And contrary to most people's beliefs that don't know this, functionally, every brain works the same. Functionally, every gas car works the same. Functionally, every electrical car works the same. Functionally, every bike or trike works the same. So functionally, they work the same. Is it possible for me to be a better driver? Now we enter my domain of, well, how can I use my brain better?
Great first question. Great first question. So first up, you weren't born with any beliefs. You weren't born with any fears. You weren't born with any self-image and you weren't born with any skills and you certainly weren't born with any habits. All of those things are nothing more than patterns that got reinforced in the brain. Some are constructive and lift you up and build you up.

Some are destructive and tear you down. Some are positive, some are negative. Some empower you, some disempower you. All are just patterns. And no differently than you can renovate your home, you can rewire your mind. You can have an upgraded software, shall we say, like you upgrade your cell phone software or your computer software, or you renovate your home or your bathroom.

Why not renovate some of the neural patterns using the latest in what is known as neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to create new connections and then reinforce them. So let's say you're out of shape and you're overweight by 20, 30, 40 pounds. And today, today, You say, OK, I'm going to start to see myself making healthier decisions.

I'm going to see myself, you know, taking one minute a day to just stretch just to start. I'm just going to stretch. I'm going to take one of my meals and I'm going to eat one meal healthier. That's all. And you did that for 30 days. Do you think that you might start to develop some slightly more empowering thought patterns, behavior patterns and habits?

Yeah, so what we want to understand is when we shift just a little bit, we activate brain cells. Those brain cells that fire together start to wire together. And so now we can add more time, more intensity, more complexity while we develop a new habit of thinking positively, while we develop a new habit of seeing ourselves achieve our goal.

Now we can accelerate what we do because we now have a new habit of doing, let's say, something empowering. And at first, we want to reduce it to the ridiculously small. Make it effort hyphen less. Make it stress less. Make it thinking less, right? And when we do that, we start to create a new pattern. I often say that first we build the simple habit. Then the habit will build us.

So how do we develop a habit? You want to start flossing your teeth? Floss one tooth today. Floss one tooth tomorrow. Just one tooth, boom, put it down. Less than three seconds. Every day, take out your flossing string. Just leave it by your toothbrush. Before or after you brush your teeth, preferably before, floss one tooth. Just commit to doing it for 30 days.
