Tricking Your Brain into Making Lasting Changes

How do you ensure you stick to that diet or stop smoking cigarettes? One way is tricking your brain into thinking that there are so many more changes that it has to reorganize. For example, changing your environment by rearranging furniture or moving art work around gives your brain a surge of new information. When there is at lot of information your brain will integrate and make adjustments. In comparison, if you make only one change your brain will attempt to pull you back into the routine because its' job is to keep things predictable and easy. Therefore, if you want to make permanent changes the best way to go about it is to make many changes at once!
