Change Your Life, Change Your Brain
Your brain is the biggest tool that you can use in your life, but if it is working against you, then it would prove to be a worthy adversary. Therefore to get any success at all you need to learn how to train your brain to work for you and not against you.
The first technique I will explain is the rubber band technique. In this technique you pop yourself with a rubber band that is on your wrist every time you have a negative thought or emotion. Your brain learns not to got to that area because that will cause pain for itself. Therefore your mind will block out certain thoughts on its own. This tool can be used to create a mindful environment for a self-esteem filled life. It also can be used as a motivator. For instance a person who wants to lose weight can pop them self whenever cravings overcome them or whenever negative beliefs about exercise feels their minds.
To add more leverage to this technique all one has to do is catch the thought sooner.
