About this episode
This episode discusses how changing your environment can lead to significant changes in behavior and mindset.
If you want a real fresh start, don’t follow the clock. Start noticing your space, your room, your environment. Your brain is an associative machine. It links habits to places. Like, you sit on that couch, your brain expects the same snack. You sit at that desk, your body prepares for the same stress. That’s why trying to change your behavior without changing your environment can feel like an uphill battle. You don’t need a new year. You need a new view. Move your chair. Open your window. Change your space. These small changes interrupt the old cues... and signal to your brain: something is different here. The wonder of the human mind is that it doesn’t need a new year to begin again. It just needs a clear moment where something changes. 1MinuteWonder.com This is a public episode.
