Veterinary Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Stopping the Same Old Same Old

Remember the problems you had in elementary school? You have different problems now than you did then, so why do you repeat the same behavior patterns now that you did then?

That’s easy to answer – it’s because those behavior patterns were formed when you were a young child, and your brain is a pattern-running machine. The human brain’s ability to learn new things is driven by its ability to recognize and replicate patterns, so if you learned that crying would get you out of having to make your bed, maybe you still tear up if someone needs you to do something you don’t want to do.

Next time you catch yourself reacting in the same old way, ask yourself if that’s really how you want to behave now that you’re grown up and more in charge of your life.
