Living on autopilot, moving through life in a haze
Repeating the same self destructive habits with no sense of control
Failing to change, even when you desperately wanted to?

Here's the truth..
The reason this happens is simple.
You indulge in an activity - this spikes your dopamine - there is glutamate release - it creates triggers
Now,
When you encounter a trigger,
Your frontal cortex (conscious brain) shuts off and the mid brain (emotional brain) takes over..

Now,
When you encounter a trigger,
Your frontal cortex (conscious brain) shuts off and the mid brain (emotional brain) takes over..
While much of the decision-making process takes place in other parts of the brain (such as the prefrontal cortex),
There is proof of the mid brain's propensity to take over in certain circumstances.
This is why you feel like you have no control..
Because it's true, you don't

You need to train your awareness to a degree where you notice exactly when this happens
How?
There are several methods to practice.
The one I've found easiest and most efficient is the Boyd's loop (OODA framework)

You can feel yourself slipping into the point just before relapse (mid brain activation)
What now?
You pro - actively implement some systems into your life

How?
Immediate action systems.
Simple IF - THEN automation to handle your triggers.
If I encounter "x" I will do "Y"
This takes away any reliance on willpower which is a failed strategy
P.S, I design custom systems for all my clients on my program @ projectphalanx.co
