We come into this world prewired and that wiring gets shaped by our family and the outside world. This is all good when our wiring is mostly positive, but when our wiring is pretty much negative… that’s not so good.
The good news is we can rewire our brains by how we choose to think. We are who we are, but if there are things we want to change about ourselves such as being happier, kinder, compassionate, and patient beings we can do that. It all just takes willingness and a lot of practicing in order to make rewiring possible. There are therapists, books, articles etc. out there to help along the way.
A good start is simply learning to be more mindful. Don’t be too hard on yourself when you slip back into your old ways. I do that more than I like to admit. I don’t like it when I slip back, but I remind myself that it’s my default wiring kicking in. Recognizing slipping back shows rewiring is developing and that’s good because you’re getting somewhere, and that’s what it’s all about.
Anything is possible if you really want it.

wonderful rewiring plan, Michele!
i need to clean up
all these unsightly
wires 🙂
Hi there David 🙂 I just found your comment in my spam folder! I guess we better be checking these often. Anyway, I’m so glad you like my rewiring plan, and good luck cleaning up those unsightly wires. I know that I have lot of them to clean up too.
thank you, dear Michele!
wp was sending all my comments to spam for several days. they say the found a resolution. hopefully this vegetarian is kept out of spam for awhile 🙂
That’s cute David–I like that 🙂 Spam is popular in Hawaii.
A good reminder on Monday morning when my inbox is full to bursting and the work week looms, Michele. One step at a time.🥰
That’s right Pam, just one step at a time. I wish I would have thought this way years ago when I was rushing around to make deadlines and unconscious. I often wonder how I would be today given the same situations. Hopefully today me would wake up.
I know I definitely pay attention more, Michele. 🥰
🙂
Truth..rewired thinking 😉 Hugs
Many hugs Elizabeth 🙂 I’ll be rewiring until the end.
Great advice Michele. As always.
I appreciate that Alan.
Great post 😃
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Sorry to reply so late but you got stuck in my spam folder. This seems to be a problem some bloggers are having, so I guess we better check it often.
I needed to read that today, thank you.
Thank you for stopping by and reading Eva 🙂
Although they say about childhood brain plasticity, I think the adult brain is capable of amazing things, too. We can retrain our thoughts, adapt our perspectives, continually learn throughout life, become more mindful and stress less, make new neural connections… it’s all very exciting and should give us hope that things can and do change. Wonderful post! xx
I think as I get older that learning has gotten easier. I agree with you Caz that the adult brain is capable of amazing things. All the science out there is very exciting on what is being discovered about our brains. Take care, xx
Very informative ⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much 🙂
Like learning to read, painting the life you imagine for yourself requires patience, and practice, practice, practice.

That’s the truth. Thank you Paz.

Thank you.
Have you ever read The Four Agreements?
I have Eliza and I love that book. I keep it by my bedside.
This is lovely!
Thank you Vihani, so glad you enjoyed it.
Ah I wish I knew how 🙂 But we have to keep trying, right? 🙂
Hi, Inese 🙂 You are doing a good job. Look at all the beauty you are putting into the world with your wonderful photos.
Thank you so much, Michele 🙂
