Our society demands a lot from us socially and in terms of our careers, family, and health. We have to deal with so many things that we constantly feel pressure and often are overtaken by events. As a consequence we work less efficiently. This means that we have less time for the really important things in life, such as spending time with our loved ones and taking care of our health.
The solution to these problems lies in regaining control over your thoughts and your behaviour. More specifically, unhealthy behaviours should be replaced by healthy automated, efficient and effective behaviours. Most of your behaviour and habits are ‘stored’ in networks of brain cells in your brain. Because the reward area is easily activated in unhealthy behaviour (i.e. smoking, checking facebook, binge watching tv shows), these networks get strengthened easily. This cycle of activation and strengthening quickly makes unhealthy behaviour a habit. That is why we are so prone to eating fatty and sweet food, exercise too little, reactively (or even compulsively) check Whatsapp, Facebook and emails and postpone study / work / cleaning. And last, we forget important things because we are easily distracted as a result of information overload.
However, considerable scientific research efforts are conducted in this area and in recent years tremendous progress has been made in the field of behavioural change. Unfortunately, this knowledge is often inaccessible to people outside academia since articles are written in academic English, there is extensive use of jargon, the items are behind pay walls and it takes years of training to evaluate the analysis and conclusions drawn by the researchers in scientific articles ...
Come in Neuro Habits…….
Drs David Maij (University of Amsterdam) and Miranda Smit (Utrecht University) are graduate neuropsychologists and have evaluated scientific literature on behavioural change over the years. They can present the latest scientific findings about behavioural change and the brain in a clear and accessible way and provide it to anyone who no longer wants to be a slave to his or her own habits. In order to help you achieve efficient behaviour, they provide both a theoretical framework and life-hacks which are necessary to gain desirable and control undesirable behaviour in the area of the memory, procrastination, sports facilities, nutrition or addictive behaviour.
