It’s amazing how the mere mention of cupcakes can make you crave cupcakes. Don’t give in to your cravings just because your brain has tricked you! Serve healthy food before unhealthy food to satisfy your hunger, for example, or pair a healthy habit (like exercise) with something you do every day. The more you can reward your brain for positive things, the less it will crave the positive reward of something you know isn’t good for you.
You know your life is full of clutter you don’t need, but every time you tidy up, you throw almost nothing away. For every item you touch, your brain convinces you that you “might need it someday.” Sound familiar? It’s amazing how simply touching an item can give you a sense of ownership. So instead, think about it the other way around: What if you lost everything? What would you repurchase and what would you let go? If you think about it this way, you can finally kick the clutter habit for good, despite your brain’s illogical protests.
No matter how productive you are during the day, it always feels like there aren’t enough hours before bedtime. Part of the reason for this is the way our brains perceive time. Luckily, you can turn this around. The more information your brain has to process, the more time seems to have passed. So to make your day feel longer, regularly present your brain with new information: keep learning, meet new people, visit new places, or learn a new skill. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.
