Older and Wiser? Not with our brain!
Our primal brain is very much like a child. It searches for ease, avoids discomfort. It says things like: “Naw, that’s too hard. Why don’t you check Instagram?” or “Going to the gym is hard. You can do that tomorrow. Stay in your warm bed instead.”
Those thoughts your child brain is feeding you all serve to give you the urge to do something that’s not in your highest or best interest. You used your adult brain to think of something that was good for you and your child brain is like “Naw…eat the cookie! Scroll on social. Hit snooze”
My work here is to show you how allowing yourself to feel the urge that comes from thinking the thought that our primal brain hands us, WITHOUT ACTING ON IT, is the secret to achieving your goals and feeling proud of yourself.
The urge jar is an amazing tool my life coaching school developed that helps us build the muscle necessary to delay instant gratification so that we can live those lives we love. Hit reply and let me know if you’re going to use an urge jar in a certain area of your life.
