CHEAT

We all cheat.
 
Our brains prefer us to live cruising on autopilot down the neural pathways of our life, making as few decisions as possible. Our brain doesn’t differentiate between a healthy or an unhealthy habit, so if a habit we "love" is bad for us our brains develop strategies to cheat so we can keep doing, saying and being who and what we "want" to be.
 
Breaking automated habits needs a hardcore reboot.
 
When our neural pathways have become major motorways complete with signposts and routes to the same familiar destinations we can’t just simply wish to change but need to go to brain boot camp and create cues that force us, like Pavlovian dogs, to tread a path less trodden.
 
We can all create a system to cheat the system.
