Among the first questions you usually receive, particularly from sceptics and those who have never sought any type of mentoring, coaching, or counselling, is just why you'll need professional help. You might find the clear answer to the question surprising. It's not actually whatever you do. The tools to use as a team are psychological ones, which create physical changes in your brain. There's a favorite saying in the sciences of neurology and psychology. The neurons that fire together wire together... And the neurons that firewire apart. This saying stems from some relatively recent research. We have learned that the human brain can rewire itself, changing old behaviours, habits, and beliefs to new behaviours, habits, and ideas.
This ability is known as neuroplasticity. It absolutely was thought that the human brain was moulded within our childhood and remained relatively static once we became a grown-up for all years. Alas, the old and false phrase, You can't teach old dogs new tricks. Your companion lived in a neighbouring farmhouse over a mile away on the other side of the wheat field. Every day for years, you would walk your pet through the field on the same path you had your morning coffee with your very best friend. Years of repetitive walking through exactly the same trial had laid down an apparent path through the otherwise obscuring wheat. You would have quickly reached the point where you'd to provide no thought whatsoever regarding how to get your friend's house, and you would naturally and intuitively follow the road you had laid down within the years. On one morning walk, your faithful dog veered off the trail, following his nose to an unknown destination.
You leave the trail in hot pursuit, following the few strands of broken wheat only to catch as much as your loyal canine buddy, who continues to lead you through the wheat field and down the hill exiting out leading door of one's friend's house. In the times that follow, Rover continues to lead you down this new path that's becoming more self-evident with every use. Within a couple weeks, you no longer need Rover's guidance as you are able to clearly stay on course by yourself, and after a few months, you have totally neglected your old trail in favour of the newest and more fulfilling path. In fact, by this time around, the old route has grown in with new stands of wheat, and any attempt to follow along with the old path would prove pretty difficult. The neurons in your brain are much such as the wheat in the field. Through the years, you have laid down neuron paths that connect things that you see, hear and do, with an associated feeling and possible judgment. In under a millisecond, your brain travels these neural pathways. We now know these connections are no longer permanent.
