🧠 - Habit change & Neuroplasticity. The brain will always naturally look to take the path of least resistance. Neural pathways that are frequently used & well maintained are easier fo the brain to find & use repeatedly, as opposed to the brain having to compute & calculate new ways to create new & different function. @the.brain.guy __ 🧠 - The brain will always look to simply increase effort by ramping up the activation of familiar existing pathways, rather than expend energy & time attempting to create new ones. __ 🧠 - In the adult brain, attention is key for creating change via Neuroplasticity. This is true in areas of function relating to movement & it is true with regard to changing one’s experieice of life. Using attention to identify the stressful stimuli in our life, we can begin to gain an understading of the hierarchy of our values. When we inderstand our values, we can know who we are. When we know who we are, we are then better placed to make the decisions that will take us to a new level of mind & a new experieince of life #thebrain #behavioranalysis #behaviortherapist #behavioralhealth #consciousnessshift #wellnesstips #cbttherapy #biohacking #biohack #biohacker #newthoughts #newmind #neuron #neurons #synapse #newthought #liveyourbestlifenow #meditationspace #meditatedaily #neuroplasticity #intelligenceissexy #consciousthoughts #subconsciousmind #subconscious #conscious_knowledge #habitchangecoach #defaultmodenetwork #healingjourney #habitchange #amazingfacts

Today is international #transdayofvisibility and we wanted to highlight this honour by @soyouwanttotalkabout . How to be a good ally Here are a few ways to support the transgender community today: Seek out stories by transgender creators. Seek out authentic stories and media that have been created by the transgender community, such as the Transgender Film Center, a non-profit organization that supports transgender filmmakers and their projects. Call your local LGBTQ center. See what kind of help they need, whether it be volunteering or offering a service that you're good at. Educate yourself. Allies can start by learning the basic terminology surrounding the transgender community. For example, people often confuse sexual orientation and gender identity. There are many places online that share tips on how to be a good ally. Many transgender people are happy to discuss their experience, but allies shouldn't always assume that's the case. There are so many resources out there to help you if you want to learn more about the community and how to be supportive. Let's begin with these resources and references, especially if you know any trans that are in need of mental health support contacts 💙
