DAY 19: Creating New Neural Pathways

Current brain research reports that it takes 21 days to create new neural pathways in the brain. "The pathway along which information travels through the neurons (nerve cells) of the brain is a neural pathway." Changing the way I do things today, and switching it up to do things in a new, more productive way, will create a new neural pathway in my brain. Consistency is key. In order for me to create this new road in my brain, I must veer away from an old tired habit, similar to driving to and from work the same way, and for the next 21 days, focus on a new and different routine. Although I've only been eating raw for 16 days, I have already noticed that my old way of doing things is evolving, changing, and moving in a new, more positive direction. Is it a concrete habit yet? No, but the good news is, that eventually, if I continue along this new, more healthy pathway of eating, I will at least consider the new, more positive patterns of eating while making food choices in the future. In otherwords, the foundation of a new neural pathway is currently being set in my brain. The longer I do a particular thing, the more set in stone it will become. The more I create new ways of doing things, the better it is for my brain, my health, and my overall well being.
