest of your life. Find out why true mental freedom comes from making a decision in advance AND trusting yourself to follow through with it, and how to retrain your habit brain to come back to being Naturally Thin.
